Smile Yay! Learned something new today

Just thought I'd share with the group that I *finally* figured out how to "zoom" when viewing a pdf. I was trying all kinds of pinch-zoom gestures for the longest time. In frustration I double-tapped the screen (sorry...Zombieland reference) and voila! It zoomed in.

While it would be *nice* if pinch-to-zoom worked and I could have finer control; at least it zooms.

Actually, pinch-to-zoom is supposed to work in the PDF and doc viewers. It's a 1.4 bug that it's not working.

Thanks. I had not tried double tapping. It also works in Doc View but the font is huge.

Hey thanks for the great tip. I had some documents emailed to me in pdf yesterday and could not even read the things because zoom was broken.
I used the double tap and all is well again.
