How can I change the default zoom for pdf viewer in Edge?

Every time I open a pdf document in MS Edge, it's zoomed out too far to read, wasting screen space on the sides.  I have to change the zoom to "page width" every time.  How can I adjust the default zoom level?  (note: I'm not talking about the default zoom level for all of Edge, only for pdf documents)

That's a Microsoft issue, as their PDF viewer in Edge is their own: Hoever based on a quick search of Microsft Support, I found this answer to someone asking the same question:

"Microsoft Edge does not have an option to chose if PDF viewer opens docs in Fit to Width, or Fit To Page. If you would like to submit a feature request, please visit link link How to Report a Feedback/Bug to Microsoft Edge’s Team? - Microsoft Community on how to do so."

Hi @ray_9406

 

Thanks for reaching out. 
@Brad @ Roaring Mouse is correct, this is an MS Edge issue. 

You may try installing the Reader Extension on Edge and check if that helps: https://adobe.ly/3YBO1wW
