Also, I set up the document to the correct size and used 10-pt fonts to start with. On the Reader, when I up-size to "Medium" the text actually looks smaller ("Large" does get bigger). Have you had this problem?
OpenOffice does not allow you to change all metadata. As you remarked, it keeps your name, even if it's about Mark Twain's book. There are a number of small programs that can do that for you; BECYPDFMeta edit is one of them.

Works also for Linux using Wine.

I use a 12 pt font for good viewing resultats (Times New Roman). Of course, it also depends of your choice of font. For an epub, i also add an "interligne" of 120% (sorry English word missing here), which means about 22 lines in a page.
