Okay... time for an ignorant newbie question.

Does this program actually help fit PDFs to the Reader screen?
I downloaded this file as a test:
http://www.targeting-the-kinome.org/images/Gasser2.pdf
I converted the first three pages.
What I saw was an exact replica of the PDF. So why convert in the first place? I was hoping that this program would extract the text and make it easier to read on the Reader screen. Am I missing something? Can you state the font size when converting?

Sorry to be such a newb, but can someone explain to me the benefits of this program? Is it just a matter of adjusting contrast?

Thanks.
