Page fit & default zoom mode in Android

PDFViewCtrl's page view mode controls the default zoom level of pages and documents. New documents will automatically open at the zoom level specified by the mode.

If you configured PDFViewCtrl by using AppUtils.setupPDFViewCtrl, the page view mode and zoom level is maintained automatically. Click here to learn more about setting up PDFViewCtrl.

You can set a default page fit mode in your PDFViewCtrl by using setPageRefViewMode(PageViewMode).

Set the page fit mode dynamically

If you want to dynamically change the page fit mode, use setPageViewMode(PageViewMode). Note that when the user flips the page, the page view mode will be automatically reset to the default mode set by setPageRefViewMode.

mPdfViewCtrl.setPageViewMode(PDFViewCtrl.PageViewMode.FIT_WIDTH);

It is also possible to maintain the zoom level when switching pages.

PDFViewCtrl allows users to zoom in and out with touch gestures. To maintain zoom level when flipping pages, call setMaintainZoomEnabled(boolean). Note that when you double tap PDFViewCtrl will end zooming and reset the page view mode to preferred page view mode. To set preferred page view mode, callsetPreferredViewMode(PageViewMode).

private PDFViewCtrl mPdfViewCtrl;
// ...
private void zoomSettingSample() throws PDFNetException {
    // Enable maintain zoom level
    mPdfViewCtrl.setMaintainZoomEnabled(true);
    // Set preferred view mode to PageViewMode.FIT_PAGE
    mPdfViewCtrl.setPreferredViewMode(PDFViewCtrl.PageViewMode.FIT_PAGE);
    // Set PageViewMode.FIT_PAGE to current page view mode
    mPdfViewCtrl.setPageViewMode(PDFViewCtrl.PageViewMode.FIT_PAGE);
}
