Quick pdf question

Hey guys and gals,

Does anyone know of an easy way to find out what font/text size is being used in a pdf?

Apologies for my astonishing lack of technical knowledge, I'm working on it

    To do that you can try to convert the PDF to a Word document:

    I hope it helps.

    if you are using adobe reader you can see what fonts are used in the pdf by going to:
    file-> properties (or ctr-d in windows) and clicking the fonts tab.

    This lists the fonts used in the document but not the sizes.

    If you open the PDF in Foxit Reader (you can get it here free of charge: Foxit Software - Foxit Reader 3.0 for Windows) you can select Tools on the toolbar and then click on Text Viewer. That will change the page to text (surprisingly enough) which you can copy and paste into Word or Open Office. At that point you will be able to see the font type and size.
