    Hi.
    I'm sick of having to constantly scroll and zoom needlessly when reading some Acrobat Reader pdf files on my WM5 phone.

    Anyone know how to "reflow" the text in these pdf documents so it fits nicely to screen?

    Or do you have to do all the "reflowing" in the pdf document on a pc first before transferring the pdf file to the phone.
    That would be crap but i've a feeling there's no other way around this.
    Anyone?

    PDF format sets the text -- that's the whole point of pdf.

    So the text can't be "reflowed"? :(

    Strange because I'm sure I can remember reflowing/reformatting the text in pdfs before to make it more readable on my phone- just can't remember how exactly.

    Kinda like converting from pdf (pc) to pdf (pocketpc).
    Can you even do that do you know?
