What do you use to downscale individual pages in PDFs? Thread poster: Vieslav Vieslavovich
|
|---|
Say you have a PDF with 5 pages, 4 of which are normal and the 5th is so huge Finereader can't handle it (it fails to automatically expand the page size in Word enough for the whole content to fit. And Word has a page size limit of 58 cm or something.
Reducing DPI in Finereader doesn't help with the resolution (which is at ridiculous 9700x8000-ish).
What do you use?

| Use Adobe Photoshop | Nov 27, 2023 |
Open this document with Photoshop.
While opening, the app will ask you the page you need.
Select the last "abnormal" page with a good dpi (300-600 dpi, for instance).
When opened, process it (clean, rotate, straighten lines, etc.).
Then, go to image size and resample it to the dimensions you find suitable for your requirements.
Save the result in tiff format and open it in Abbyy FR.
Good luck!

It depends what the goal is. Maybe Powerpoint could help? Or an online pdf converter. If you export the big page as jpeg then you can resize it in a photo editor app of your choice.
You could also try to pen the pdf in Chrome, print, select save as pdf, maybe it'll resize it by default.

Graphic Converter. If you open the PDF you navigate to the individual page you want to change, and modify it in a variety of ways including scaling, resolution, orientation, brightness/contrast etc. Then you save the PDF and the changes are incorporated.
But only if you're on the MacOS

I went with this and it did the job. Quick, easy and no installation issues, unlike the Acrobat trial I tried.
I have a gut feeling this is also somehow possible in Finereader PDF 15.
