I downgraded to 4.9.xxxx version which works much better for pdf-s in landscape mode and zoomed-in.
I agree, the double tap zoom is worthless and turning pages is now a chore.

Before, if I double tapped, I'd get a near perfect size to rotate the document and get a full width across the screen. Now, either with double tap or using the full width button after rotating, it fails to actually zoom, and splits the page into two useless zones neither of which have a complete line.

Also, the zoom inset window no longer matches what is actually visible on the screen, and to turn the page, I have to slide the view not to the edge of the page, but to the edge of what the inset window thinks is the page, which is about 2-3x as wide as what it should be.

The only good thing I have to say about the changes to the pdf reader is that it seems faster, which almost but not quite makes up for having to scroll 4x as much to read a zoomed document first to turn the page and then to return back to the top left of the page.
