Modifying the Output Size of PDF Documents

Specialized Administration > Supporting Visualization and Publishing > WTDocument Coversheets Configuration and Customization > Modifying the Output Size of PDF Documents

You can modify the output size of PDF pages using a Document Description XML (DDX) document. To do this, use the DDX file located at codebase\com\ptc\coversheet\basic\tpl\ddxDirective.xml.

Detailed information about various DDX options can be found in the Adobe® publication, Assembler Service and DDX Reference in the Adobe Help Center.

By default, the system uses the input document page size.

A sample customization of the output size appears below. The “PageSize” entry (<PageSize width="8.27in" height="11.69in"/> in the example) specifies the desired output size.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="target_document">
<PDF source="inDoc"/>
</PDF>
<PDF result="outDoc">
<PageSize width="8.27in" height="11.69in"/>
<PDF source="coversheet"/>
<PDF source="target_document"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
