For the pan, it could be a simple menu option to disable horizontal scrolling(for the current orientation) and keeping the current zoom or any new zoom level.
The zoom should keep between loads of the same pdf file, but there is some intermittent bug that is causing it to change zoom levels when loading a document. I think somehow the bookmarks database is getting corrupted.

No disrespect, but I think a menu option to disable horizontal scrolling would be a kludgy solution. It would requires several three taps to toggle, since it would have to go in the "More" section of the menu. (I'm trained by the PalmOS development guidelines: for commonly used features, like this one would be, one must minimize the number of taps.)

Here's a thought: have a menu option to lock to vertical scrolling, but include have a temporary horizontal scroll unlock. The temporary unlock is triggered by moving horizontally about 1/8 of the screen width and is active until the user releases the finger/stylus. Maybe a tiny fading message could show up, too. How does that sound? The big advantage is that you could keep this feature always active, even when setting up the positioning of a new document.

Any other creative solutions?

I tried recreating the Force close. I couldnt find the orginal pdf that caused this.
But I use a Mac and this creates a lot of Dot prefixed empty .pdf files when i copy to the usb mount drive. The reader crashed when by mistake i opened this file. Am not sure if this caused the issue initially too. I will keep looking to find a more valid pdf.
A well-written app shouldn't crash when fed an invalid external file. Are these empty .pdf zero-length, or do they have some content? If they have some content, please send me one.
