PDF files are not like normal eBooks which can happily be displayed on any sized screen. A PDF file has fixed sized pages - normally A4 or US Letter - and that's "fixed" - they can't be displayed on any other sized screen except by either reducing the size of the entire page, or panning the screen over the existing page.
The Reader has a screen which is only 1/6th the area of an A4 page. There is no sensible way to view such a page in 1/6th the area it should be displayed.
This is a limitation of the PDF format, not the Reader. PDF isn't an eBook format - it's a "page description" format, for fixed-sized pages.
