How do you create the pdfs? There might be an alternate route for processing
your sources. For example, I often use tth to convert my latex files to html.
I haven't tried HeVeA, but I am about to.

Once you have the html you could easily link it to a style sheet dictating the
font properties.
However in most browsers you can scale the printed page in some sort of "page
setup" area. I am pretty sure that M$ Internet Explorer prints the text size
that the user selects. I know that firefox/iceweasel allows you to scale the
printout.
If not then the files could be opened in a word processor and the text size
easily increased.
Hope this helps.
