  1. How to Create and Change PDF Dimension for Book Printing

  2. PRINTING REQUIREMENTS Publications and print vendors would usually require certain standards before they can accept a printing project. Users would have to meet those requirements that are considered “print-ready” in PDF format so that the book will be set for actual printing. The book will need to be trimmed if the size does not fit or will be resized for a different paper. Using PDF format, the default size usually used by many popular applications is the A4 with plenty of limitations on customizing. So how do we overcome those easily?

  3. RESIZING YOUR PDF EASILY

  4. What is Trim Size? In the world of printing, there is such a term as “trim size” and it basically is about the size of the digital file that follows the actual paper size.

  5. For example If you say you have a 3 x 4 trim size, that means that the actual book will be printed this small. Therefore, when creating a PDF using popular applications like MS Word, the paper size should also be customized into 3 x 4 and saved in PDF with the same sizing.
