How It Works

This tool resizes all pages of a PDF to a standard paper size — A4, A3, A5, US Letter, Legal, or Tabloid — scaling content proportionally to fit the new dimensions, processed locally using pdf-lib.

Why this matters across regions

The US and a few other countries use Letter/Legal paper sizes, while most of the rest of the world uses the ISO A-series (A4, A3, A5) — a PDF created for one standard often doesn't print cleanly on the other region's default paper size without resizing, sometimes cutting off content or leaving odd margins.

Proportional scaling

Content is scaled proportionally to fit within the new page dimensions rather than stretched unevenly — this preserves the original aspect ratio and readability, though very differently-shaped target sizes may still result in some added margin space.

Examples

Preparing a US document for international printing

Converting a US Letter-sized PDF to A4 before sending it to a printer or recipient in a country that standardizes on A4, so it prints correctly without unexpected cropping.

Standardizing a mixed-size document

A merged PDF containing pages originally created at different sizes can be resized uniformly to A4 throughout for a consistent, professional appearance.

Common Use Cases

  • Preparing documents for international printing where paper size conventions differ
  • Standardizing a merged or assembled document to one consistent page size
  • Fixing a PDF that displays or prints awkwardly due to a non-standard original page size

Tips

  • A4 and US Letter are close in size but not identical (A4 is slightly narrower and taller) — always resize explicitly rather than assuming a document will print correctly on the "wrong" region's default paper size.
  • Check the resized output before printing large batches — very differently proportioned original pages may end up with more white space margin than expected after proportional scaling.
