I can understand why mf might want to see the document in its "native" format and in Skim--Skim's multiple find is very useful and if you're used to working with a large document in a particular form, change is inconvenient even if you can get all the paragraph numbering and separations so that they're easily visible. As an alternative, how about the following? I did it in Preview, but it would probably also work in Skim if you used Page Setup and then Print. 1. In Preview, display the document and choose Print. 2. From the Paper Size popup, choose Manage Custom Sizes and define a new big paper size that's the same aspect ratio as 8.5x11 (or whatever your document is) and corresponds to the amount of enlargement you want. I chose 17x22 inches to double the size of the paper. Name the new custom paper and choose OK. 3. Back in the Print dialog make sure your new paper size is chosen, leave the scaling at 100%, and click the "Scale each page to fit paper" option toward the bottom right. 4. Under PDF choose Save as PDF... When you open this new document in Skim, it should be scaled up compared to the original, including the text. If the page size isn't problematic you should be good to go.
