MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - An algorithm to render PDF in small devices

Very nice idea, indeed!

I may try this out in PDFRead, as an alternative for smaller screen devices like the EBW1150. Hopefully I can just 'call' your executable from within PDFRead and avoid having to recode your efforts in python.

I remember that the original developer of PDFRead was going to allow some type of reflow of pdf documents, but never released his efforts.

One question though:

Is the split at half the page width "fixed" or can it be changed to a user inputted amount, like one-third or 25%?
