Cooking a local AI version of PDF Reflow to show PDFs on mobile and keep all the look and feel (font, formulas, pictures, tables) yet formatted for a smaller screen.

It’s using a local YOLO detector trained specifically on detection pdf page regions.

The old version works and has many users who love it to read scientific papers, but its heuristics based and was in my opinion failing on edge cases that this new AI approach solves.
