Could you explain - because I still don't really understand this - how you
expect a document that starts off as an A4 one, to retain its layout, but
fit into a smaller screen size? Surely the layout has to change?
Eg multi-column text become one long skinny column, pictures get shrunk and
placed in different positions, etc?

Which contradicts what they claim on their sales pages, and isn't what their
"More info" page suggests with its various pics of more complicated document
layouts.
So what did they say when you sent them a sample PDF and explained how the
results are not accurate? Do they think it's fixable?
