I think there's a little improvement that you can work on your pdf viewer under course files. When I used 125% display ratio on my desktop (Windows 10 Education 64-bit) with Chrome browser (Browser is 100% display), sometimes even if I zoom out all the way through, the pdf is still larger than the whole screen that I have to download it and view it on my local environment. Is there any way that your engineers can fix this bug?
Thanks for the screenshot. At the top of the speedgrader do you see the " - zoom + " feature. Have you used this to help with different file sizes that students submit?
Thanks for the reply. I'm a student so at my end it's about viewing different professor's slides. Yes, I always used - zoom + feature when viewing their slides. However, some professors' slides are too big that even if I zoom out all the way, it's still bigger than my screen. On the other hand, some are too small that I still can't see clearly if I zoom in all the way. The only solution is to download the file and view in my local environment, which is fine. I suggest that the range of your zoom feature could be even larger.
Ah, yes. I understand more of the problem now. You're a student viewing resources added by instructors and they are not consistent in the size of resources they upload. Sorry about that 😞
It's okay for me right now. Just wanted to point that out so hopefully your engineering team can come up with some solutions.
This is still a problem for teachers viewing pdfs in Doc Viewer - zooming out all the way still doesn't let us view the whole document easily so we have to download them and can't easily use the annotator. This is still a bug - the zoom out option should not be limited (grayed out) when the whole page is still not viewable to the user.
