Frequently Asked Questions
How do I resize a PDF page?
Upload your PDF to a resize tool, choose the target paper size (A4, Letter, A3, Legal, or custom dimensions), and download. The tool changes the MediaBox to the new dimensions and scales or repositions page content to fit.
How do I convert a PDF from Letter to A4?
Letter (8.5×11 inches / 215.9×279.4mm) and A4 (210×297mm) are similar but not identical — A4 is slightly taller and narrower. A resize tool rescales page content proportionally and adjusts the MediaBox. Content at the edges may shift slightly.
How do I resize a PDF to a custom dimension?
Enter exact width and height values in the resize tool — most tools accept millimetres, inches, or points (1/72 inch). The tool sets the MediaBox to your dimensions and scales content to fit within that area.
What is the difference between page size and crop box?
Page size (MediaBox) is the actual PDF page dimension. CropBox is the visible area shown to viewers, which defaults to the MediaBox but can be smaller. Resizing changes the MediaBox; cropping changes the CropBox. They are independent operations.
How does resizing affect PDF content?
Resizing scales all page content (text, images, vector graphics) uniformly to fit the new dimensions. Text remains crisp because vector text scales without quality loss. Embedded bitmap images are not re-sampled — they scale geometrically, which may affect perceived sharpness if zoomed significantly.
