About ARZoomPatch

Every time you open PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Reader, the document window will open at maximized size. You may feel unnecessarily large windows to be annoying especially with high-resolution screen.

This patch is some solution for this problem, which was posted to fj.sys.mac. :-)

Applying this patch, you can change the size of the window (zoomed window) to your preference.

Caution

Theoretically, this patch doesn't affect other features. But it may cause unexpected behavior depending on the window size you specify.Please apply it at your own risk.

Supported Acrobat Readers

The following versions (for PowerPC) are confirmed.

  • 5.00
  • 4.05aJ, 4.05aE

Other versions will be OK as far as it was accepted when dropped onto the ARZoomPatch window.

Copyright notice

The software and the documentation are copyrighted by the author. Note that the author IS NOT responsible for any damages caused directly or indirectly by this software.

Distribution

This patch is unofficial one and hard to guarantee to work appropriately. Since I must discontinue distributing the software when the unexpected behavior was found, I basically can't approve redistribution of the software.
