I woud like to change the font size of the picture inserted by \includegraphics.. have used the scaling 1 and the picture occupies my space, but the font in the picture is very small. How can I change the font size on that picture. scaling it more bigger is not the option. Here is the code:

\begin {figure} [!htb]
\includegraphics[scale=0.95]{pics/Cascaded_control.pdf}
\caption {Cascaded servo control[Len2]}
\label{cascaded}
\end {figure}

You can't. It's a picture and \includegraphics doesn't touch it. It just dumps it into the document unchanged (possibly scaled). – kahen Feb 17 at 0:11
While @kahen is most certainly right that you can’t edit a PDF from TeX, you could edit with one of many available PDF editors. I have seen at least the possibility to change the font size. Though, depending on the source this may not even work (right). – Qrrbrbirlbel Feb 17 at 1:02

This is one of the main reasons that a lot of folks go out of their way to use Tikz and PSTricks; it provides consistency in the document. I appreciate it can't be done for every type of picture/image, but when it is possible, it's a good idea :) – cmhughes Feb 17 at 2:02
