It works like this, say you have a 600x800 screen size (aspect ratio is 0.75 = 600/800). If you then want to display a 600x1200 image/page, and retain its aspect ratio of 0.5, you would then shrink both width and height by 0.667 = 800/1200 and get an image which is 400x800. But when displayed on the 600x800 screen it leaves a white border on the left and right of 100 each.

You can't stretch the resulting image of 400x800 to 600x800 to fill in that whitespace and retain the image's aspect ratio, so you have to "live" with it. If you do strech the image, then a circle will appear as an oval/egg and all the lettering will appear "fatter". It may be visually acceptable to you, but it is "theorectically" wrong to change the original image's aspect ratio.
so..I started to thought that the best thing to see this damned pdf it's on landscape...isnt?
