A long time Foxit reader user, driven to dispair by one particularly stupid change that has been made. What is the logic behind the zoom controls? On Word, it defaults to 100%. If I click - or + it changes in 10% increments. Great, completely intuitive.
On Foxit now, I'm on 127.20% (!) and its too small, so I click + zoom and it goes to 161.20%. Still a little small on my screen so click + again and now its 195.20%. I click a third time and it goes to 440%... wtf? Who came up with this and why? I've been putting up with this for months in the hope that it made some sense eventually, but I'm still as confused as when this was first implemented. I've given up on the - and + options entirely as they seem too crude and largely random, instead I fiddle about with the tiny zoom bar, trying to find the sweet spot. This is made needlessly difficult as well, as all the useful sizes (ie 100% +/- 80) are given a tiny part of the bar, so that we can zoom up to 5600%, which I'm sure is a level that is regularly used by many people...
Is there a way of dumping this idiocy and returning to something user friendly like you used to have?
