How can I reduce font size?

While viewing it in continuous scroll mode in Preview, can I reduce a PDF document's font size on Mac OS X without changing the page width? If yes, how?

  • The zoom changes the entire page width, but I am unable to just alter the font size (as you can do in most e-readers).

  • Answer:

    No, this is impossible with Preview. Also, I'm not aware of any Mac PDF reader that lets you do this. The font size is a fixed part of the PDF document, and so the PDF file needs to be altered in order to change the font size. OS X Preview does come with limited PDF editing capabilities (including annotation and highlighting), but changing the font size itself isn't possible. To change the font size you'd need to use a PDF editor or convert the PDF to a different format (such as Word or ePub, depending on your needs) first.
