It starts by saying that PostScript and PDF are not reflowable, but then describes how PDF can be made reflowable. PostScript files can also potentially be reflowable; PostScript is a full programming language, so a PostScript program could check the page width and use that to decide where to break lines (although if a PDF file is made from it, the PDF won't be reflowable unless you can somehow use pdfmarks to define the data for reflowing the output). --Zzo38 (talk) 18:46, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
