Thank you,

It sounds like the PDF you want to modify is not in vector form, which means it's in raster (bitmap/jpeg etc) form. That means you're stuck with photoshop/GIMP/Paint type applications. This tutorial assumes you've got a vector based PDF to work with.

For raster based images I use GIMP which has an excellent add-on called (if memory serves) HQ Upscale that can scale up an image with minimal loss of quality. In fact, the addon may be included in current releases of Gimp. I'm still using version 2.6 because I didn't like a bunch of the UI changes they made in 2.8.

Good luck,

Steve
