[[File:Reflowable
A '''reflowable document''' is a type of [[electronic document]] that can adapt its [[presentation]] to the [[output device]]. Typical [[prepress]] or fixed page size output formats like [[PostScript]] or [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] are not reflowable during the actual printing process because the page is not resized. For [[end user]]s, the [[World Wide Web]] standard, [[HTML]] is a reflowable format<ref name=parc>{{Cite book|publisher=World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.|isbn=981-238-582-7|year=2003|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ubs2mwNlHnEC&pg=PA93|page=93|title=Web Document Analysis|editor-first1=Apostolos|editor-last1=Antonacopoulus|editor-first2=Jianying|editor-last2=Hu|first1=T.M.|last1=Breuel|first2=W.C.|last2=Janssen|first3=K.|last3=Popat|first4=H.S.|last4=Baired}}</ref> as is the case with any resizable [[electronic page]] format.

Besides HTML, commercially available systems include:
* [[EPUB]] is a simple reflowable format that allows a single column with [[inline image]]s, in many ways similar to a stripped-down HTML.<ref>{{Cite book|page=501|first=Pariah S.|last=Burke|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D1DEKszFm6gC&pg=PA501|title=Mastering InDesign CS5 for print design and production|year=2011|publisher=Wiley Publishing, Inc.|isbn=978-0-470-65098-1}}</ref>
* [[Windows Presentation Foundation]] (WPF) introduced [[XAML]]-based documents together with a viewer call "SinglePageViewer" that can reflow any WPF objects. However the [[Open XML Paper Specification|XPS]] document standard also introduced by Microsoft with WPF does not support reflow.<ref name=ms>{{Cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480192.aspx|
* Tagged [[PDF]] documents can contain an additional data layer that (among other things) allows content to reflow within the boundaries of one original page.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dlJ94KZqwqcC&pg=PA379|isbn=978-1-59059-638-8|title=Web accessibility : web standards and regulatory compliance|first=Michael R.|last=Burks|year=2006|page=379|publisher=Apress }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|
* [[FictionBook]] is a free reflowable format by design. It does not specify the appearance of a document; instead, it describes its structure. For example, there are special tags for epigraphs, verses and quotations.
* [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]]'s [[Kindle File Format]], but only in its newest version.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GULSQMHU5MNH4EZM|title=MOBI Support for Reflowable eBooks Frequently Asked Questions| publisher=Amazon| accessdate=2022-05-04}}</ref>
[[Xerox PARC]] has developed an experimental system that allows the reflow of any document using [[Optical character recognition|OCR]] layout analysis at word-level.<ref name=parc/>
