# Page Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
A diagnostic tool that reads every page in your PDF and reports its exact dimensions, orientation, standard size name, aspect ratio, area, and rotation. Useful for catching mixed-size pages before printing or for documenting the properties of a PDF you received.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Upload a PDF file. Analysis starts automatically -- no button to press.
|
||||
2. A summary panel shows total pages, number of unique page sizes, and whether the document has mixed sizes.
|
||||
3. Browse the full results table with per-page details.
|
||||
4. Switch display units between Points, Inches, Millimeters, or Pixels.
|
||||
5. Click **Export to CSV** to save the data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reported Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Description |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Page # | Sequential page number |
|
||||
| Dimensions | Width x Height in the selected unit |
|
||||
| Standard Size | Matched name (A4, Letter, etc.) or "Custom" |
|
||||
| Orientation | Portrait or Landscape |
|
||||
| Aspect Ratio | Width-to-height ratio as a decimal |
|
||||
| Area | Page area in the selected unit squared |
|
||||
| Rotation | Page rotation in degrees |
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatic detection of standard paper sizes (A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and more)
|
||||
- Mixed-size document warning with a breakdown of which sizes appear and how many pages use each
|
||||
- Unit conversion between points, inches, millimeters, and pixels (at 96 PPI)
|
||||
- CSV export for use in spreadsheets or documentation systems
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Verifying all pages are A4 before submitting a document to a print shop
|
||||
- Diagnosing why a merged PDF prints with unexpected margins on certain pages
|
||||
- Documenting the page layout of a large PDF archive for metadata records
|
||||
- Identifying rotated pages that need correction
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- If the summary shows "Mixed Sizes," use the Fix Page Size tool to standardize before printing.
|
||||
- The rotation field helps identify pages that display correctly but have a non-zero rotation attribute, which can cause issues in some workflows.
