InDesign document size slightly smaller than required!! Help!

Hi,

I have a 250 page document that is perfectly laid out -- but it turns out the designer got the dimensions wrong when setting it up.

The large landscape is supposed to be 12.75 x 10.75 inches, but the digital document size is 12.5 x 10.625 inches -- a difference of 0.25 and 0.125 inches.

I haven't been able to find an InDesign solution that won't screw up the layout. Is it possible to take the bleed into consideration (0.125 inches for all)? 

Any help will be appreciated,

Cheers.

Do you have any full bleed content?

Do you have a PDF?

Very little full bleed content -- mostly full page screenshots.

I can generate a PDF from the InDesign file...?

Produce the PDF first.

Then send it to me and I will resize it for you.

Hi,

With the suggested 0.125in bleed the output PDF is actually 12.75 x 10.88. So the width is correct but the height is over and should be 10.75.

I have uploaded a sample to dropbow: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27314354/sample.pdf 

Thanks for your help.
