Hello Adrian, I have had the same problem to resize a calendar with a careful layout, and this in short time. My solution was really to resize the final pdf. The tool which did it for me was jpdftweak. http://jpdftweak.sourceforge.net/ Under pagesize you can scale the pdf. I think its worth a try. /Ralf
