Walter Bright:
I've recently seen some academic research PDF's where the font is so small that even if I go full screen on them they are very hard to read.
Some combinations of PDF readers and PDF files support reflow, so later you can also increase the zoom. Another solution is to buy a wider screen, now even wide ones are kind of cheap.
I don't get the reason for doing this. Are they trying to save paper or something?
They are often trying to save paper. Some conferences (and sometimes even some journals) set a maximum limit of pages for submitted papers.
