So, to get same amount of text, I have to change font size from 14 to 10.

On the Reader they both (5.24"x6.69"/14 and 3.543"x4.606"/10) look pretty much the same.

it means that if 90/Scale=600 Pix then Scale=0.15
so 117/Scale=Height=117/0.15=780 Pix

the best Image size for the screen is ( 600 x 780 )Pix

Note: the screen aspect ratio(without the status bar) is the same of a Letter Page.

It seems Adobe's Text Touchup Tool is not really suited to global changes akin to changing the font size in an entire document.

Am I missing something? Is there no way to make the Reader and PDFs work well together? I realize that if I'm creating my own PDFs, I can set the font size before creating the PDF. But if I receive an unencrypted PDF, is there a way to change the font size without working line by line or paragrah by paragraph?

I'm desperate! Thanks for any and all assistance.

There are two things I do when adapting a PDF, depending on the presence of images. If there are none, I save it as a .DOC, edit it and print it as a PDF.

If there are images, I save it as .DOC and as .HTML. I edit the DOC and use the images from the HTML file.

The DOC I create has a 9x11,7 cm size. I use 13 pts font, but that is up to you. Edit the doc (margins, fonts...) to your personal likings.

As for the images, I edit them so they are 166 dpi and have either a maximum height of 11 cm or width of 8, whichever is more restrictive.

I ensemble it all together and print it as a PDf. Voila...
