Frequently Asked Questions
Will resizing distort the content?
Content is scaled proportionally. For best results, resize to the same aspect ratio as the original.
Can I resize individual pages differently?
Currently the same dimensions apply to all pages. Use Page Manager to extract pages first for per-page resizing.
What units can I use?
Millimeters, inches, or points. The tool converts automatically.
