Description Harald 2007-06-10 09:58:39 UTC 
Version:           0.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          Whatever ubuntu uses to compile apps 
OS:                Linux

On screen reading can easily be enhanced with an automatic zoom faktor setting that zooms to the bounding box of a page. This uses the screen real estate much better than 'fit to page' or 'fit to width'. In line with the latter, two new options could be called

'fit to bounding box'
'fit to width of bounding box'

Thanks anyway for a great tool which is now smother to use than acrobat.

Harald.

For "bounding box" you mean the area where is text?
Comment 2 Harald 2007-09-15 19:49:20 UTC 
Basically, yes. Of course, if it is not text, but some graphics, this should still be included. I guess the bounding box is the box on a page that encloses all painted areas.

Hm, then more or less bug #115557 ?
Comment 4 Harald 2007-09-15 20:07:59 UTC 
Pretty much, yes.
Comment 5 Pino Toscano 2007-09-15 20:12:38 UTC
