About the job
Suppose you have an A4-size PDF document (210 x 297 mm) and you need to scale the page boxes and the page content to fit the US Letter page size (8.5 x 11"). While scaling, you will probably need to:
- Scale the page content proportionally to prevent distortion of text and other objects
- Scale the page boxes non-proportionally, because the proportions (width to height) of an A4 page are different from those of the US Letter format
Scale the entire page and the page content from A4 size (A) to US Letter (B).
