Reformatting document size

[fernando_zamora@adobeforums.com]

have a ---- load of PDFs i need to blow up to 200 percent, is there a way of doing them all in acrobat? like change their paper size.

can do a print and fit to page but it will just do it to fit the page, i can't find a way to do it to 200 percent.

can do one page at a time in illustrator but like i said, i have a load to do. it seems like it should be an option in acrobat.

I don't think there's an easy way in Acrobat.

In Illustrator you "should" be able to create an action then run it in a batch on a folder of PDF's. You'd want to get more detail in the Illy forum.

Beware that Illy is not an pdf editing program. Even with things like
blowing things up 200% things can go wrong. For example, with the wrong
version of Illy you will loose font embedding. With the correct version
of Illy you will loose font embedding if you do not have the font on
your system.

Mike makes a good point.

My advice assumes you've created the PDF's in Illy on your machine to begin with.

If not, your results may vary.

Even using this method (the ability to place multi-page PDFs also comes
in both .js and applescript with CS3) will still transcode/re-fry the
PDF with potential problems.

I would look at Acrobat plug-in called Enfocus Pitstop (30-day FREE
trial available at enfocus.com) - focus on the GLOBAL CHANGE AREA -
very, very slick!
