I've designed a book in Indesign. I'd like to scale it up just a tad. Fonts are 11pts...more readable at 12pts or so...I'm not wanting to do an entire new layout. If not in indesign what about in Acrobat pro? It's a 6 x 9 book...so end output should be a little bit larger. say a 1/4 inch all the way around. Any advice...much appreciated. -1181

You can make a new document and place the original InDesign document in it and scale the pages to fit. This has to be done manually, but then you have a direct link to your source, in case you have to change something.

A bit quicker option is to export the book to PDF, at print quality but without downsampling image resolutions. Then, in InDesign go to View > Utilities > Scripts > Application > Samples > JavaScript > PlaceMultiplePDFs.jsx to place the pages automatically. They still need to be scaled manually. Just remember to overwrite the PDF and update the links in case you make any changes in the original document.
