Saving Resume as PDF shrinks text too much!

When I save my resume from a word file to a PDF, the PDF file is noticeably smaller, i.e., I have wider margins and the text looks 1-2 sizes smaller.

My resume has different font sizes all over the place, so I rather not mess around with resizing everything in word and then resaving it.

Does anyone know how I can convert my word doc to a pdf and NOT have any size changes in the text???

Thanks

Have you tried printing the document out to make sure that the changes are real and not just how it looks on the screen?
