Possible to set the default zoom level with "View in PDF Format?"

[ztruelove]

First of all, let me apologize for the flood of questions you're going to see coming from me in the coming weeks.  I'm a long-time Crystal Reports developer who is transitioning into Cognos, and the change from "band-based" reporting to "page-based" reporting is causing my brain to work overtime.  I do make an effort to Google first (and, of course, search this forum). This seems like a good group of people though, so I'm sure you'll take it easy on me.  ;)

Now, for this particular question: is it possible to set a per-report default zoom level for viewing as a PDF?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It's often challenging but also exciting moving to a new technology and trying to make sense of it all. The whole reason for this forum's existence is to share knowledge and help each other, so don't worry about asking floods of questions :)

There's nothing I know of that will allow you to set a zoom level on a PDF rendered report, although I do wonder if the zoom level is a property of the viewer (eg acrobat reader) rather than the document itself? You do have control in a report over whether the pages break horizontally or not, but I am pretty sure you can't specify what zoom level the output will open at.

Cheers!

It is client-side. In Adobe Reader preferences, you will find zoom level default under Page Display.
