page size setting

[stavicnic]

I want to report a problem that I encountered with this version (3.6). In the case where I increase the size of the pdf page, this size should be preserved even if I access other pages. Unfortunately, this does not happen, it returns to the initial size, which is very annoying. I tested this problem with the previous version (3.5.2) where everything works perfectly, the size is preserved. I mention that the bookmarks are inserted with Wondershare PDFelement, maybe this will help you understand what is happening. I attach a few pages from the book with which I encountered this problem.

@kjk the comment above seems to be based on the "Bookmarks" are handled differently in 3.6 compared to 3.52 so automatically alter zoom

@stavicnic
No hostility intended
Simply an observation that the Outline (Bookmarks for go to) always include X & Y & Z which was NOT actioned correctly in 3.5.2 but in 3.6 the ZOOM factor is now honoured.
@kjk there is a need for a switch to control the user choice of over-ride zoom True/False

@stavicnic
This is a function of how the bookmarks are written by the PDF writer here I rewrote as NO ENFORCED ZOOM they whould work the same in 3.5.2 AND 3.6

Yes, that's what I want. But I don't understand what needs to be done.

@stavicnic
The developer @kjk would need to add a switch to alter the behaviour of 3.6 so it can either respect or ignore that zoom reset !! which will either mean 3.6.1 or 3.7 will be needed as a new release.

The alternative is see if the bookmarker has a setting for "inherit" thus NOT zoom 75% which means the bookmark will have null for zoom

We respect what PDF is telling us. You can inspect outline (bookmarks / table of contents) using: SumatraPDF show file.pdf outline.

For your file it's:

|       "de DAME."      #page=1&zoom=75,0,0
|       "DATHIS."       #page=3&zoom=75,0,0
|       "DAVID D'ANGERS."       #page=5&zoom=75,0,0
|       "DEARBORN'S SEEDLING."  #page=6&zoom=75,0,0
|       "DÉLICES DE LA CACAUDIÈRE."     #page=8&zoom=75,0,0

As you can see "zoom=75,0,0" explicitly tells us to change the zoom when navigating to a file.
