Originally created by @acamino84 on GitHub (Jul 29, 2025).
What happened?
The top number of lines (approx.) of every page of every PDF is cut off in the Android app (and no ability to scroll up to see the page).
What did you expect to happen?
I expected to be able to see the whole page and not have anything cut off.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Installed the android app on the Boox 6 go.
Opened a PDF (in the library) to read.
The top of the page is cut off by the top of the reader, no way to scroll up to see it (any attempts to scroll either (1) does nothing or (2) simply changes the page on the pdf).
Happens consistently with every single PDF. I opened the PDF in a separate device (still Android) and works on some devices. It may be the dimensions of the Boox 6 go?
Audiobookshelf version
2.26.0

Please share the android app version and a screenshot if you can
@acamino84 commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2025):
please see attached
app version 0.9.81-beta.
i have also confirmed that the same issue occurs on boox 7 go
@acamino84 commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2025):
As you can see, one of the lines is cut in half, additionally, there are 2 lines missing (plus the page margin is also missing).
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2025):
The latest version is 0.10.0. Can you test with that
@acamino84 commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2025):
just tested with newest version 0.10.0-beta.and the issue persists with no change.
@rusozoll commented on GitHub (Aug 3, 2025):
Also on the 0.10.0-beta, with a Samsung Fold 6. It looks like it sets the page to be full width and crops the top/bottom that is outside of the aspect ratio. If I have my phone open, I lose the top/bottom (no black bars), but get the full content when I close my phone (with black bars on the top/bottom).
@acamino84 commented on GitHub (Aug 20, 2025):
Any update on this bug?
@acamino84 commented on GitHub (Nov 6, 2025):
Curious on what's the status with this bug. It seems like @rusozoll has been able to identify what's causing it. Setting the aspect ratio to full width regardless of the verticle real estate available.
@lmoesch commented on GitHub (Feb 2, 2026):
I can confirm this problem still exists. Android 15, 0.11.0-beta, v2.32.1 Server. On my device (Boox Air C5) it's alot more than just a few lines. I think the scaling does not check if height or width is the limiting resolution factor and just stretches for full width just as @rusozoll suggests.
pdfWidth() { if (this.windowWidth > this.windowHeight) { // Landscape return this.windowHeight * 0.6 } else { // Portrait return this.windowWidth } }, pdfHeight() { return this.pdfWidth * 1.667 },@jmalmsten commented on GitHub (Mar 31, 2026):
I too can confirm this issue persists. I just got my Boox 10.3. loaded my abs server and tried to read some pdf's. The top bit is missing on them. See screenshot here.
