dearles Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have a completed document over 100 pages that I need to resize and save several copies in several sizes to send off. When I use the built in tool to resize and resample, the whole thing freezes up and never recovers. Thinking it was just my computer, I sent the document to a brand new laptop and tried again but it did the same thing there. Both computers are running windows 10. Is there another option I can try to get the results I need? This is of course, a time sensitive project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is just a kind of A4->A5 resize, you can do it by printing to a PDF printer. Select the target paper size and scale down or up.

dearles Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 I need to resize from 8x10 to various other sizes. What is "printing to a pdf printer"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a kind of virtual printer, that produces PDF files instead of making real printouts. When using a PDF printer you cannot change the ratio of the size dimensions like resizing in Document setup. Attached an image where I scaled down an A4 to A5.

dearles Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Ah ok. Might be able to do this for those sizes that don't need a ratio adjustment. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted July 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2020 @dearles Can you give the latest beta of Publisher ago to see if that suffers from the same issue when you are resizing the document. As this is a beta I'd recommend creating a copy of your file, rename it and use this in the beta, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
