Is this a follow-up to a previous html to pdf question?
Do I understand it right that you want not to merely resize PDF pages
but to change how the contents (of the original html) are split
between the pages, i.e., use a different font size, margins, etc.?
If the answer to both questions is yes then:
1) I don't think you can manipulate the resulting PDF in this way
without a scriptable PDF editor (and I don't know of any);
2) you need to do it at the html2ps stage, and "man 5 html2psrc"
should be helpful.
If by any chance all you want to do is resizing the pages of the
resulting PDF (without modifying the contents of each page) then a
suitably clever combination of pdftk(1) and ImageMagick(1) (probably
convert(1)), or maybe just the latter, should be up to the task. I'll
leave RTFMing to you.
