Re: Reflow persona "What's New WCAG 2.1"

Hi,

I'm confused.

Reflow has been available in Adobe Reader en Acrobat for a very long time:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/reading-pdfs-reflow-accessibility-features.html#reflow_a_pdf <https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/reading-pdfs-reflow-accessibility-features.html#reflow_a_pdf> 

Or does the table you point to have a different understanding of "reflow"? 

Kind regards,

Gijs
