Feature request: option to view only text of PDF

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think it'd be great to have a feature to view only the text of a PDF file.  
Wrapping, formatting, etc, would be even better.  Some Android devices (like 
mine) don't have very big screens, and it's kind of a pain to have to first 
zoom in enough to be able to see the text, then to have to pan left-to-right 
and then down just to be able to read the file.

The code here may or may not help (it's for an app which is supposed to do just 
this, but doesn't work for me and apparently for many others):

Thanks.

Text re-flow is a feature that I miss very much, but it doesn't need to display 
only the text.

I think the text re-flow mode could also have the option to display the images 
in between. For example, for a book with an occasional illustration.

Probably, it is duplicate issue 139
