I've uploaded a PDF that was not 8.5x11. How do I resize my PDF?

Using full version (Standard or Professional) of Adobe Acrobat 6.0/7.0

  1. Open the pdf in the full version of Adobe Acrobat.
  2. Select File then select Print from the top navigational menu.
  3. Select 'Adobe PDF' as the printer.
  4. Click on Properties to bring up the Adobe PDF document properties window.
    1. Choose 'letter' as the Adobe PDF page size.
    2. Un-check the 'Do not send fonts to Adobe PDF' option so that the fonts are sent.
    3. Click ok.
  5. Click ok to print.
  6. Give it a new filename.

If you receive a distiller error during this process it may be that the Adobe distiller is having difficulty converting the PDF because of embedded images in your file. We recommend that you download a third party PDF conversion tool such as CutePDF to complete the re-sizing: http://www.cutepdf.com/
