Suppose you have an A4-size PDF document (210 x 297 mm)
and you need to scale the page boxes and the page content to fit
the US Letter page size (8.5 x 11"). While scaling, you will probably
need to:
- Scale the page content proportionally to prevent
distortion of text and other objects
- Scale the page
boxes non-proportionally, because the proportions (width to
height) of an A4 page are different from those of the US Letter
format
Figure 1. Scale the entire page and the page
content from A4 size (A) to
US Letter (B).
