General ⇒ how to scale pdf output within TeXnicCenter

[questionmark]

Hi Folks !

Maybe my question is a rather simple one !?
I am looking to scale the pdf output of TeXnicCenter to a certain size.
Actually I do have an A4 document which I what to scale down to 70% of its original size, in order to create an A5 document (without "adjusting" my original layout seetings). Moreover, I would like to define the resolutionto 600dpi.
Does anyone has an idea how this could be done? Probably some kind of seetings in the output profile are nescessry. But which?

Thanks a lot for any comments in advance.

have fun

The resolution can be set with GSview/Ghostscript by choosing "Convert" in the "File" menu and acticating "pdfwrite" with the desired resolution. The A4 paper format can be kept, your printing works should be able to scale the document for you. As an alternative, you can compile your document to postscript and take a look at pstops from the psutils bundle. This bundle should have been installed on your computer with your LaTeX system. Afterwards you can convert it again to PDF.
