Display setting help please

Post by danna »

I cannot get the preferences to stick to the display settings I would like.

When changing to new page from a bookmark, I would like " Fit To Width "

Hi Dana,

I believe you need to uncheck the two boxes to "Restore the last used..." These override the preference is set.

Also, there can be per document options set in the document itself. You already have that unchecked, I just wanted to pint out that if checked this also will override the preference you set.

Does that help?

Hello, danna

If you wish for the bookmark to make changes to your zoom level, enforcing the fit width option each time it is clicked, you will need to set the bookmark with the zoom level during creation. You can modify an existing bookmark to use this by looking to its properties:

Then changing the zoom level there to fit width:

If instead you wish to prevent any bookmarks from changing you zoom level, and simply wish to activate the fit width zoom level, and then be free to click bookmarks without any zoom being applied at all, you should instead enable the option to forbit changes to zoom level, visible in the preferences where Paul was showcasing before:
