Resize a document

Use the printer software for either of these tasks:

Print a document on a paper size different from the size for which it is formatted.

Shrink or enlarge text and graphics on the printed page.

Print on a different paper size

Use this feature to print a document that is formatted for one paper size on another paper
size. Doing this can be useful if you do not have the correct paper size available.
For example, if you have created a document that is formatted for letter-size paper, but
you do not have any letter-size paper available, you can print the document on another
paper size that is available.
