There is no setting in buzztouch that basically says "stretch the document to fit in the screen." I think a problem with PDFs is that they are basically an image of the original document (not a pure image, but sorta like that). So, they are as the source was. I have used standard 8.5x11 PDFs in my AZ Fishing Spots iOS app, and they scale perfectly on iPhone and iPad without any extra help. Any way you can change yours to be that size?
