FR: arbitrary zooming mode with pinch-to-zoom gestures for PDF documents

[serdar0020]

I use this for non OCR'd pdf's when the print is too small for portrait mode, but too large to spread over the entire width in landscape mode. It used to be possible with koreader a couple of months ago, by wiping the vertical borders into the dark grey area, manual cropping mode

But no longer. Using Kobo Aura 6", FW 3.11, built 1141

Currently we cannot add arbitrary page margins around PDF pages, visible margins should always be smaller than the original margins. And cropping box exceeding page native size will be bounded to the native page box. The behavior of koreader with cropping box exceeding page native size is undefined and should not be relied on.

More discussions on this issue can be found here: #970

And manual cropping is not the right way to solve your problem though it might work previously. An arbitrary zooming mode with pinch-to-zoom gestures should do the work. I will label this issue to a feature request.

thank you chrox. I'll check the latest versions then, hoping the "arbitrary zooming mode with pinch-to-zoom gestures" will be included. I have a lot of pdf's with very narrow margins, my own scans mostly, and I need this feature.

I'm afraid this feature won't be included in the upcoming stable version.

It's been waiting for someone motivated to come along? :-)

Not just PDFs, but any fixed size files, like comic archives, e.g.

Probably solvable with the added zoom stuff from #6885.
