The PDF are sized to print on standard 8.27 x 11.69 inch paper (A4, 210 x 297mm)

If you use 8.5 x 11 inch paper (or another) for printing, this is not a problem. Select the option "Fit to paper" in the printing settings. In this

case, the Lines size will become a little smaller, but this is quite acceptable and then all the exercises will fit on a piece of paper. Different countries use different paper formats, but there is always a way out. The main thing is desire ;)
