In AA Pro it's under the documents menu.

Did you find where it downloaded to?

I see the file with an icon that looks like a filing cabinet. It won't open. I have a file that is Adobe 8 and one that is Adobe 9.Those I have had for awhile. So they aren't any help.

I don't find a file or program I can open.

When you download, does it give you the option of where to save it? Does it offer both the save and run options?

I found it and it had not finished installing. I ran the install and it said the data file was corrupt and couldn't install. so I had to cancel it. I am at a point where I wish I hadn't started this.

But I still want to be able to change the size. Maybe tomarrow I will try again to download this. Right now I have spent all day off and on trying to get this to work and I am ready for a break.

Some trial downloads don't give you all the capabilities of the program. I know that is true with embroidery programs. Rhonda hope you find a solution.

Well I solved my immediate problem with using links instead of pdfs but I still want to pursue this.

I downloaded PDF creator but it didn't help either. but there are some features on there that are interesting. I also downloaded what said it was a PDF resizer but it only resized the files to the same 10.6 mb size. I had no control over what size it ended up being.

It may not be possible but I will still keep an eye out for this.
