However, depending on how the PDF file was created, i.e. (whether it
holds the actual text or whether it is just somebody's wrapper for a
collection of fuzzy JPEGS) it might be possible to get the page output
at a much higher resolution - you can fake this in !PDF by zooming the
view to, say, 400% and then using the Save as Sprite option. It still
won't be in monochrome, so you will have to tick the monochrome 2-colour
option in ChangeFSI and resave as a Mode 25 sprite.
Sleuth may then be able to read it.

Be tolerant of mistakes. There are very few errors that are so important
that they cannot be ignored if you try hard enough.
