PDF Reflow

Pretty nice app but a reader without bookmarks is a pretty grave omission.

I’m a heavy academic researcher. I process 2,000 papers for CVPR each year, so I see a lot of PDF files. This app is great! It isn’t perfect - no app that does this can be — but it gets darn close. Figures are somehow segmented and presented separately, and it even works with two-column PDFs emitted by LaTeX! Well worth the asking price. There are some issues. In particular, papers under review tend to have line numbers on the margins of each line, which are sometimes relieved with the text in a way that’s hard to read. Still, I personally believe this domain isn’t really possible to self completely, and this app gets darn close

Needs a way to set bookmarks, so I can come back to my location later in long PDFs.

The app reflows text in a great way which makes it very easy to read journal publications that are hard to read in their two-column format with tiny text. However, The app deletes PDFs from where they are stored, which is an unxpected and unwanted behavior. It was difficult to recover them, and I never want this to happen. Can you make the app so it does delete my files?

Good idea Poorly executed. The reflow does not work with many scientific pdfs, you just end up scrolling horizontally. It doesn’t work well with the images as it crops them and you lose content. You cannot highlight the pdf. As is, the app is not worth it. The developer needs to put more effort to develop the app. I was expecting to see some deep learning for the app to “smartly” recognize the pdf structure, the app is not anywhere close to “smart”.

Initially a 5 stars because this is soooo useful, but then realized that it is far from usable because it doesn’t remember the pdf you were reading, or where you were in the doc. It’s exhausting to reopen the pdf and wait for the processing to work and then find the page you were on every time you want to read something. I can do without highlighting but this is tablestake

I’m so impressed with this app! It’s well designed and very dependable! Please keep up the great work!

This is really an amazing app. I really wonder why it is not more popular. As a PhD student, I have been looking for an app that would allow me to read research papers in split view and mobile. As most of the paper I read have lots of math, I was never satisfied with all other readers with reflow ability as they cannot successfully reflow math expressions. This one can! It is the best reflow app I used, not only on mobile but also on my Mac. I highly recommend it! Only issue I have sometimes is that the AI adds an unnecessary linebreak inside a sentence, thinking that a new paragraph has started (and sometimes does the opposite). It is really a minor issue, but if that could also be fixed the app would become perfect. Edit: Nice to see the app getting updates. I am wondering if there are any plans to add an option to export the text. It would be amazing to be able use this app to convert pdfs to epub or other formats. It already performs much better than any other converter I used, especially for text with math and figures.

1/2 Dozen or the other. This doesn’t help make it easier to read a pdf document on mobile device.

The app has no contents or bookmarks option and also does not remember last read page and also cashes a lot. These two features would make it much better other than that it’s ok.
