BUG "Fit Visible" doesn't get rid of the margins as intended

Post by JimmyD »

Dear developers,

The description of the "Fit Visible" (CTRL+3) command reads
Set the zoom level so that the page content width fits the document window, without showing white page margins.
But currently it functions more like a "Fit Width" without getting rid of the margins, unlike what the description states.
For example, Foxit's version of "Fit Visible" properly gets rid of the margins, which is very useful when using a document in split view.

Hi Jimmy,

Thank you for the email. Our Fit visible feature is more like a "Fit visible width" feature in truth. A slight margin should be left all the way around for the sake or readability.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the margins left over are small.

If this is not what you are seeing, please do post a ascreenshot showing the issue.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply,

I think I narrowed down my issue. Each page of my documents seems to have 2 tiny dots near the sides, along the top and bottom edge, and it seems that Foxit is filtering this out in Single Page mode.

I'd like to point out that this is not so much a margin, but a shadow drawn on top of the page content. Content still goes all the way to the border. It would be good if we were able to turn this off for those few cases where you want to see unaltered content without having to zoom out (away from the window borders).

Hi guys,

Can you send the document you're seeing this with and a screen-shot of exactly what you're seeing?

I've just posted in the other thread that you had posted on this, so best we keep this as a separate thread for Jimmy.

Sorry for the late reply, but it's a confidential document. PDFX works as intended, it's just that Foxit is able to filter out the noise from the edges.

No worries Jimmy!

Without a sample file to illustrate the issue, it's extremely difficult to know what to do to handle better. Do you have any other, non-proprietary samples?
