** Description changed:

- 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%.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04
  
- 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.
