Hello,

You can achieve this by importing data from a PDF and adding it to a new page of a PDF. Please refer to the documentation on placing imported pages here.

Here is a code sample:

            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(@"Source PDF file format");
            Document document = new Document();
            for (int i = 0; i < pdf.Pages.Count; i++)
            {
               ImportedPageData impData = new ImportedPageData(pdf.Pages[i], 0, 0);
               Page page = new Page(PageSize.A6, PageOrientation.Portrait);
               //impData.Width = page.Dimensions.Body.Width;
               //impData.Height = page.Dimensions.Body.Height;
               impData.Width = page.Dimensions.Width;
               impData.Height = page.Dimensions.Height;
               page.Elements.Add(impData);
               document.Pages.Add(page);
            }
            document.Draw(@"Path to save the PDF");

Hi,

   We have paid support for our Dynamic PDF product. I used the sample code here, to write code resize any PDF's that are larger than Letter sized (8.5 x11), to be Letter sized.

And it seems to work, except it has problems with ovesized pages with IMAGES on them. In the resulting resized PDF, the pages with images act very strange, and seem to scroll or flicker, or the text and images are just not formatted properly. It's very odd. Am I missing something, or does DynamicPDF not support resizing of PDF's with images.

Here's the code that does the conversion:
               ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageDimensions pgDimensions = pdfDocument.Pages[0].GetDimensions();
               //Set Letter size
               ceTe.DynamicPDF.Page page = new ceTe.DynamicPDF.Page(ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageSize.Letter, ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageOrientation.Portrait);

               if ((pgDimensions.Height > page.Dimensions.Height) || (pgDimensions.Height < page.Dimensions.Height) ||
                  (pgDimensions.Width > page.Dimensions.Width) || (pgDimensions.Width < page.Dimensions.Width))
               {//Shrink oversized pages, or any pages not Letter sized to 8.5 x 11 - Letter sized

                  ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document document = new ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document();
                  for (int i = 0; i < pdfDocument.Pages.Count; i++)
                  {
                        ImportedPageData impData = new ImportedPageData(pdfDocument.Pages[i], 0, 0);
                        impData.Width = page.Dimensions.Width;
                        impData.Height = page.Dimensions.Height;
                        page.Elements.Add(impData);
                        document.Pages.Add(page);
                  }
#if DEBUG
                  string inputFilePathWoExtn = Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath) + "\\" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath);
                  string outputFilePath = inputFilePathWoExtn + "_resized.pdf";
                  document.Draw(outputFilePath);
#endif
                  PdfDocument pdfDocument_resized = new ceTe.DynamicPDF.Merger.PdfDocument(document.Draw());
                  mergedDoc.Append(pdfDocument_resized);
