Wouter, Thanks for the additional information. However I cannot reproduce the fault here. For example, I open a full A4-sized PDF with Xpdf. Because it fills my screen by default, I load it with xpdf -z 50 <file.pdf> It is now in a window of 457x455. I click maximise and the PDF is now centered in the full-screen window, still zoomed to 50%. There is a large grey border around it. When I hit +, it zooms to 100% and the area used to display the document is larger (the border is smaller). In your case, you hit +, it zooms in but the viewable area is the same. Correct? If so, I think that may be the same bug as 324172, because Xpdf has not processed the resize event from your window manager correctly. So, as I asked the original submitter, which WM are you using? I use Metacity (GNOME), which doesn't display bug#324172 either. I would guess that you are using xfce4, KDE, ion3, ratpoison or IceWM? If we can confirm that it is the same problem that may help to get it fixed. Bug#324172 is marked important, though not critical. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
