We’re excited to bring new EditPdf API updates to your attention!

With the release of Cloudmersive Convert API V-6-6-1, new paperSize parameter values have been added to the Resize PDF API.

These values include the following new paper sizes:

• Letter
• Legal
• Tabloid
• Ledger
• B5

Previously, Resize PDF values included A7 through A0.

Letter size

Adding the Letter value to your Resize PDF request converts the existing paper size to 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). This is considered a standard paper size in the United States, and it’s commonly used for a wide range of documents.

Legal size

Requesting a page size conversion to Legal returns PDF pages that are 8.5 x 14 inches (216 x 356 mm) long. The Legal paper size is a version of Letter optimized for legal use-cases; it maintains identical horizontal proportions while accommodating extra page length.

Tabloid size

Utilizing the Tabloid value converts pages to 11 x 17 inch (279 x 432 mm) dimensions. As the name suggests, this page size is designed with publications (newspapers, magazines, etc.) in mind.

Ledger size

Converting PDF pages to Ledger size results in the same 11 x 17 inch (279 x 432 mm) dimensions as the Tabloid value. The only difference is that pages are returned in landscape orientation to facilitate the presentation of accounting materials (e.g., spreadsheets converted to PDF).

B5 size

Specifying the B5 PDF paper size returns 6.93 x 9.84 inch (176 x 250 mm) pages. This medium-sized option is commonly used for books and other stationery materials.

Changing PDF paper sizes with Cloudmersive

Resize PDF requests are handled by passing PDF file bytes and a paperSize parameter string to the Convert API EditPdf endpoint in an application/octet-stream request. The Resize PDF API returns modified PDF file bytes as a string in its response.
