  • Making a pocket-size version of a manual or guide
  • Reading a document comfortably on a small tablet

Frequently asked questions

Will small text still be readable?

A4 body text scales to about 70% on A5, which is usually still comfortable, but very small print may need a larger source.

How is A5 different from A4?

A5 is 148 × 210 mm — exactly half of an A4 sheet folded along its short side.

Can I print two A5 pages on one A4 sheet?

Yes. Use the 2 pages per sheet preset on the resized file.
