Could you actually read it at that text size though? Yes, I could print it like that too but it would be of little use.
I could (I tested it), but I accept that doesn't mean everyone else would be able to. I was just checking you weren't having a problem scaling to fit or similar.
As I typed this email, the postman delivered a Viking Direct mini-catalogue. As I still have the RM printout on my desk I compared font sizes between the scaled-down printout and the "full-size" catalogue and they're broadly similar sizes (except the small print on the RM one, which is very, er, small!)
[I printed to a laser printer, which despite being old, clunky, and giving pretty awful quality generally, probably does do quite a good job of giving decent definition on the reduced font. I haven't tried to an inkjet which may not be as readable.]
Returning to the original question though, I just tried: convert -density 300 Royal_Mail_Our_Prices.pdf rm.jpeg .. which gave me the two pages from the PDF as rm-0.jpeg and rm-1.jpeg, either of which I could then crop to suit printing. (Experiment with the density (in dpi) to get the best results - 300dpi is probably higher than necessary.)
