Similar to photocopying your original page but at 75% of the original size? (Since you mention the font size) AFAIK there's no easy way to achieve that esp. for ratio of font size to text width. <br /><br />If you just need to resize your paper *size* but the main typeblock (area occupied by main text block) remains the same size, then you can just adjust the left, right, top, bottom margins accordingly with the geometry package.<br /><br />If you're looking for a solution to rescale your page (like photocopying to 75% of original page) a quick fix would be to use the pdfpages package. It lets you include specific pages from a PDF file with scaling options.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425095272099633523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884016216619384610.post-36695876647745051062009-10-29T13:44:00.121+08:002009-10-29T13:44:00.121+08:00I have the following question:
