I've been able to use the stylus to move the page around when zoomed in.

Here's how I've set things with pdf's to not need to scroll around with the sylus.

1. open the pdf
2. select 'continuous view' from the layout menu
3. select 'selection zoom' and then draw a rectangle. really the horizontal part of the rectangle seems to be what's important. I draw a selection that's just wider than the text.

Now the 'next page' key moves smoothly through the document without any need to scroll around manually within the page.

The only drawback is that the bottom line on the screen can get cut off and because there isn't an overlap from one page the next, you may then need to manually scroll the page to be able to read that line. Fortunaely, this doesn't seem to happen too often but it is definitely annoying when it does.
