Question How to turn Multi-column page into single-column?

Hello. I oftenly find articles or texts written in this way:
Spoiler:


Is there any way that I can make this single-column in order to read as ebook? Because if I directly convert this into epub the reading order goes wrong. Any idea?

It's a huge amount of work. There is a utility that sometimes works:

Otherwise it's either OCR or copy/paste into a wordprocessor and eventually convert a docx to epub with calibre.

The only simple solution is a bigger screen.

Ironic an article on mining text is in the worst format after paper, the PDF. Because a PDF is really only meant as print preview or to be printed or sent to POD service.
