I am using the Springer template svmono to write my professor's geometry textbook. After compiling in Texmaker, I received a pdf file with page size 21.587cm x 28cm.
I want to change it into 16cm x 24cm, so what and how can I do?

The template uses the KOMA documentclass scrartcl. You can switch to letter paper by replacing the first line with
\documentclass[letterpaper]{scrartcl}
You will probably have to play around with the layout as it is optimized for a4 pages.
You can do with the package pdfpages:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[landscape,a3paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={4,1,2,3},nup=2x2]{test.pdf}
\end{document}
Or even with the graphicx package if you want a custom layout:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[landscape,a3paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=0cm,bmargin=0cm,lmargin=0cm,rmargin=0cm}
\parindent=0pt
\begin{document}
\centering
\includegraphics[page=4,width=.5\paperwidth,height=.49\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{test.pdf}
\includegraphics[page=2,width=.5\paperwidth,height=.49\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{test.pdf}
\newpage
\includegraphics[page=1,width=.5\paperwidth,height=.49\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{test.pdf}
\includegraphics[page=3,width=.5\paperwidth,height=.49\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{test.pdf}
\end{document}
The test.tex file used for obtain test.pdf:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{A4-1} \lipsum[1-8]\newpage
\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{A4-2} \lipsum[1-8]\newpage
\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{A4-3} \lipsum[1-8]\newpage
\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{A4-4} \lipsum[1-8]\newpage
\end{document}

You set dimensions of your PDF page by
\pdfpagewidthand\pdfpageheight. However, with a standard parameters ofsvmono, text doesn't fit the page. An example of correction by setting\oddsidemarginand\evensidemarginis shown.
