Can I stretch or expand an entire standalone document to fit the page?
If I create a standalone document, and it's approximately the shape of an A4 piece of paper, can I expand it to take up a full page; stretch it to fit the dimensions of the an A4 article? Just want to stretch to fit the whole thing without fiddling around with it if possible.
As I understand it, LaTeX PDFs are scalable like that, but I don't know if it's something the LaTeX will accomodate. I have other ways of achieving the goal, but I'd like to see if it's possible with LaTeX first.
I didn't originally intend to do more than a couple of little standalone graphics but over time I added to it. I don't want to have to go through restructuring and formatting, etc. because a) I finally have it (almost) exactly how I like it, except for this new scaling issue. And b) it will be considerably time consuming to do it now.

Well you can box the content and scale the box. The easiest way would to use adjustbox with width=210mm, height=297,keepaspectratio
