The JBL's current firmware uses Adobe Reader Mobile to read PDFs. You can turn off
the PDF Reflow and treat the page as an image, with zoom and pan and scroll.
It works the same in both portrait and landscape modes. PDFs have different options
depending on whether the Reflow option is on or off. With reflow off you have the
options for "Full Screen" and "Fit Width". The scrolling is not a smooth function like on
a computer screen, but jumps a displayed portion worth at a time.
No 5 inch display is going to do a very good job displaying PDF images designed to be
displayed as a full page in a book or magazine. As you are making your own you can
make the PDF to match any display you wish, but it will require some editing of the
larger source to rebuild pages of the proper size.
You can also use an OCR program (like TopOCR) to extract the text from your scans,
and make reflowable PDFs or any other format that can fit itself to different sized pages.
Luck;
