If there's a science textbook like the one I linked to, or something else formatted for printing on letter paper with small print, how much can pdflrf really help? It would have to reflow the document, which is difficult enough with text alone. If the document has large figures with small print, it's impossible.

I mean, seriously, if there's a line of text that is 150 characters long, what can pdflrf really do?

I haven't tried it since I'm not running DOS, Windows, or Linux, but when I get some free time I may take a stab at porting it to the Mac.

As long as the PDF is not protected too much, pdflrf allows you to chop off the margins, it thickens the text. Basically it makes the PDF as readable as it can be on a 6" screen in either portrait or landscape. Lets you have running pages or convert pages one to one. I took a book from Wowio and was able to convert it so I was able to read it.
