Doesn't the Zoom tool do that ?
Of course if you want to resize *only*
the text, then it wouldn't be "exactly"
the same design -- so if that's what you
mean, the answer would be -- no, that's
illogical and impossible.

Putting text in graphic format, by the way,
is fundamental to the PDF model. It is the
only known way of ensuring visual integrity 
across platforms, which is the PDF's reason for 
existing.
