Hi Csikos,

I’m afraid you can’t block autoresizing.

As Hraban noted, the document has the following information:

   /ViewerPreferences << /FitWindow true>>>

According to the PDF specification, this means:

   /FitWindow: A flag specifying whether to resize the document’s
   window to fit the size of the first displayed page.

Adobe doesn’t ignore the flag when it is set to true.

If you are on Linux, evince may do what you want.

Just in case it helps,


Pablo
