Bonjour
Je travaille sur des livres téléchargés depuis le site Gallica de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, et ces livres sont tous réalisés en PDF.
A l’impression, soit les caractères sont beaucoup trop petits,  soit si je change le réglage, trop grand et là, je perds du texte.
Y-a-t-il une solution pour grossir ces caractères d’une manière moins ... brutale ?

Hi,
I work on books which can be downloaded from the website Gallica de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France. These books are all in PDF format. When printed the characters are much too small, or, if I change the settings, too large, and then I lose text. Is there a way to make the characters bigger in a less brutal fashion?

From your description it sounds to me like you are not using PDFClerk to edit the PDF. Is that correct? PDFClerk does not change existing text, so it could not touch the characters. It can change margins and magnifications, but it is not clear to me that that is what you are doing. Could you please describe more precisely what you are currently doing, and what you would like to do in PDFClerk?

Je travaille avec PDFClerkPro. Mon problème c’est de pouvoir agrandir les caractères sans perdition de texte à l’impression…
Je télécharge des livres sur Gallica, la bibliothèque électronique de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France. J’ai besoin d’imprimer certaines des pages de ces livres, et soit les caractères sont trop petits, soit trop grands et je perds du texte…

Ok. Are you free to send me such a document, so that I can try to find a workable solution?

Aha, so were are not even talking about actual text, but about scanned pages, which you want to amplify.

There are two ways you can achieve the desired results:
1. Change the media box to fit more tightly around the text. Print based on the media box.
2. Change the crop box to fit more tightly around the text. Print based on the crop box.

Either way should work. With method 1 you need to take care to set the crop boxes of the pages to 0 after changing the media box size. Maybe I should make PDFClerk smarter about this, but currently it isn’t.

I’ll attach two PDFClerk documents, one demonstrating each technique.

Here’s the second attachment.

Let us know if anything about these files is still unclear.

Bonjour
Un grand merci pour votre aide. Je n’ai pas tout compris, parce que mon anglais technique n’est pas terrible. Mais le peu que j’ai compris m’a permis de “gamberger” et de trouver des directions. Finalement, j’ai enfin réussi à agrandir mes pages. Encore merci de votre aide.
