Question

what version of acrobat do i need to print a pdf in a larger font

I have a pdf that uses a very small font, almost unreadable when I print it. I see a post in the community that states that you can't make the font larger in the free version of acrobat. Is there a pay-for version that will do that?

Thanks.

Perhaps, but it depends on how to PDF was made, as well well as how the PDF was laid out. Can you post a screenshot of it so we can better direct you?

See image below. The personal information is fictitious. I've also uploaded a message that pops up when I open the pdf. I don't know whether that might be relvant to this issue. Is it possible to upload the pdf itself? That would enable someone (you?) to try printing it. If you think that might be helpful, but it's not possible to upload it directly, I can put on google drive and post the link..

In the print dialog you can scale the printout.


Bernd, thanks for your reply.

I tried increasing the scale to 110% and it did increase the font to a quite readable size; however, it lost part of the page. I notice that in the print dialog it shows size as 5" x 7". So, i guess it's going to print a maximun of that, even though the paper size is shown as 8.5 x 11.
