I'm trying to print a simple US Letter document, but for some reason, I just cannot manage to fit it properly onto A4 when printing multiple pages per-list.
I have tried converting the pdf using: gs -o print.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA -pPDFFitPage -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 input.pdf
But this does not seem to have any effect on the document, it still shows as US letter.
Any way how to convert a pdf to A4 format?
One solution that usually works is to use pdfjam from the texlive distribution
> pdfinfo in.pdf ... Producer: Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 (Windows) ... Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) Page rot: 0 File size: 66676 bytes Optimized: yes PDF version: 1.4 > pdfjam --outfile out.pdf --paper a4paper in.pdf > pdfinfo out.pdf Creator: TeX Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.15 ... Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) Page rot: 0 File size: 53963 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 Setting the paper size to something unconventional works with another switch, such as --papersize '{6.125in,9.250in}'.
As you can see here it also changed the PDF version, and dropped/modified other properties of the PDF, so you have to check if its suitable for your task.
