Description Steven Usdansky 2015-08-31 21:18:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Large pdf (19.09 x 46.98 inch) will not magnify above 125% in either atril or evince. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
poppler-0.34.0-1.fc23.x86_64
poppler-data-0.4.7-4.fc23.noarch
poppler-glib-0.34.0-1.fc23.x86_64
poppler-utils-0.34.0-1.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open pdf in evince or atril
2. Click on magnification list(?) box
3. Try to set magnification above 125%

Actual results:
1. Largest magnification shown is 150%
2. Cannot even select 150%; 125% is largest selectable magnification


Expected results:
1. Largest magnification shown will be 400%, as it is with smaller (in dimension) documents 
2. What I perceive to be a list box should actually be a combo box that allows me to specify any magnification

Additional info:
Xpdf, which requires poppler-utils which requires poppler but not poppler-glib, works as expected - it displays magnifications up to 400% in the combo box, and allows me to select even larger magnifications (I tried 600%)

Comment 1 Steven Usdansky 2015-09-01 21:06:55 UTC
Bug should probably be filed against evince and atril. Manually editing my test pdf to reduce the reported page size by 50% then loading the pdf into both evince and atril caused magifications up to 300% to appear in the zoom combobox of both apps. Atril allowd me to select 300%; evince maxed out at 259.51%.

Comment 2 Marek Kašík 2015-09-03 14:26:56 UTC
This can be configured at org.gnome.Evince gsettings' key "page-cache-size". Try to set something larger then 50MB for a page and it will allow you to magnify more.
I'm reassigning this to Atril since I don't see the key there.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-09-03 16:48:17 UTC
Here is a test build with the missing gsettings key (gtk3)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49862637/Mate-desktop/SOURCE/atril.tar.xz
Can you confirm if that fixes the issue?

Comment 4 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-09-03 17:13:49 UTC
Ok, forget that build, this will break pdf viewing

Comment 5 Steven Usdansky 2015-11-18 00:41:19 UTC
Will await a fix. I've lived with it this long, I can live with it a while longer

Comment 6 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-11-18 00:50:24 UTC
ask upstream, i can't fix it.

Comment 7 Nemoinis 2016-05-04 19:35:45 UTC
The maximum document zoom in Evince is related to the page-cache-size, which is 50 (MB) by default, and that's not enough to be useful in many documents. You can change it like this:

gsettings set org.gnome.Evince page-cache-size 200

It does not look like this parameter is available in Atril (1.14), only Evince.

Comment 8 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2016-05-11 15:43:07 UTC
Can you please try this scratch build where i have include the page-cache-size gsettings key.
Please test.

Comment 9 Steven Usdansky 2016-06-17 22:58:02 UTC
Scratch build works. Closing the bug (better late than never)
