How to resize PDF pages

  2. Pick the paper.
  3. Press Resize and download.

What happens to your file

Ghostscript scales each page to fit the paper you chose, keeping its proportions, and centres it; text stays text and links stay links. A4 to Letter shrinks by about three per cent and gains a little side margin; Letter to A4 the other way.

Mixed page sizes are each fitted on their own — a landscape page lands as a landscape page on the same paper size, rotated to fit.

Questions

Does it crop?

No — it scales to fit, so nothing is lost; the trade is a small margin where the proportions differ.
