Initial zoom setting

[maglynn]

My documents all open at 238% which is very unpleasant. How can I choose a different default for the percentage I want to apply to documents when they open instead of having to always manually adjust the setting?

You can set the default zoom level under Edit (or the app menu on a Mac) - Preferences - Page Display.

Thank you, try67! I don't know how I missed the Preferences Menu! What a relief 😉

You can also set the initial zoom level of each PDF- File> Properties> Initial view> magnification. A PDF with an initial view setting will overide the default zoom set in preferences.

Thank you, Luke!
