If that's the case you probably want to shift your design a bit. It might be more straightforward to manage something like this if, instead of making each page its own view, you make it an object that has a function which takes a view + bounds within that view as parameters and knows how to draw itself using that. This way your top level view just has to manage the list of pages, and when you want to zoom, you can alter the scale and relayout the pages accordingly, then ask them all to draw (or skip drawing entirely for pages that fall outside of the currently visible area). The same approach could be extended to other subobjects within each page (i.e. graphics/tables). Regards, Rene
