You must have chosen the "open files” size as Fit. When you use “Automatically Resize” as default view setting, that assumes a scale factor of 100%. That is because there is an ambiguity, because you have chosen to 1) fit the window to the PDF (Fit) and 2) fit the PDF scale to the window (Automatically Resize), that’s undetermined so we have to make a choice for you (which is 100%). So you should save “Automatically Resize” and in addition open the window either as Default size (lat used window size), or Maximized (fill the screen minus the Dock and Menu bar). Christiaan
