The PRS-300 doesn't allow panning, sorry. It's very inconvenient and unreasonable on the slower screen that the 300 employs. (E-ink screens have low refresh rates, obviously.)
The 300 wasn't really made with PDF support in mind, and it was essentially added as an after thought. Unfortunate, but true.

The next model, the 600, allows you to zoom and pan around a PDF document. I believe the 900 does too. This way nothing is lost. It's very good, actually. (Both of these have much faster refresh rates than the 300, allowing this conveniently!)

Hope I helped!
