Sorry I wasn't being clear. I meant reading PDFs already created by someone else with a certain paper size in mind, like a scientific paper. Basically, I am looking for something like a "reader view" mode for PDFs on smartphones.

Ask HN: Reading PDF Documents on Cell Phone?

Has anybody ever wished that they can open a PDF file on the phone and read it like a responsive webpage, with readable text size and reformatted paragraphs? Is there an app for that? Would anyone want to use it if such an app was developed?I come across this problem from time to time. All I do is rotate the phone and squint at the tiny text…
