Re-titling per response from José Aliste on: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303365#c48
** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #303365 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303365 ** Summary changed: - Evince restricts maximum zoom to 70% on large (area) documents + Evince cache size limit restricts maximum zoom to 70% on large (area) documents ** Description changed: Binary package hint: evince Evince restricts the maximum zoom level for large PDF documents. For example, with a document that is nominally: - 2743 mm × 914 mm + 2743 mm × 914 mm the only zoom levels given to the user are: - 50% and 70% + 50% and 70% this means that the text is impossibly small, and hard to read. Ideally allow zoom level should be presented to the user, regardless of the theoretical paper size; which is completely hypothetical, because it's digital and just bits and bytes. + + It seems that Evince has a hardcoded cache size limit (in an effort to + avoid hanging the user's machine). Ideally tiled rendering, or a more + dynamic cache-size selecting algorithm should be used (on a machine with + 3GB it makes no sense to limit to 100MB). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #642683 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642683 ** Also affects: evince via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642683 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - Evince cache size limit restricts maximum zoom to 70% on large (area) documents + Hardcoded Evince cache size limit restricts maximum zoom to 70% on large (area) documents -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721217 Title: Hardcoded Evince cache size limit restricts maximum zoom to 70% on large (area) documents -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
