A service that converts PDF research papers into a clean readable webpage.
Their example paper was a research paper with two columns and diagrams to show their service actually works well.
I searched a couple of times but couldn't find them again...

That was a hosted web service and it extracted the text and figures from the research paper but didn't maintain the structure. You could read it on a phone too.
I remember it didn't work on all research papers but was slowly expanding its database of supported papers. There was a place to paste the URL of a research paper to be processed.

If your document structure is p simple it might be fine but I wouldn't bother for anything else.
