I’d like to have okular that way, that a PDF is always shown in “full page” mode (scaled page fits perfectly inside window) - full page, not full screen :-).
I can’t find any settings for that to make that permanent. Is there a way on how to do this?
Mine is set to “Fit Page”, which sounds like what you’re looking for as well - when a PDF loads, you see a scaled (usually scaled-down) view of the first full page.
I came here looking for a solution to the same problem…
(at least I think so? it could be that it is not Okular problem?)
I would like for files to open “full page” mode, but despite having it set as recommended Okular insists on opening files as shown in attached screen dump
Hi - hmm, from what I can see that does look like it would be “Fit Page”, where the full first page is visible within the Okular window from the start. Could you maybe show an example of what the view is that you’re trying to get to, once you’ve already moved things around?
I see - what Okular is referencing by the view of the file, like “Fit” or “Fill”, refers to what Okular is doing within its own window.
You’re spot on, then, that what you really want is for Okular to start up maximized by your desktop’s window manager.
I just saw your reply here from a minute ago - if that works generally for you, perfect. If you end up finding that you generally want that setting to be enabled again, but still want Okular to always start maximized regardless, then the below steps should help
First, right-click on the Okular title bar and choose More Actions > Configure Special Window Settings…
That’s great @johnandmegh
Thank you for detailed instructions
although I was trying to avoid special settings
in my book they are traps for - old codgers who do something and then forget how and why they did it
KDE is complicated enough as it is
