What is needed, I think is: fonts are too thin. PDF fonts need to drawn bolder. Reader should be able to autocrop edges, or enable the user to zoom in.
PDFRasterfarian takes a lot of processing power - it would be way too slow to run on the Reader's low-power, slow, CPU. Also - and please correct me if I'm wrong - but doesn't it need a certain amount of "manual" tweaking to give good results with a given PDF file? Could it be used as an automated tool which would work well on all PDF files?
