PDF reader feature request

[Barry]

First, I would like to thank you for what is probably one of the best and most used iPhone apps on my phone!

I was reading a PDF-book in Files Pro the other day and I think I came up with a 'nice-to-have' feature.

The PDF has some white margins on each side, and when I zoom in to remove the white margin, then center on the text, I can get the font big enough to read it comfortably on my iPhone3GS (it's a bit low-res for this kind of text).
Because the page is slightly zoomed in, it can scroll horizontally. While reading I often accidentaly zoom or scroll to the side. So I though, this orientation lock is great, but what if there were 2 more buttons, 'lock zoom' and 'lock horizontal scrolling'. That would be awesome.

Ok, you probably have a dozen way more important things you'd rather be implementing, so I'll just shut up now and let you guys do some more great work!

Thanks for listening anyway

Pleased to hear you find Files useful!

Regarding the zoom and scroll lock this sounds like a good suggestion. We'll have to think about how best to implement this. For example Files already has a basic vertical scroll lock; this attempts to recognise vertical scrolling and prevent accidental horizontal movement, but it's obviously far from perfect. It may be better to improve this than to lock scrolling entirely (for example in two column layout the user would want to scroll between columns as well as keeping scrolling "locked" whilst reading a column). Alternatively some sort of user-visible lock may be needed, but placed in a more accessible location than the action menu.
