pdf viewer wont zoom in enough

Wondering if anyone is having trouble reading pdf files. Document
Viewer. Using poppler 0.10.7 (cairo), opens the pdf OK, but even at the
largest zoom (400%), the page is shown at less than the full height of
the screen, making it real hard to read it.

What's with that ?

Can't the pdf file itself be the culprit? Did you try other pdf-viewers?

Possibly, I don't know enough about it.

Yes, xpdf can zoom in appropriately to be able to read the pages.

I was guessing that somehow a setting of dots per inch on my screen is
out of kilter, or trouble with fonts, or ?

Conversely, all existing pdfs that are on my machine have this problem
(with Doc Viewer).

In this case, it's probably best to file a bug report on bugzilla.
