I am interested in the speed of zoom/pan function in PDF.
Is there no new power management in V2.7? Last edited by segatang; 09-12-2006 at 04:53 AM. |

PDF is a page layout format. Zoom will only make the page larger - the whole page, not just the text. So you will have to scroll right/left to see everything. And with the slowness of the eInk screens, this will be painful. |

That makes manual pre-cropping unnecessary, plus allows to zoom into single columns of a multi-column layout. |

What they are offering is "Zoom and Pan". Meaning that you zoom in and then can scroll to center what you want to read. Based on the PDFs that I've seen, the odds that what you want to read will be outside the iLiad screen are high. |

Panning should work by dragging the pen on the screen aswell. |

I think I'd be perfectly okay with landscape then zoom to width. That would make A4 usable.

I agree, browsing a4 in 2 parts would be.. hmm annoying but it would work

But if you dont find that useful, what would you see as useful for panning across a page? |
