Product: Apryse Server SDK (PHP)

Product Version: 11.7?

Please give a brief summary of your issue:
I am trying to combine several PDFs, but I want a document with consistent page size.

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
Using the example code from Merge, Copy, Delete, Rearrange PDF Pages - Sample Code | Apryse documentation , I have made a new PDF, but because the source PDFs are several different sizes, the new document also has everything in different page sizes, and I am not sure which objects and functions I should use to scale everything to a standard letter size page.

Hello jday, There is a forum page with more information on what methods to use to scale the entire page. Please take a look here and let us know if it answers your question.

Thanks! Is the number that you get from GetMediaBox()- > Width() a measurement in pixels? Since I’m not sure how PDFTron handles DPI yet, what Width() should I be aiming for in order to get a good quality print on A4?

The Rect returned by Page.GetMediaBox() is expressed in PDF user space coordinates (PDF units), not pixels.

For more information about the PDF coordinate system and PDF units, see: What are PDF Units and Coordinates? : Apryse

An A3 page measures 11.69 × 16.54 inches. Since PDF coordinates use 72 units per inch, you can convert the page dimensions to PDF coordinates as follows:

Width  = 11.69 × 72 = 841.68
Height = 16.54 × 72 = 1,190.88

Let us know if you have any questions.
