The current PDF renderer provides two types of output it can render a regular PDF and a Mobile Version of PDF which is much easier to read on mobile devices.
For comparison - https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/pdf/1980_World_Snooker_Championship vs https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/pdf/1980_World_Snooker_Championship/a4/mobile
This ticket refers to the Book generator which does not allow printing PDFs any more. We allow only rendering a single article, and on the Special:DownloadAsPDF page we have a "Download" button.
We could allow (add a second option) downloading the mobile version of PDF on a desktop. There wouldn't be a way to change the font size to specific value, just "regular font" and "big font".
