Hi Peter If there are no restrictions/security on the pdf then you could select all the text and paste it into Pages or Appleworks. If it still faint in the word processor then try changing text colour. If the pdf has graphics that you want do a similar procedure. Merv Neil Houghton wrote:

Hi Peter, One thing you can do is to "save as" an image format and then use an image editor to adjust levels. As a check, I just opened a pdf in preview and then saved as a png. I could then open the png in both Graphic converter and iPhoto - both of which offered me options to set levels. I'm

Hi Peter, It still should have a "Draft Mode". See if you can Uncheck the [Draft Mode] checkbox on the [Detailed Settings] tab of the print driver. Cheers, Ronni On 03/03/2010, at 6:01 PM, Peter Curtis wrote: > > Hi > I've tried the scanner without results. I don't have Adobe Acrobat > Pro

Hi I've tried the scanner without results. I don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional as I wouldn't use it sufficiently. The printer is a laser and doesn't have draft mode. The original is very weak, that's the problem. It's not a major problem, just a problem. Regards Peter On 03/03/2010, at 5:39

Hi Peter, I don't know about the "eggheads". One way you could darken the PDF is if you've got a scanner, you can print the pdf, then scan it as black & white and it should darken it. If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional you should be able to adjust the print. Cheers, Cheers, Ronni 17" Mac

Hi I've a problem with a .pdf I'm printing. Unfortunately the writing is extremely faint and I cannot see any way of darkening it. I've looked at all the options I have with the printer (Fuji Xerox C525A) and can't see any way of darkening the print. Has anyone got any suggestions? Have I miss
