Ok, it seems I have been getting quite a few PDF's lately that are about a half an inch too small. I can scale the artwork in Acrobat, but, as far as I know there is no way to change the size of the bounding box. So, my usual procedure is to open the PDF in Ai and resize. However, when I don't have the fonts that are embedded in the document, I have to open in PS at a resolution of at least 800, resize, save as an EPS and distill (don't save as an PDF out of PS in this case because the file size is way too big.) Doing it this way keeps the text pretty sharp, but this just does not seem like the best thing to do. I want to keep it vector, but I don't see any other option. How does everyone else handle this situation (don't give the obvious answer of telling the customer to fix it, we all have deadlines and can't always get up with the designers in time.) I would be interested to know if anyone has a better method for handling this situation.
