Resize PDF Page Contents

Adjusting the size of PDF page content is often necessary when preparing documents for printing, fitting content into a specific layout, or standardizing page formats across a document. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can resize the contents of selected pages programmatically without manually editing the document.

This article shows how to use the ‘resize_contents’ method of the PdfFileEditor class to modify the dimensions of page content for specific pages in a PDF file. By specifying the target width and height, the content on the selected pages is resized accordingly.

1. Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
2. Resize Page Contents.

Parameters:

• [1, 3] – list of page numbers whose contents will be resized.
• 400 – the new width of the page content (in points).
• 750 – the new height of the page content (in points).

from io import FileIO

from os import path
import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


# Resize PDF Page Contents
def resize_pdf_page_contents(infile, outfile):
    # Create a PdfFileEditor object
    pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()

    if not pdf_editor.resize_contents(
        FileIO(infile), FileIO(outfile, "w"), [1, 3], 400, 750
    ):
        raise Exception("Failed to resize PDF page contents.")
