Hello,

I have a printing issue... And it's going to be hard to explain.
Sometimes I need to design big banners, up to 5m in height. My designs
have to be evaluated by our customers, so we send them in PDF.  But
because of the size of my design, the PDF is getting big in filesize
too.

So, I need to find a solution to get the design I made at screen size
or a A4. It easy to print the PDF again in Acrobat reader en choose
"Scale to Fit" on a A4 paper, BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT I NEED!  I want my
final resized PDF to be a percentage of my original document, but de
document size has to be a constrained percentage of the original
document. So, no white borders arround my design, the customers have to
get a clear look on my design, and its (scaled) dimensions.

I think I need a batch-script that scales the dimensions of my original
document to dimensions that fit on an A4. But the final document only
has to contain the design I made...

Is this clear for you guys ;)

Hope someone can help me... thx anyway for any effort
