Maybe even more smart then reflowing because it is taken into account during the the design process.

Yes, but that *is* epub or something like it, really, not pdf anymore. And the main point is that this would not work retroactively for all the pdfs we already have, which is a lot.

As I haven't read your previous posts on this have you created something that can delete the margins? Because if not you would still be stuck with the sliding to the right before you could turn the page. Which is tedious.

I wrote an experimental replacement pdf plugin that finds the margins by looking at the pixels of the rendered page, then rerenders with a zoom to get rid of them and make the font as big as possible, consistent with using a simple tap to go forward and back. This code cannot pan at all even if you want to, so it is only good for some pdfs. For some books, this even ends up with too big a font! But in some cases, it is a little too small as well.
