Default Editing a PDF shipping label

Can anyone help me edit a PDF return shipping label from Ebay? The label they e-mailed to me is tiny and barely readable. Measures about 1.5" x 2.5". I need the label to be approx. 4" x 6".

There is no way to talk to anyone at Ebay to fix the issue. And I would have to pay for a monthly subscription with Adobe Reader to be able to edit myself.

I bought a remanufactured carburetor on Ebay and seller sent wrong carb. He then wanted me to return it outside of Ebay which leaves me with no protection. I filed for a return and Ebay e-mailed me a tiny return label I can't use or edit!

You should be able to resize it thru the options on your printer.
Google your printer brand/model # & ask how to resize. HTH!

This method should work for most people using windows that have Adobe Reader installed, or the built in PDF reader in Microsoft Edge browser.

If you are looking at the file on the screen in one of these PDF readers ... hit the "print" button and you should see some print options come up.

You should see an area with printer options, look for a button for "more options" or "advanced options" something like that.





On the new set of printer controls you should seen an option for "Scale" or "Resize" etc. Choose this option and guesstimate the percent increase in size you need for the label. Then hit the normal print button at the bottom.

Did you get this figured out? If not you can email the PDF to me and I should be able to resize it. or try the resize from your printer software shown abvove if you have that.

If not, the label should still work, its small but the shipper should still be able to scan the bar code, hand write the address on the box if you want. If its USPS you can schedule them to pick it up from your door for free to save a trip to the post office.

Go to a Library , Staples , or Office Depot.
They will assist you and get it done ..... about 20cents

Most Staples are UPS drop off points also.
