Resize for Print
Control the print size using AirPrint®
Description
Welcome to
Resize for Print
If you print for example images with your iOS device via AirPrint®, your pictures will be scaled to the full size/width of the paper. With Resize for Print you can now take control of the printed size of images, multi-page PDFs, Apple Notes and text files.
How To
By running the shortcut for the first time, you will have to answer two import questions. One about your paper size (US Letter or DIN A4) and one about the region your device uses to determine the spelling of numbers (1,234.56 or 1.234,56). That’s it.

Shortcut: Tap the shortcut and select one or multiple images from Photos or files from iCloud Drive.
Share Sheet: Select one or multiple images from Photos or files (images, PDFs, text) from iCloud Drive and open the shortcut via Share Sheet.
Next you select your favorite size: 100% (Full Paper Width), 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%
The images will be resized and a PDF file will be created. In the last step, you can print it with your AirPrint® supported printer.
Important: Don’t select too many hi-res images. This could crash the Shortcuts app.
No third party Updater Shortcut required.
Resize for Print has an integrated update mechanism called Embed-a-Update. Thanks to the embedded updater, Resize for Print does not require any external updater shortcut. The shortcut checks for updates itself, so you'll always be up to date and never miss an update.

Hi Tony,
Thanks so much for putting in all that effort and sharing the results. Your shortcut is simple, seems to work perfectly and most importantly, serves a real need.
You’ve also given me a way to possibly solve a similar problem I had preventing photos automatically scaling in iOS iMovie. If I can get that sorted, I’ll certainly share it (and acknowledge you!)
Regards
Paul

Thank you for this excellent shortcut that I had been using for quite a while. Unfortunately it has stopped working since I updated my phone to IOS 13.2. When I try to print, all I am shown is a blank page.

Hey! Thanks for liking and using my shortcut! And thanks also for pointing out the error to me. Well, I have now tested everything and done some research: There is a bug in iOS 13.2 ( https://tinyurl.com/yy5trfw8 ) that causes an empty PDF document to be created. There is currently no solution to the problem. Also, there is no other way to solve it. This really sucks, I know. But all we can do right now is be patient... :(

Kannst du bitte ein Prozent-System hinzufügen, dass man die Prozentzahl (1-100) eingeben kann. Das wäre sehr nützlich.

Hallo Jonathan (was ein toller Name)! Danke für dein Feedback. Nun, es ist eigentlich nur ein wenig Mathematik, die ich in diesem Shortcut anwende. Im Grunde ist die Größe M bspw. 50%. Ich schaue mir das aber noch einmal genauer an und überlege, wie ich den Shortcut optimieren kann. Ok? Kann aber noch ein bißchen dauern – hab grad so viele andere Baustellen. :)

Ohhh, vielen lieben Dank für die netten Worte. Das weiß ich wirklich sehr zu schätzen und freut mich sehr. Und Mühe gebe ich mir definitiv, ja – schön, dass man das sieht. :) Ach ja, so ganz nebenbei: Update ist raus! Hoffe, es entspricht mehr oder weniger deinen Vorstellungen…

Thanks for thinking to make a shortcut that takes care of such a pet peeve! Its the kind of feature that you would think usually flies under most people’s radar. I was looking for an easy way to uniformly reduce the size of shipping labels by 10% so they’d fit on cassette mailer boxes. HOWEVER, shipping labels are natively in landscape orientation in order to print on pre-cut label paper. But the orientation of a resized PDF is set to portrait, with no apparent way to set as landscape.
