Rethinking PDF reading for Apple Vision Pro.

PDFs preserve the original layout. On Apple Vision Pro, that can mean tiny type, dense columns, headers, and constant zooming.

Clear Page reflows the text into one column, remembers your position, and retains the original page when illustrations or layout matter.

The interface rests as a small page coordinate above the text. One pinch expands that same glass object into Library, Contents, and Format.

A page tap only quiets the controls. It never summons them. Turning the page folds them away because turning means the reader has returned to the book.

PDF layout and font information help the app identify headings, paragraphs, centered text, and emphasis. Scanned pages use on-device text recognition and must pass a confidence check.

When the app cannot read a document reliably, it refuses instead of guessing. View original page opens the retained source page, and Back to reading returns to the same passage.

Hardware exposed parallax clipping near window edges, depth relationships that collapsed into one plane, a pace control whose direction felt reversed, and ligatures that split words during reflow.

The first-launch card moved farther forward, the page hushed beneath it, and each relationship was tested again on the headset.

A dictionary, image study views, a multi-step tour, a settings page, and unsolicited motion all reached working prototypes. None earned its place in the reading loop.

The shipped opening is one page, one material card, and one action: Start reading.
