FAQ

Does display scale affect only the on-screen view and not printing?

  1. Display scale changes only the viewing size on the screen.
  2. The printed output size still depends on the document's own page settings and print settings.
  3. If you want to confirm the print result, preview the page before printing.

How do I quickly return to the default reading scale?

  1. Open the current PDF reading window.
  2. Press Ctrl+0.
  3. The page returns to 100%, which is useful for going back to a standard reading view.

What happens if the display scale is set too large?

  1. Page details become larger and easier to inspect.
  2. The visible area becomes smaller, so you need to scroll to see other parts of the page.
  3. In large documents or at high percentages, you can use the status bar slider to move back to a more suitable scale quickly.
