In the stock browser, double tapping the first time zooms in, though the second time it zooms back out. I thought you wanted double-tap to zoom out to full-width the first time. I may have misunderstood your suggestion.

I'm not so much asking for a feature that "returning to the previous zoom" but really zoom to crop the margins. I just mentioned the "retuning" because that is the standard behavior.
Margin cropping would be nice. I'll see if I can figure out how to do it. If I figure it out, it should replace the current zoom-to-width functionality.

One question: Often there are headers and footers and other markings in the margins. On the PDF viewers that do crop margins, do they crop away these marginal markings too?

Last comment is it would be a BIG BOON for this app is to add pinch to zoom support. It's very hard to read PDFs without it.
Pinch to zoom is not so easy to implement, and I have no device I can test it on. Maybe another one of the APV developers can do it, but I expect it's a finicky feature that is hard to get exactly right without actually having a device you can test it on.

I do dispute that it's hard to read PDFs without it. :-) I don't find it hard at all. I set APV's zoom to go by 10% at a time, using long-hold on the zoom button for a bigger zoom as needed, and can get the right size quite quickly.
