I have a pdf file in A4 size but need to convert it to Letter.
What is the fastest way of doing it?

The simple way is to open it in something that can print to PDF (like
KPDF), and do a print-to-pdf and change the paper size.
However, this just scales each page to fit. If you want to
re-paginate the PDF, there is no clean way that I know of. You
basically have to do something like pdf2html to get the content out,
and then use something like openoffice/koffice to format it like you
want.
Maybe others will have a better idea...

My problem is the second one, it is a pdf A4 file and I want to print in
letter format.
I've tried pdf2html but all it does it generate png image (fuzzy image)
Though, I had a very good result by opening a PDF file with Gimp and
printing it (very clear image).
