I wonder if this is what you're asking and if this will help and if the Iliad has Acrobat installed onboard.
On your computer open any pdf document. When your document is open, resize your window any size you wish by dragging a side, top or bottom edge. Then go to view menu and click "reflow". Ploblem solved. Any size your window is open, your text will follow every time you use this.

That works on PC and with ordinary Acrobat readers. But the iLiad is a beast of a different colour: no window to resize, and no reflow capability, at least not for the foreseeable future.

That the reason for this thread: although documents can be shown on the iLiad, they can't necessarily be read unless they are fairly close to the actual screen size (or type size is large enough to be legible even after scaling).

Typical story I've been working in IT for years but I can't resize a PDF. I've been using Acrobat 7.08. If anyone knows an app to make converting pdf size easy please let me know..

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..

thanks folks.

I tried the trial version of this.

Worked OK, but quite pricey for what it does.

The best solution for Textonly-PDFs seems to be saving them as HTML. The HTML-Viewer is quite good and you can change the textsize.

Using Acrobat I've found that the easiest way (the only way?) to resize is just to print to Adobe Printer with a new page size. According to Commander, Open Office does a good job too, using the "convert to pdf" function.

Yes, but its useless! The iliad automatically sizes the page so that it fits in the display. So it makes no difference if you open the original DIN A4 or print it before to DIN A5. What would make a difference is to cut (crop) out the white space around the real text. Then the font is better readable. All PDFs i tried so far are unreadable small on the iliad.

Yes, of course, I really meant for small variations. I was trying out several font sizes, margins, etc., but I had already changed the text using Word to an A5 to start with. As to not making a difference, I might be wrong, but I feel it's less work for the iLiad (so better page turns), if it doesn't have to resize too much.

Agree with you, by now I have been trying Acrobat and pdfFactory to crop the white margin to "up-5mm, down-5mm, left-1mm and right-1mm" recommended by iLiad's document, unfortunately I still don't know how to make it by these two PDF tools.

As we already collect so many PDF ebooks, how to crop the A4 or other size PDF files to A5 with small white margin is a big issue for iLiad user.

I also try http://www.evermap.com/autopage.asp (autopageX plugin for Acrobat), it works fine, doing what we need. But the 700KB plugin sold for $99!!! It is really expensive.

I found it!

Right Click on the Toolbar -> Advanced Editing -> Crop Tool -> Select the Area you want (should be the same for all pages or you have to do it one-for-one) -> Click again on the Button -> OK
