How to make a PDF smaller in width


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I have no idea how PDF works, but I'm trying to make a nice looking pdf for a presentation. So I used a usual website grid, expecting it naively to behave slightly similar to a website in size. Unfortunately, when I open the pdf in a browser, at 100% zoom it's huge, I think it's double the original size :D All the images of course look crappy, the text is huge, so the user has to zoom out until 75% to actually see the presentation the way I want him to see it. Again, I have no idea how PDF works, it's the first time I create one, is there a way to have it look normal at 100% size, because it looks perfect if I export it as a jpeg and view it in the browser at 100% zoom.

Thank you :)

Different browsers display PDF files differently. This Adobe Acrobat User Guide page includes some info about that, but the bottom line is you really don't have any control over how they will be displayed by whatever browser anybody besides yourself is using.
