I began with this huge file:
8718146 2007-12-16 12:57 Livret-de-Famille-2x.pdf
Gimp reduced the size and resolution and I saved the file as a .ps
380821 2007-12-16 13:59 Livret-de-Famille-2x.ps
And then did ps2pdf which produced this which displays and prints a
legible copy.

Thanks for the assistance.
