[Bug 1330226] Re: document viewer has a ridiculous limit for zoomin which depends on the document size

 

Teo, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please provide an example document that demonstrates this
problem?

** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  document viewer has a ridiculous limit for zoomin which depends on the
  document size

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am opening a pdf whose page size is of about 2 meters by 1.7 meters,
  and Evince doesn't let me zoom in to more that 46%.

  The maximum allowed zoom in should be a fixed percentage, not a fixed
  total size. There's no need to render the whole document to display
  only the visible part, and a lot of other programs can handle that
  same document and view it at any arbitrary zoom, so this limit is
  simply ridiculous.
