HI

I'm facing a problem while reading PDF document in reader.

Problem Description:

Since I'm having 10" laptop, while reading e book i would like to increase font size of pdf document instead of Zoom in. Because if i "zoom in", i have to scroll horizontally to read each line.

to achieve this, I tried the option "Advanced Editing -> TouchUp Object". By this tool, if increase font text of selected text, these are getting overlapped without increasing page number of pdf files.

i tried to change "page setup". i could able to change only for newly creating document via " New Document" tool bar. But not for existing pdf document.

MY Wish:

while I increase the font size of a PDF document, it has to increase size of font without giving horizontal scroll bar. But it might increase no of pages if need like MS Word.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 8.1, Windows

Acrobat is not a text editor. This kind of editing needs to be done on the original document that was used to create the PDF.

You could try "reflow" (Ctrl+4 in Windows).

Reflow is reliant upon having a tagged PDF.
If your PDF is not a tagged output PDF then Adobe Reader / Acrobat will do a "best estimate" tagging.
For PDF that is well formed, tagged PDF (reflecting well formed content from an authoring application having tag management) then reflow works rather well indeed.
