That value may be incorrect.  I gave instructions on how to determine 
dots per inch (dpi) by dividing the number of pixels by the appropriate 
inch range on your screen.  For instance:  I have two computers, a 
MacBook Pro which has a 16:9 screen size of 15" on the diagonal.  The 
actual screen size is 12 X 8 (approximately), my screen is set to 
1440x960.  So if I do the math, my dpi is 120.  However, my IBM A22p is 
also 15" but in 4:3 format so the actual dpi is 133.  So the number 
entered is different for the two systems.  I would accept 120 (0x78) as 
a good estimate and it is much better than 96 dpi (which would be true 
on a 15" monitor running 640x480 or 800x600 but not 1024x768.  This 
should eliminate the 'small fonts' problem and is what Windows actually 
does to make displayed fonts larger.

Acrobat may have reset the dpi setting, but I don't think that should 
happen.
