- carlosjobim 2y agoYes, exactly. That's what matters.
- dagw 2y agoDepends which parameter you choose to hold fixed. You could shrink your text and keep the layout and page count or keep your text size fixed and increase the page count. If people were doing layout for a fixed A5 or A6 size they will probably make many different choices compared to laying out for A4.
- rjmunro 2y agoI think the point is that if you are designing with that size in mind you may make different decisions about the column layout etc. I would have thought that a PDF of a book would normally be made in the size of the physical book, which could be A4, but usually isn't (at least not when I look at my bookshelves).
- Maken 2y agoText size decides everything: paragraph size, heading breaks, figure placement, etc.
- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoProbably also column layout. 2-column documents are fine for A4 sizes, but terrible for A6 or most e-reader screen sizes. Scroll down, then up & across, then down, then across, then repeat. Versus just scroll down or just turn pages.
