Printing from "preview" ...
There are some pdf documents that I print from "preview" application were the printed font is extremely small.
I have re-opend those documents ( they open in preview application ) and have done a on screen enlargement but still the printed document font is just the same.
What is the trick to make a print font larger?

Re: Printing from "preview" ...
Preview > Preferences > PDF
use scale of 100% and if you want bigger, you can either auto-scale or set for larger than 100%
or get adobe reader. I prefer Preview to Reader, but I have acrobat pro and it's the best.

Re: Printing from "preview" ...
First, see what percentage you have under Page Setup (command-shift-p or menubar > File > Page Setup). Try to set the paper to the right size and set print size to the right one.
If that fails, see what setup you have in Print dialog box (go to "Summary" from "Copies & Pages" drop down menu).
Or try to open Preview's Preferences and check/uncheck "Respect image DPI for Actual Size" (under Images tab).
1. Instill fear.
2. ???????? (use your imagination)
3. Profit!
