Can one go by the file size? Scanned original size? Size of the text block? Resolution?
Neither file size, scanned original size, nor resolution in and of themselves say anything at all about whether a document will be readable on any particular screen size. I have not idea what text block size means.

The command line utility pdfinfo will give, among other things, the page size of a PDF file. That still doesn't tell you the margin sizes. But you can get those by opening the file on a computer.

The font size and your eyesight also matter.
