What does scaling content do?

Content scaling adjusts the size of all page content — text, images, graphics, and layout elements — relative to the page boundaries, without changing the physical page dimensions. Scaling down to 90% creates a margin around all sides by shrinking everything toward the center. Scaling up to 110% enlarges all content but may clip elements near page edges if they exceed the page boundary.

Will scaling affect text quality?

Text and vector graphics scale perfectly because they are mathematically defined and resolution-independent. There is no quality loss when scaling vector content to any size. Raster images may lose sharpness if scaled up significantly beyond their native resolution. Scaling down raster images slightly improves their apparent sharpness in some cases.

Why would I scale PDF content?

Common use cases include adding margin space to a document that prints too close to the edge, fitting content that was designed for a slightly different page size, preparing a document for printing with specific margin requirements, or shrinking content to accommodate a watermark, header, or footer added in a subsequent step without overlapping the main content.

Can I scale content on specific pages only?

Yes, you can apply content scaling to all pages uniformly or select a specific range of pages to scale. This is useful when a document has a mix of regular pages and pages with special layouts — for example, scaling all pages except the cover page, or scaling only the pages in a specific chapter that needs margin adjustment.

What is the difference between scaling content and resizing pages?

Scaling content changes the size of the content within a fixed-size page. Resizing pages changes the actual page dimensions. If you want to add margins around existing content, scale the content down (e.g., to 90%). If you want the document to print on a different paper size, resize the pages. The two operations can be combined to both change the page size and adjust the content scale.
