Title: Resizing when printing
Post by: Alan Aldred on September 12, 2025, 07:29:32 PM
Hi Everyone, I'm quite new to Scribus. Can I resize a page for printing in terms of percentage. In other words can I print an A3 document on A4 paper. Or as In my problem, so I could use an existing house plan which is too big for A3, I made the page size 50% bigger than A3. I now want to print it out on A3. Hope you understand me.

hi alan

i wouldn't resize it with scribus. (too complicated for this task...)
either you can do the resizing while printing or you use a .pdf-manipulator (even the old jpdftweak (https://jpdftweak.sourceforge.io/) can do this) if you really need a .pdf file in the new size (in your case a3...)

Sorry, you said I can resize it when printing but where do you adjust the size in the print window. I can't find anywhere.
