Hi... I'm an inner city teacher, and I'm trying to format some ebooks that my students can read online. The "surest" file format they all seem to be able to access is PDF.

So I found several books they'd love in EPUB format, and I'm using calibre to convert them to PDF. The problem is that the generated PDF files are way too small... less than a quarter the size of an actual page.

I've looked for solutions for days, and have played around with Base Font Size under "Look & Feel", and Paper Size, Default Font Size, and Page Margins under "PDF Output". But the best I can do is move that "quarter page size" around in the PDF output file.

How do I enlarge the PDF output so that it takes up a whole page? I can send the EPUB to someone if it helps.

Thank you! My students and I appreciate the help!
