PDFs Not Fully Visible

[TrishaMeyer1]

I tried searching for a similar topic and didn't find one. When PDF files are uploaded to Canvas, sometimes they are so large the whole file can't be viewed in the Assignment (or Page or whatever). Students need to scroll left to right to see all the text, which obviously is not ideal. I'm assuming there is something that needs to be changed on the source file, but I'm not sure what. How can I ensure that PDF files will display correctly as 8.5 x 11 pages and not giant pages?

When I download a Google Doc as a PDF and then upload it, it works. The problem is with files that are downloaded from other sites or are scanned.

I used the print preview on the PDF file itself to change the settings to "Fit" and then used "Save to a PDF" to resolve this issue.
