Description Gasper Zejn 2004-01-12 18:40:19 UTC 
It would be nice for Gpdf to have a CTRL-scroll zooming... applications
like MS Office, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla Browser family, have this by
default. I think it would be easier to move to linux if this was
implemented. This is one of the candies people like, because once you get
used of wheel, it gets quite handy. It doesn't need to be smooth zooming,
if xpdf has troubles, it may as well be "stepped".

Closing WONTFIX. GPdf is no longer maintained. Please use evince for your pdf
viewing needs.

You can zoom using Ctrl-MouseWheel in evince.
Comment 2 Zack Weinberg 2006-01-29 19:34:08 UTC 
While evince does support Ctrl-Mousewheel zooming, it is backward from the behavior of all other applications that support it: scrolling down should make the font bigger, not smaller.  Reopen, reassign to evince, retitle accordingly.
Comment 3 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-01-29 23:51:59 UTC 
Done. Version set as per private comment.

Thanks for taking care about this and ensuring software quality. :)

We do zooming consistently with inkscape and eog, no matter what mozilla think about that.

Epiphany, Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth also agree with Evince.
