Hi,
With barely legible documents, especially if you've got any number of 
them, I'd suggest trying Digikam first.
It's much quicker than using Gimp and in most cases it will give you a 
very good or at least acceptable result.

I usually start with Digikam and resort to Gimp only if Digikam isn't 
good enough.

Digikam: Image =>Edit=>Color=>Auto-Correction; then try which of the 4 
options gives you the most legible result. You can do further tweaking 
on the autocorrected image.
