Enlarging PDFs for printing can be a tricky task when you have a PDF file that needs to be printed. Thankfully, there are now ways to make this process easier. In this article, we’ll explore the different methods of enlarging PDFs for printing so that your documents look their best when you send them off to the printer. Read on to find out how to enlarge PDFs for printing!
Different Ways to Enlarge a PDF for Printing
There are a few different ways that you can enlarge a PDF for printing. The first way is to increase the print size within the PDF document.
Secondly, If you don't have access to the original PDF file or can't seem to get the print size increased correctly, another option is to use an online converter tool. Some different websites offer this service, but we recommend using WPS Office.
Finally, if you want to enlarge a small PDF section (like an image), you can use Photoshop (or another image editor). Open the PDF in Photoshop, select the portion you want to resize, and then go to Edit > Free Transform. You can drag one of the edges outward to increase the size of that selection and save.
