PDF Reflow2.6.3 - App Store

Reading PDFs on your phone shouldn’t feel like work.

PDF Reflow transforms PDFs and Word documents into a clean, phone-friendly reading experience. No more tiny text, constant pinching, horizontal scrolling, or multi-column pages that don’t fit your screen.

The latest version uses AI-powered page analysis to better understand each document’s layout, including text, graphics, figures, tables, and mathematical formulas. It then reorganizes the content into a natural vertical flow while preserving the document’s structure and visual context.

PDF Reflow is ideal for:

. Research papers
. Reports and manuals
. Articles
. Word documents
. Technical and scientific PDFs
. Documents with figures, tables, colors, and formulas

Features include:

. AI-powered page and layout analysis
. Comfortable, screen-width reading
. Text selection and highlighting
. Search within documents
. Adjustable text size up to 300%
. Automatic Table of Contents
. Dark mode for PDFs
. Built-in document picker

If you read PDFs on your phone and are tired of fighting the original page layout, PDF Reflow is made for you.
