Have you ever tried to read a pdf file on your phone? If so, then you understand what a nightmare one is when trying to read the text.
Η Adobe κυκλοφορεί στο Adobe Reader μια νέα λειτουργία με τεχνολογία AI που θα κάνει τα αρχεία PDF πολύ πιο ευανάγνωστα και ανταποκρίσιμα σε συσκευές Android και iOS. Με την ονομασία Liquid Mode, η νέα λειτουργεία αξιοποιεί το πλαίσιο AI της Adobe, το Sensei, για να κάνει τα PDF να ταιριάζουν στην screen without having to rotate and zoom them.
How will it work? When you open a PDF in Reader, Sensei will scan the file and locate places such as headings, paragraphs, images and tables. It will then resize the PDF to make it more dynamic and customizable.
According to Ashley Steele, Vice President of Adobe Digital Media:
“Liquid Mode creates a smart border, collapsible and expandable sections, and turns text searchable for quick navigation. Users can even adjust its size fonts and the space between words, characters and lines to suit their specific reading preferences'.
Not all changes are permanent, which means that the original PDF file will remain the same even after viewing.

It's worth noting that the feature is still in its early stages, so it won't work on every PDF. Whenever you open a PDF, Sensei will scan the file and turn on the Liquid Mode button at the top if the file is suitable for formatting.
“The more documents that go through Liquid mode, the more knowledge it will gain to expand it functionaland to improve its credibility".
Liquid Mode is currently only available for mobile, but the company plans to extend it to desktops in the future. However, the timetable for this is not clear.
While fans of EPUB (an ebook format that already has design-responsive features) need to rub their eyes, making PDFs more readable through Acrobat Reader is a change that many will welcome, especially given the format's popularity. .
