2014-12-28 15:39:19 penalvch description 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%. 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.
