First of all, this is wrong mailing list to ask questions about PDF<br>
generated by one of TeX engines, use texhax ML next time please.<br>
<br>
As for you problem, I assume that you have LaTeX document, take a look<br>
on this small examples<br>
<br>
<example file="ex-1.ltx"><br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
<br>
\input{knuth}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br>
</example><br>
<br>
This example document uses standard font, Computer Modern at 10pt. To<br>
choose another font size use class option:<br>
<br>
<example file="ex-2.ltx"><br>
\documentclass[12pt]{article}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
<br>
\input{knuth}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br>
</example><br>
<br>
There are only three available font size options: 10pt, 11pt and 12pt.<br>
<br>
If for some reason you need larger font size use predefined font-size<br>
commands, for example<br>
<br>
<example file="ex-3.ltx"><br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
<br>
\large<br>
<br>
\input{knuth}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br>
</example><br>
<br>
If you need more examples to compare font sizes run command<br>
<br>
texdoc lshort<br>
<br>
which will open PDF viewer with "The Not So Short Introduction to<br>
LaTeX2e" manual (I have one of ver. 5.01) and read Chapter 6, Section<br>
6.2 "Fonts and Sizes".<br>
