Give feedback for my idea
Often I have problems with reading pdf books and articles on mobile devices: fonts are small or sometimes text needs horizontal scrolling for reading. I want to create an app that will be crop and organize words on the screen for the width of my screen. What do you think about this idea?
Great idea, if you can pull it off.
This is also an issue on ebook readers. If I'm not mistaken then current versions of MS Word can actually do this and there it is called PDF Reflow.
Adobe and Foxit all claim to have this feature and I tried it in the past, but had troubles getting a satisfied result.
PDF Reflow it's what I need !!! It awesome, thanks.
Thank for feedback, initially, I thinking about a solution that doesn't recognize pdf and convert to text, it will be cutting out words and put them to screen again, modifying pdf or image to a format to more width-friendly format.
Or maybe better make an app for better recognize text from pdf?
It's a good idea, maybe a little bit hard to code... Especially because you have to test it in several different device sizes and pixel density.
The idea is good, if you can implement it with some quality.
Thank, I realized how hard to implement it will be. But I have some knowledge of image processing and ML. So, currently, my strategy is to split processing to small parts, such as border crop, make one column, find words and crop words, organize to screen width.
Hey, can you elaborate more on your idea?
I quite don't get it yet :)
Look to this page - https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/ This show what problem and how it solves. I found this page after I made this post.
Makes sense now, thanks for sharing
