Picked up on a post from 2006 (thread223-1256844) regarding how to increase margins in PDF documents.
I recently upgraded to "Acrobat XI Pro" and still couldn't figure out how to keep the text further away from the edge of a page. Actually, how to create a margin.
In 2006 no one neither seemed to have a great solution at hand.
Well, I am a long term user of "FinePrint" and its mate "PDF Factory Pro" and with that team onboard it was rather easy to create a PDF with a nice margin.
It has to be said that when increasing the Binding margin in "FinePrint" the whole page scaled a little bit down. Not to an extend that it was an issue.
As my PDF (a conversion from an EPUB eBook) was a book, I Extracted in "Acrobat XI Pro" the original cover of the book from the PDF-with-the-tiny-margins.
Next I 'printed' the file to "FinePrint". There I adjusted the Binding margin and "printed" further on to "PDF Factory Pro".
In "PDF Factory Pro" I saved the file as a PDF. That file I opened next in "Acrobat XI Pro" where I replaced the now somewhat squeezed cover of the book with the one I had saved from the original PDF. All sorted.
"FinePrint" is culturally-aware: it can work with both documents that flip from right-to-left as well as those that flip from left-to-right.
In my case the outcome worked for me in one go. "FinePrint" can adjust the Binding margin and that means either on the left or on the right side of the page.
I guess if you would need to resize significantly both the left and the right margins you may have to repeat the production process a second time.
After 1 'pass' I didn't notice any decrease of the quality; the text stayed sharp etc.
Hope this information is useful to someone. Like to the programmers of Acrobat....
Have a great day.
