Does anyone produced a pdf reader that automatically converts and displays pdf text in a font that is easily readable on a computer screen?

Most pdf documents have text that displays poorly when viewed on a computer monitor, since the pdf format was designed primarily for printing rather than viewing on a screen. Even when displayed at 100%, pdf text can vary from ok to very fuzzy, depending on the document font.
