As you have found, the only way to change the font size is to create a new document.
Exactly. In fact, PDF is an extremely lousy format for ebooks. HTML is a lot better, and the ebook-formats are the best. PDF is unfortunately very necessary, since lots of content is available in PDF format and it easy to convert to.
