Here is my opinion about reflow feature. I tried to turn it on for the pdf contained Cyrillic text and seems that current implementation does not honor the words. It can break the work up and leave only 1 letter on one line and move the reset letters to another which makes it harder to read.

Thanks, we will improve it in later version.

I'm sorry, there is no nicer way to say it.

Foxit did a great job with the software for scaling and rotating PDF's on this device-- maybe they were hoping no one would ever actually need to use reflow. For whatever reason, it is not a production-quality feature in this initial firmware release.

First and foremost, it is stupid about the spaces between words. Wherever the PDF had a line break, the reflowed text is concatenated. This means a frequent incidence of two consecutive words mashed together likethis.

Second, though much less important by comparison, it would be nice if there was an option to view the reflow text in full-justified alignment.

Sorry for this. Please provide us a file for testing, indicating where the words are mashed.

Thanks.

Christina,

I'm happy to provide examples, but not clear on where you would like me to send them? support@?

I've seen the mashed together words - In addition, I've run into a number of files where reflow loses some text at the bottom of the page. It seems to happen on some files and not others...
