Cool.
By the way, if you want to cut out the "middle man", and just have ImageMagick do the resizing, you can use: convert input.pdf -resize 600x800! output.pdf The units for -resize are pixels, 1/72th of an inch. It'll do every page. The exclamation mark is needed if you want to lose the aspect ratio. Very handy if put in a batch file to do an entire directory (or more) at once. Let me know if you'd need help with that. (I'd need to know your operating system.) |

EDIT: Just tried it with a vectored PDF and what it gives you is an image of each page in Word, so whilst you cannot edit the text you can resize the image - which might give you what you want. Last edited by TGS; 03-31-2010 at 10:53 AM. |

I've tried the command with my pdf file, it failed on the way. I believe it was because my original file has a number of different page sizes. It worked if my pdf input file has consistent page size; or same page size for all pages. Thanks again. Last edited by bthoven; 04-01-2010 at 01:00 AM. |

Even converting a vectored pdf into Word for Thai text, the result is still not acceptable, too many errors to correct. If I have a vectored PDF which page size is too big with too much text, I use sopdf to trim the margins, and if necessary, to split each page into two, and view it in landscape mode. I can live with this approach. |
