Scaling (resizing) of PDF with all the content

[vkovenko]

Greetings! I wonder if it's possible to resize pdf along with all the content relevant to it (images, text, svg elements, etc.).
Assume that I need to make my pdf 2 times bigger. Any option of how to achieve it using fitz library?

You mean you want to increase the dimension of each page? No problem:

src = fitz.open("input.pdf")
doc = fitz.open()  # new output PDF
for page in src:
    w, h = page.rect.br  # extract input page widht and height
    newpage = doc.new_page(width=2*w, height=2*h)
    newpage.show_pdf_page(newpage.rect, src, page.number)
doc.ez_save("output.pdf")

The output will show the original pages stretched by a factor of 2.
