Silver: Adobe Liquid Mode by Adobe
Liquid Mode is a revolutionary mobile reading experience. Powered by Adobe artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology, Liquid Mode automatically adjusts PDF layouts and adds user-adjustable controls – enabling anyone to easily read documents on smartphones and tablets.
Adobe Liquid Mode improves mobile PDF readability. Like reader modes on websites, Liquid Mode turns PDFs into a more readable format for smaller screens. It doesn’t change the PDF itself, but rather, it reformats headings, paragraphs, and images to create a better flow for mobile viewing. And if you’re creating one, you no longer need to rely on figuring out how to create a mobile-friendly PDF. Plus, it creates an outline with collapsible and expandable sections for you to easily navigate within larger documents.
Liquid Mode also makes mobile PDFs more responsive to your needs. You can search text within the document, expand its images, and — to make it even easier on the eyes — alter the font size and spacing between words to suit your reading preference.
