Do you mean "reflow" (i.e. the reader reformats the lines with new line breaks)?
I don't know of any pdf readers that do that but some e-book readers do.

yep, that's what i'm searching for...
the adobe acrobat reader for pocketpc does this job perfect. i read some ebooks on a 320x240 pocket pc, it was acceptable with this feature.

it won't affect the original position of the words, but evince will read .pdf's and has a zoom to page width option.

hmm i had already tried evince. i think it would be much better than the original pdf reader, cause it's faster, scroll from page to page and has more zoom levels (very imporftant!!) but it seems buggy and crashes very often.
are there any alternatives or more stable versions?

I don't recall having any problems with evince. Slow sometimes, but that might have also been processor spikes from other apps in the background.

It would be really important a massive voting to this bug: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761
Perhaps, they add this functionality to the builtin pdf reader.

Hello, all!
What is current situation with this feature?
I have a lot of PDFs and it is not comfortable to scroll each time in zoomed text
How do you read complex PDFs?

Or, you can use Calibre (on a desktop computer) to convert those PDFs to epub format and then use FBreader on the tablet... set your font to whatever, maybe adjust the margins, it remembers where you left off on the book, can rotate the display (which, oddly enough, makes for easier reading), allows multiple books at the same time...
I just tried it with a text document, worked well enough. The magazine scan, not so good. So, if there's text to convert, then you can massage it into FBreader and it's great. If the source is a picture, rather than text, then it's a little more complicated, with OCR and the like.
While it doesn't quite answer your question, abandoning PDF will get you where you want.

is there any pdf reader supporting the "fit to screen" function like the browser. it should split the long rows to keep the text still fitting to the screen size...
thanks for your answers!
