Challenged Vision - how 2 print zoom+ text?

Post by Truthiness »

Hi, when reading a .pdf document, will it ever be possible to print text that has been enlarged with the zoom+ feature? I resort to enlarging most text I read on screen due to weakening sight. Am I right in thinking printing the enlarged format is not an option? By now much print material is inaccessible, as the size is too small.

Perhaps the question belies ignorance of basic computer/software technology, so in advance, apologies! Thanks to anyone kind enough to advise.

You can use the Print Scale option on the Print Dialogue to enlarge all printouts, but unless you have a large format printer (A3) that won't help if most documents are A4. If you had an A3 printer you could scale all prints up by 170%.

Failing eyesight is the reason that I prefer to read PDF files on screen, then you can zoom in as much as you need to.
