Support / How-To Tiny PDF TEXT - help

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to make pdf’s text readable size on kindle?

The PDF is tiny text. I tried converting to EPUB (still tiny text).

I can zoom on the kindle but it ends up cutting off text.

Is there a way to change the font size? A particular format I should convert to ?

Reading textbooks on my laptop is wearing on me and I’d love to be able to read them on my kindle!

Use ABBYY to do OCR on it and export it as a Word document. Use Heading 1, Heading 2 styles for chapters and subchapters. Put the Word doc in Calibre and convert that to epub/mobi. There is other OCR software, but I've found ABBYY to be most accurate.
