How to Change a PDF Page Size
The portable document format, or PDF, was created by Adobe as an easy way to share documents with people who may not have the same programs that created those documents. When you create a PDF, it is a representation of the source file -- the same size, using the same fonts and with the same images. However, you can change the size of the document if you have a PDF editing program such as Adobe Acrobat. That way you can change the size of the document to fit your needs.
