Sounds good...

In which case, I wouldn't even bother :(. Such documents are
wonderful indeed for print, but pretty much "suck rocks through a garden
hose" for screen viewing as they are larger, view poorly on screen (due to
anti-aliasing and lack of font hinting), and can't be searched!
I would suggest going back to your original authoring environment
(Word? Quark?) and regenerating a PDF using the source material and
creating it with REAL text and with screen based settings.
