If you lock the app to portrait, then view a pdf from the app, and during viewing the pdf make phone landscape, when you go back to the app, the screen is distorted. Is there any way around this ?

I go to pdf and put phone into landscape and go back to app by hitting done, note how the app is in a stretched/landscape state:

And sometimes (but not always) the app stays that way so even if I go back to the main menu its still messed up:

Try unlocking the orientation before launching the PDF then locking it back after start is invoked again. See if that resolves this issue.
