Customising default preferences for the Zotero PDF viewer

selwynsimsek

I would like the PDF viewer to always open PDF files with the same view settings. Specifically, I always view PDF files with 'Odd Spreads' and 'Zoom to Page Height', and it is annoying to have to choose these settings every time I open a PDF. Is there any way I can customise the default view settings?

Same here. I'm missing this simple feature every time when opening a PDF document. I support the request for this feature (assuming that it doesn't exist - prove me wrong!).

I would really like to have this as well. I prefer to use "Zoom to Page Height" in almost all cases, so I'd like it to the be default.

I would be happy to contribute this feature if the Zotero team are interested in having it.

@jryans: Thanks, but we have this implemented — just need to update it for Zotero 7. We'll try to get it in an upcoming beta.

@dstillman: Sorry for the bother, I don't see this in the changelog or in the beta app. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Has this feature been added? Thanks!

Just chiming in to say that I'd love to see this feature added too. I always view with "even spreads" to see articles in a book format.

Thanks!

Also chiming in to request this feature. PDF viewer always defaults to full-width view. It would be great to have other defaults. Thanks!
