[newbie] Linux app for resizing PDFs
Is there a way to resize A4 PDF pages to U.S. Letter using what comes in a d/l 3-CD distro of MDK 9? I tried using KGhostView without success. I would like to keep the docs as PDFs, if possible, but would glady convert them to something else as long as they print out as they now look in PDF format. Currently, I am porting them over to a M$ machine that gives me access to AdobeDistiller to change the page sizes to fit my lazer printer. A friendly point in the right direction is enough, but please give me simple to achieve approach, if possible. :-) TIA T Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Not sure if you can resize with ghostscript. What I do know is that Acrobat 5.05 allows you to print to any size paper, and it will scale the image to fit the paper. Is that what you want? It is not on the download CDs though :( Acrobat is available as an RPM from Mandrake Club, and is available somewhere on the Adobe download site. derek On Wednesday 16 Oct 2002 5:37 pm, Technoslick wrote: Is there a way to resize A4 PDF pages to U.S. Letter using what comes in a d/l 3-CD distro of MDK 9?

What I do know is that Acrobat 5.05 allows you to print to any size paper, and it will scale the image to fit the paper. Is that what you want? I forgot about Acrobat for Linux! I don't HAVE to reconstruct the PDFs, just get them to print out in the correct page format to satisfy my anal printer. ;-) It is not on the download CDs though :( Acrobat is available as an RPM from Mandrake Club, and is available somewhere on the Adobe download site. This is great! I don't care that it is not on the MDK CDs, as long as I can get it somewhere. derek Thanks, Derek! T Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
