PDF scaling

Post by makrell66 »

I have searched the forum, but I can't find an answer to my question:

Can I use IM to scale PDF files? I want to scale PDF files both up and down.
For example, I have an A3 sized PDF I want to scale down to A4.

As far as I know, IM does not resize by page format names A3, A4 etc. You can resize an image by pixels using -resize. You can also change the dots per inch using -density or both using -resample. See all these at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php

There are also special PDF processing parameters, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#ps
