After searching around unsuccessfully, I suspect this is not possible in Acrobat, but I want to make sure before I give up.
I have a pdf file with internal hyperlinks: you click on one, and it takes you to another part of the document. I would like to save this original.pdf so to another scaled new.pdf, say at 120% of the original file's size, making the fonts larger and the margins smaller, while also preserving the hyperlinks. If I open new.pdf in any reader (not just Acrobat), it should be properly scaled.
Scaling is available in the print dialogue, but I don't want to print or print to a pdf, as it breaks the internal links.
Is there any way in Acrobat to save a pdf as another scaled pdf, without printing? Thanks.

Scaling pages in a PDF is indeed tricky. It can be done using a plugin or a script, like this one I've created (it will also scale any form fields, links or comments in the file, to match the new size): Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Scale PDF Pages

Thanks for your reply. I hope to find a solution without buying another plug-in, but we'll see.

Possible with the Preflight Tool of Adobe Acrobat DC Pro.

Thanks. I am using Acrobat XI. Acrobat XI has preflight, but no scaling options.
I also have Acrobat DC, which apparently has a scaling option under preflight. But DC always crashes after a minute or so on my Mac OSX 10.11.1, and I have not found the solution yet.
