Viewing PDF's in Bridge

When viewing a PDF, how do I make the image in the preview tab fill the space? I recently updated to bridge 2018 and this was not an issue prior to the update. BTW a photo will fill the screen but a pdf will not. I am viewing high res pdf files.

    Once you have chosen a pdf page, use the slider in the bottom right of Bridge to enlarge the view

    the slider controls the content window not the preview window and will only enlarge so far and not to full screen.

    What are dimensions of PDF's that you are viewing? It fills space with images when the image has enough pixels, with small size dimensions it does not fills the space. Bridge will not enlarge document or image. From what I see your PDF document is 600x800pixels. Resolution is used interchangeably to refer to pixel dimensions and density (300 dpi for example). If you set DPI to 300 it does not mean it will be displayed as you want it because there aren't enough pixels for application to fill the space without to enlarge document what will result in loss of quality.
