    Split and Enlarge, pdf files?

    Is it possible to split a page in a pdf file and make it its own page while enlarging the text? If so, how do I do it? I printed off this pdf file but the text is quite small as it seems like the author tried to jam in as many words as he/she could onto one page. I want to take, for example, half the text from one page, put it onto a separate page, and enlarge both texts to fit on the page with reasonable sizing. Thanks

    There are several ways I can think of. It may depend on what software you already have, and what else is part of the .pdf file. One easy way would be to copy the text into Word or Wordpad, format it the way you want, then make a .pdf file out of it using a free .pdf creator.

    One reason for using PDF is to create the virtual equivalent of a hard copy document. The author determines content and format. Like a real world book, it can't be changed.

    Of course, it can be changed but, if the author used all the security features, changes aren't easy and a discussion of the methods would violate this forum's AUP.

    Acrobat won't let you copy text. That's mainly why it's a reader.
