Introduction to InDesign Change Page Size

InDesign Change Page size is a very useful feature of this software because during working on a large project we have to adjust the page size according to the requirement of the project and there may be any time you have to change the size of only some pages or one page of the document for a different type of purposes. InDesign offers us some options through which we can adjust the size of a page according to your requirement and not only we can change the size of page but also we can resize content and text of the page in the same ratio. So let us have a good discussion on this topic.

 

 

How to Change Page Size in In Design?

There are many ways through which we can change the size of a page of the document according to our requirement and for that, we have to go through some settings of different options of menus of the menu bar. So let me tell you about this.
