Definitely not a big and complex process. But not as precise or feature-rich as the others, and is a Java app that doesn't have the correct digital signature, so there's some trust involved in using it (the author seems legit, made his own tool to solve this problem).
It basically breaks each page of the original PDF into halves (or thirds, or ...) So your 50 pages of small print is now 100 pages (or 150, or ...) of larger print. You can crop margins, too.
Easy as pie:
- Start Java web app.
- Open file. It'll stack the whole document in one view so you know where to crop.
- Drag a box around the first part of the page, like the top half if you're halving.
- Copy-paste that box (this one's labeled "2" for ordering the new pages) and drag to the lower half. If your boxes aren't the right size, then delete the second box and drag the edge of box 1 up or down as needed, and repeat.
- Save file.
