URGENT tech help needed.

I have a .pdf document that's needed to be printed, but the problem is the original text is so tiny, you can only see it clearly when you zoom to 200% and the printout is illegible. Short of transferring by hand into an Excel spreadsheet (please say no, since that's going to take forever), is there any way I can manipulate 11 pages of document so you can read the bloody thing?

We need it very urgently, so if you're online and have an idea, let's hear 'em. Also, our copy of Adobe is version 6, I believe, so I'm short a lot of the usual editing stuffies.

With Acrobat, yes. With Acrobat Reader, which she likely has, no. Acrobat Reader is free, Acrobat costs hundreds of dollars.

If it's a table, then the only option is to cut stuff out of the table, paste into another program (word or excel), increase font size, and print as a new document.

Badly-designed PDF, sounds like.
