Does anyone know how to change the dimensions of each page on an Acrobat document.
Also how can I see the dimensions of each page seperately??
For example I have a 3 pages document. The first 2 pages are of the same dimensions 8.2 x 11.6 inches. However the 3rd is smaller. How do I make it larger?
Thanks

With Mac OS X and the more recent versions of Acrobat Pro, the PDF printer option does not work. What does work is doing basically the same thing in Preview App. Open the multi page file in Preview, select File>Print. In the Print dialog set your sheet size as if you are using a printer. You may want to select "Auto Rotate", "Scale to Fit" and "Print Entire Image". Then in the lower left corner is the drop button "PDF" and in that menu select "Save as PDF". Give it a new file name, click Save and then you can open the resulting file in whatever PDF app you want and the sheet sizes are the same.

You have to use the Print to a New PDF option using the PDF printer. Once in the dialog box, set the page scaling to 100% and set your page size. Once you do that, your new PDF will be uniform in page sizes.

Open the PDF in MacOS´ Preview App
Chose File menu –> Export as PDF
In the export dialog klick the Details button an select your page size
Click save
All pages of the resulting document will be scaled to that size. The resulting file size is nearly identical to the original PDF, so I conclude, that image resolutions/compressions are not changed.
Hints:
I am not sure whether the "Export as PDF" menu item is available by default or only if Adobe Acrobat is installed.
My first trial was to use Preview App and print (!) into a new PDF, but this leads to additional margins around the page content.

The page sizes are looking different in your PDF because the images were originally set to different DPI (even if images are identical HxW in pixels). The good news is - it's only a display issue - and can be fixed easily.
An image with a higher DPI value would display smaller in a PDF (displays at the 'print-size' of the image). To avoid this, open each image in an image editor like GIMP or Photoshop. Open relevant image print control dialog box and set a suitable uniform DPI info for all the images. Remake the PDF with these new images. If in the new PDF images are too big - redo the DPI setting for each to a higher value. If in the new PDF pages are too small to read on-screen without zooming, again - redo DPI adjustment, this time put a lower DPI value. Ideally, 150 DPI should be good enough for images of 2500X2500 pixel - on a 17 inch monitor set to 1366x768 resolution.
BTW, the PDF file shall print each page at the specified DPI of that page. If all images are same DPI, you'll get a uniform printing.
Hope this helps :)

The above works,(having an original document with mixed pages of 11' and 16' wide).
However auto rotate needs to be off otherwise landscape pages are saved with page white top and bottom, so dont work in full screen view.
Solution is to re open the new PDF in acrobat and crop the first image (carefully to avoid white border), then select page range i.e. all, this then applies to all pages.
job done !

Knitr Bookdown - building high res graphics and hyperlink from RMD

I am using R/Rstudio/bookdown to generate a large document with many figures and tables.
I'd like the user to be able to click on the document image and be passed through to a high-res version of the image that is in the document. Ideally this happens in a new browser window, rather than into GIMP, etc.
This could happen by clicking on the document image, or via a simple hyperlink near to the image. Any suggestions?
Ideally I would be able to build the document image and the high-res image at the same time and this could be relatively automated.

SSRS - same PDF report (rdl file), different line height on different systems

When reports from our system in Singapor where copied to our system in Germany they show different formatting: The generated PDF report in Germany has more space between the lines and the footer is not visible.
When reducing the top and bottom padding of the text fields from 2p to 1p the lines are nearly equally high and the footer is back in place.
Checked differences, but not found:
both SQL 2008 R2
same version of report viewer
same configuration of report viewer
same font used
report solution was also copied - no difference
Where can I look for differences? I thought the formatting was only done in rdl file itself? Any Ideas? Please ask for more of my system details, if needed. Thanks.
Additional information from my side:
I generate both reports (same report on different systems) on the same browser and download and open both PDF on the same system with the same Acrobat Reader - so screen resolution is also the same. PDF Properties as Page Size and PDF Producer and Version is also the same.
anonymized report: left Singapor - right Germany
When you are in Preview Mode - Click button to the right of the Print Icon called [PRINT LAYOUT].
Here, you can manipulate the header/footer and margin size in order to fit everything in your report on one page.
Once you've done this, you should be able to go back into the report, right-click outside of the report, or inside the header/Footer and change the properties. You can change the length to the sizes you chose in preview mode that fit everything into your screen. Let me know if this helps

How to get selected artboard index from AI image?

GhostScript can render AI images where each artboard is represented as a page. So I can tell to GS what page (ie artboard) I want to render.
But how to determine what artboard is selected in AI image programmatically?
Download a sample AI image with 2 artboards (ArtBoard2 is selected)
Ghostscript only renders .ai files when the file contains valid PostScript (or PDF in later versions). Not all .ai files can be rendered.
Without knowing what an 'artboard' is represented as (though your question seems to indicate it is a page) in a PostScript program or PDF file its not possible to answer your question, perhaps you could post an example that might make things clearer.
However I very strongly suspect the answer is 'you can't'.

Unable to retrieve photoshop default fonts

I installed Photoshop-CC that time it was working correctly but after installing few font's of mine and overwriting few fonts, all the text using default Photoshop font get disappeared.
Text disappeared from all the popup window and other side bars .
when you will open your psd file so one popup will appear on you screen.
"some text layers might need to update before the can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?"
your just click to update. problem will solve.
if problem will not solved.
you just do below process.
Holding down the Alt + Ctrl + and Shift keys while starting up Photoshop will cause a dialog box to appear. You will be prompted to delete your Photoshop settings file.
Choosing yes will delete the settings file that Photoshop creates and updates whenever you make a change in your settings.
This will defiantly work for you.
