I regularly read long PDF's and the best way for me to read these PDF's is showing a single page and setting the Page Display
to Single Page View
. This allows me to use the mouse wheel to quickly scroll from page to page. On my laptop this means that the document zoom is about 60%.
However these PDFs have embedded links that allow me to jump from the current page to the linked location anywhere else in the PDF. But when I follow such a link Adobe Reader bumps the zoom up to 350% so that the target of the link is prominently centered in the screen.
As such I need to manually re-zoom the document to fit the entire screen again. And my documents have a lot of links in them that I am continually following. So this behavior annoys the %&^%$ out of me.
Is there anyway to disable this automatic zooming of the document when following links?
Testing other viewers
- Preview in OSX doesn't exhibit the zooming behavior (but that doesn't help me)
Have you tried any of the alternative readers, such as Sumatra and PDF-XChange Viewer? – DrMoishe Pippik – 2018-08-03T22:10:01.963
@DrMoishePippik No, but this is a corporate load. However I will try them out – Peter M – 2018-08-03T22:29:20.517
Oops... you're right. You can test at home, and then have IT decide if the application is acceptable. – DrMoishe Pippik – 2018-08-03T22:33:31.570
