      Thanks so much for you help with this issue I have been frustrated about this for quite sometime? If I understand correctly it is a change in Acrobat not Bridge? This was not an issue prior to the CC 2018 upgrade. Also it is an issue with "Older" PDF's as well. ie viewing PDF's created as far back as 2012 will not view full screen either. So there is not a work around?

      Have you enlarged the Preview pane?

      The simplest solution is often the best: unfortunately it does not matter what size I make the preview pane; the preview for a PDF file is always the same size; small.

      I've gone through the preferences and did not find anything to change there, either.

      There may be something else I am overlooking, but not to my knowledge.

      Thanks

        Blame Acrobat, not Bridge.

        Preview is set to a max resolution no matter what size you scale the preview window to.

        Want to know why?

        Just use the Control L click button to bring up the Loupe.

        This is also a problem when using output panel.

        Hi Bocamag,

        Sorry to hear that pdf preview is not filling the preview screen in Adobe Bridge, could you please let us know the exact version of Bridge and operating system you're working on?

        Also, could you try resetting the preferences of Bridge and see if it helps? Troubleshoot Adobe Bridge for freezes and performance issues

        Regards,
        Sahil

        I am using Bridge CC 2019 and High Sierra 10.13.6

        I have Reset preferences, reset the default workspace, and purge the cache

        but didn't seem to make a difference
