Controling zoom factor in pdfdoc.

Controling zoom factor in pdfdoc.

[Anders Alstrin]

I don´t really know if this is a context question or PDFtex config
question so sorry if this mail is OT.

The win98 Acrobat reader web browser plug-in has an bug that
render´s the font wrong in default zoom factor.
My question is if I can control this inside my *.tex doc or in
pdftex.cfg?

I tryed to set "pdfdest fit" in pdftex.cfg but it didnt do anything.
I even try´d to ad \pdfdest[fit] in my *.tex doc but that didn´t work
ether.

Thanks.

What happens if you launch the document full screen? 

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=max]

Maybe it helps when you turn off the font cache (preferences).

This is really strange! on some pdf doc´s this works in other not.
I can´t find any pattern in this.
And offcourse it only happens under MS Win98 ‰¢¥¡¥¢

Where do I turn off the font cache?

Linux has its own strange things, like random colors. Another (very
persistent problem is the slightly different color in the rather big
rectangle around anti aliased fonts, so that background and foreground are
different, rather annoying on a tft display, but even submitting it as a
bug and making samples for adobe did not cure the problem. Maybe some of
these bugs are burried very deep in the code. 

Preferences -> cache .

Oh, I'm not surprised at all. There are some scaling bugs in acrobat and
the font cache is a mess. I use gs 6+ as reference viewer now.
