Scale Pages

The -scale-page operation scales each page in the range by the X and Y factors given. This scales both the page contents, and the page size itself. It also scales any Crop Box and other boxes (Art Box, Trim Box etc). As with several of these commands, remember to take into account any page rotation when considering what the X and Y axes relate to.

The -scale-to-fit operation scales each page in the range to fit a given page size, preserving aspect ratio and centering the result.

The -scale-to-fit-best and -scale-to-fit-minus are similar, but will rotate a page by $90^\circ$ or $-90^\circ$ respectively on any page where doing so would maximise the scale.

The scale can optionally be set to a percentage of the available area, instead of filling it, when using any of the three operations.

The -scale-contents operation scales the contents, leaving the page dimensions unchanged. The position of the scaled content in the output can be specified using the same postional operators used when adding text (See position).
