You want the extendedPDF macro package:
<http://www.jdisoftware.co.uk/pages/epdf-home.php>. It's a little
involved to install, but there's a good manual with it.

Panes and views are a function of the pdfmarks (control functions) in
the document. I don't know if the extendedPDF manual explains these, but
Sid Steward's book "PDF Hacks" (O'Reilly, 2004) does.

cheers,
 Stewart
