Thanks Rich. I was able to find the bounding box (very near the top) and the page sizes on each page. Cutting all dimensions in half indeed shrunk the page, but the existing content didn't wrap, but instead was truncated. This was true even if I changed the page count. I was completely unable to locate the font. The word "font" wasn't in the file at all. Interestingly enough, I did the following vim command to locate all %%Begin and %%End: :g!/%%Begin\|%%End/d The result was the following basic structure: %%EndComments %%BeginProlog %%BeginResource: procset GS_pswrite_2_0_1001 %%EndResource %%EndProlog %%BeginPageSetup %%EndPageSetup %%BeginPageSetup %%EndPageSetup %%BeginPageSetup %%EndPageSetup Any idea how to change the font, and/or how to get the material to reformat to the new font and or page size?
