Half Page View for PDF documents
If you find the text in the PDF document too small to read, you can utilize the Half Page View feature to make the text larger and improve your reading experience.
Update: The Half Page View isn't available on A6 X2 Nomad and is replaced with the horizontal mode. You can rotate your A6 X2 Nomad to horizontal mode by turning it sideways.
How to enter half page view

- When in the half page view, the icon turns into or respectively. Tap on it again to switch back to the full page view.

Note: In Half Page View, the ability to zoom in and out with two fingers is not available.
Pinch to zoom in PDFs
- Place two fingers on the screen.
- Move them apart to zoom in.
- Move them together to zoom out.
When the zoom level exceeds 100%, you can move around the small box situated in the zoom window and watch the text outside the zoom window on the screen move in conjunction with it. To change the zoom level, you can also tap the plus icon or minus icon to increase or decrease by 10% each time.
If you don't need the zoom window during your reading sessions, you can close it by tapping the “X” icon in the upper-right corner of the zoom window. You can make it reappear by starting to zoom again or turning pages.
