Some time ago I worked with a company to convert their tech manuals to the PRS-500. On the 500 the PDF zoom (size change button) would only eliminate the white space around the PDF image. It never made the image readable. This was for 8.5" x 11" letter sized PDF files. 11" x 17" images did not display at all.

There are two possible routes as I see it:

1. Use a program to cut the PDF images into chunks that will display in the 600 or
2. Reformat the PDF files to display correctly on the 600.

Since the 600 uses the same display matrix size as the earlier units, the enclosed formatting instructions from Sony for creating a PDF are still valid. I used them and the company was very happy with the result.
