oh.. and btw if you continue testing what you just did you should notice that what you reached is still not the best result possible..
let's see..
Of course the result is not the best. Actually hacking binary is the last thing that a user should do. However, the feature we all want is not open sourced. So you can either write your own viewer (TechPDF) or hack around the opened source (which I assume repods is doing). Since I really don't have enough time now to do either of them, I went ahead and gave the ugly way a try.

All I have done is replacing the uds and popupmenu and copy needed icon files. Obviously, there are quite a few problems using this non-native uds and popupmenu, but none is a show stopper for normal reading.

See, I don't really need all these dr1000 feature (although they are nice), all I need is changing the current stupid way of pan mode: when then bottom/top of the current page is reached, pushing the flipbar forward/backward, instead of re-rendering the current view, render the next/previous page. Hopefully, I can find this part of code in the opened source, under 4.0/iRex/document-viewer-plugins-4.0+svnr6952/plugins/pdf, then I don't need to replace the uds and popupmenu at all!

I am very curious what repods is doing now, can you give us some idea?
