I think
your best bet is to use some PDF post-processing tool to scale down the PDF
produced by FOP. That way you are sure that both versions will look
absolutely the same, so it will be easier to, e.g., refer back to the
normal version after a first reading with the small one.
Your PDF
viewer should allow you to ‘print’ the file into another PDF file with a
different scale. You can also use Ghostscript (taken from the ps2pdf
command and adapted): gs -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -sPAPERSIZE=halfletter
-dPDFFitPage -sOutputFile=small.pdf
normal.pdf
