Of course, if you OCR the scan and load it in a different form, then you can zoom in with reflow, but that's much more difficult and, unless you have very good OCR software, bound to produce other problems.

What I usually do is scan the document, and then preprocess it with software that will crop the margins and even cut the text up into screen sized chunks: PDFLRF is my usual tool of choice for scanned PDFs. Nearly always I can get it into readable shape, but some take more work than others.
