But tricky. In order to know how many characters will fit on a line, the font metrics for the fonts would be required. And ... it would work only if the font name used in the PDF file is the same on the client system ... and these are internal font names, not the ones users typically see. Or ... if the font was embedded, which is another kettle of fish.
A better approach would be, I think, to select from a few standard formats. The pages shown are too crowded for my taste: I want more line spacing (or, alternatively) shorter lines. Books for young children would also need larger type, shorter lines and very generous spacing.
I'm beginning to get rather worried about the apparent lack of contrast in the photos: darkish grey 'print' on less darkish grey 'paper' is not particularly useful for reading: older eyes will get tired rather fast.
