> I’m trying to understand how big a problem it is to read PDFs on mobile. The "simulated sheet of paper" aspect of PDF's make them a pain on anything with a screen size smaller than needed to show the whole "pdf page" at a readable size to the user at once. On anything smaller one has to zoom and pan around. However, you can see for yourself. Assuming you have a smartphone/tablet, just install a PDF reader if it does not already have one [1], then start viewing various PDF's. > Personally I’d prefer viewing a responsive and accessible HTML version instead of having to pan and zoom the original pdf. I agree.
