URGENT tech help needed.

[deathpixie]

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.

Acrobat or Reader?

Cut and paste into Microsoft Word, increase the font size? It won't be pretty, but unless you have Acrobat Writer, you can't change the font size in the PDF.

Do your printer settings allow you to change the magnification of the document? That would be my best guess.

If you can find someone with a semi-recent copy of OCR software (like Omnipage), that will harvest content from the PDF in tabular form.

*How* quickly do you need this? I've got what's needed - but I'm also under deadline crunch. I don't think my boss would approve of that kind of delay in my workload - no matter how cute the lady is that I'm helping out ;-)

Email it to Gmail and open it in HTML? It may turn into word salad this time too, but it might be worth a shot?
