It uses graphical reflow a la k2pdfopt only on pdf scans without ocr layer in the background.

It is very fast on iPad 4 and it almost instantly changes size of letters (about 8 possible levels) and distance between sentences(three levels).

For pdf scans with ocr layer in the background it is similar as for textual pdfs, Duokan reflows and shows ocr layer (pictures lost).
