I guess those in particular might be tricky, sure, at least if you needed to see the entire table at once. Depending on how the table was presented in the original PDF (e.g., whether it was rotated to match the other pages, or just had different dimensions), and what options you picked, from something like SoPDF you'd either have it compressed as best as possible to fit on the reader landscape, or have half of it on one page and half on another (split left/right). But would that really be so bad? As mentioned, it would be like reading a very small font size -- I don't mind if it so much if the tables have smaller print, since I don't spend time "reading" the table; I just refer to it as needed, and retrieving one piece of information with a small font table isn't so bad.

But I'm not really trying to talk anyone into anything. Lots of people prefer paper, and that's understandable.
