PDF Resize

When it comes to PDF files, we've seen all sorts of apps. There are plenty of reasons for an individual to attempt to adjust PDF files. For one, this is a versatile file format that can be adjusted many times, on different systems with different reference values. If you'd like to resize your PDF document, but don't like all those GUI quirky apps, this CMD-based software, going by the name PDF Resize will definitely win you over.

Before anything else, you'll have to be accustomed to a certain level with CMD commands, or at least the idea behind it. Running CMD with administrator rights could also prove to be a very good idea. Still, the gist of it all resides in the commands you'll have to utilize. Being a resize utility, the commands deal with scale, centering content, offset, and various other coordinates for rearranging and adjusting the PDF to its newly indicated values.

If you're usually avoiding CMD-based apps because you can't really understand what and how you're supposed to do with them, this particular case is an exception. Why? For most of the available commands, the developer has included a set of examples. This way you'll get to understand exactly what the app expects your commands to look like. If you want to rescale test.pdf using a scale of two hundred, without changing its name, the command will look something along the lines of "test.pdf out-test.pdf -scale200", pretty simple if you get how the developer behind the app thought of it.

PDF Resize is an interesting application, mostly because it has an interesting way of executing its advertised capabilities. In other words, it's not about the functionality, but rather about how it was implemented in a CMD-type app. Alongside this perspective, a CMD app will also have a smaller footprint when compared to any GUI counterpart.
