Sometimes I generate a pdf file by merging pdf documents with different page sizes. It looks like NB2 uses the size of the first page to determine the size of all pages. This means that if the first page is small the second will be shown only partially (and zooming out just on the pdf is not implemented).

The problem could be fixed on the user side by means of a script that resizes all pages to the same width and crops the upper and lower white margins. Could this be done automatically by NB2?

Resizing pages seems a dangerous solution, as it might make some too small (or too large) to read easily.  We are using a standard conversion library (pdf.js).  We'll look into what it does when given documents with variable-size pages.
