There are various zoom modes that can be used for such a document (which is a mixture of one and two column formats). I use the AdobeViewer app rather than the pdfviewer app because I find the former does a better job of technical papers (i.e. with diagrams, equations, code snippets,...). In "Fit Width" and portrait mode, each entire page is readable, but the characters are rendered a bit thinly. Some of the words in Figure 1 are hard to read because they are coloured and translated to faint grey shades. The words are more readable if the reader is flipped over to landscape mode. I find the drawings to be clear in either portrait or landscape mode. In landscape mode, though, you can't see the top of the tall diagram on page 5 at the same time as the caption at the bottom of the figure.

For the pages laid out purely in two columns, the "two column" zoom mode works very well in portrait mode. It works in landscape mode, too, but the text gets pretty big. The panning is nice, in that it starts down the first column and jumps up directly to the top of the second using the same "Down" control button.

Reflow is useless for these types of documents, it seems to only be good for pure text documents. Figures are not shown, and captions, equations and code snippets are horribly botched. The other zoom modes work well enough on the large screen that I probably wouldn't use reflow anyway, even if it worked better.


I'm appending some screenshots I made with the note-taking feature. If anyone's interested, I found them under the system/config/Active Contents/mnt/ext2/ file hierarchy. The pictures only have 4 colours each, which seems strange, but might be due to the note-taking software.
