TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you open a PDF in Adobe Illustrator you will get a dialog where you specify a
resolution for opening the file. You can then save the PDF at the new setting.
Adobe also has an online PDF creation site where you can do the same thing.
However, interactivity (jumps, cross-references, etc.) will probably be lost.
