Imagine creating a document format so broken you need to build an artificial intelligence product to display it on smaller screens.
Its not broken, it’s just not designed to do this.
A pdf file is a program that outputs pages you can display or print. There are no more restrictions to the format.
That’s why without some artificial intelligence you can’t edit or reflow the contents.
Its not broken, its just abused. PDF is create for printing, its not great for anything smaller than an A4 page. Other formats exist which do that fine. If you use pdf for what it was made for its fine.
