Add white space around existing page artwork
Leave space for handwritten review notes
A reviewer needs space for notes around an A4 proof while the original text size must remain unchanged. Add 15 mm per side. The A4 page becomes about 240 by 327 mm, so choose suitable print stock or retain it as a digital review copy. Avoid Fit to page if preserving physical text size is essential.
✓ A 15 mm margin increases each dimension by 30 mm. Inspect the page-size report and make sure the print dialog is not shrinking the newly expanded sheet.Make it work for your document
Options after selecting a fileFrequently asked questions
The details, when you need them.
Does this shrink the original page content?
No. It adds space around the existing displayed artwork.
Can I remove margins instead?
Use Crop PDF to change the visible page boundaries.
Expand the paper rather than shrink the content
The original visible page artwork keeps its displayed size. The new page grows by twice the chosen margin in each dimension. This differs from resizing to a standard paper size, where the artwork may need to shrink to fit. Mixed source page sizes remain different sizes after the same margins are added.
Preserve a source copy
New pages are built from the visible artwork, and interactive forms, annotations and document navigation are not transferred. Use the result for a layout or printing workflow after checking it. If you need a specific final paper size, use Resize PDF instead.
Check the saved result
A 15 mm margin increases each dimension by 30 mm. Inspect the page-size report and make sure the print dialog is not shrinking the newly expanded sheet.
Larger pages can be scaled by printers
The output rebuilds visible artwork and does not transfer forms, annotations or bookmarks.
The content looks smaller when printed
The larger paper is being scaled to fit the printer stock. Print at actual size on suitable stock, or use Resize PDF for a fixed paper size.
