Why is page information so small?

Does anyone know how (or if) you can adjust the font sizing of the page information, it currently exports at 6pt Helvetica. Ideally I would like to be able to read this without a magnifying glass!

Don’t enable page information at all on output. Instead use variable text for (doc name, output time, and page numbers) in slug area, the size you want and include the slug area in your output. 

Make it big and bold, even in color! 🙂

Great idea but don’t think that’s a long term solution. If Adobe would let adjust the font size in your output preferences though . . .
