          This issue is strictly Opera related. I had Chrome installed on my same laptop and it is fine. I also used Opera on my work computer but it did not have this problem. This has to be related to "resolution" and "pixel scaling"

          As you can see, Opera display more pages when a pdf file is opened (note: no zoom, this is how it looked after a pdf link is opened).

            Any update at ALL ?? I have been struggling with this issue ever since they found a fix for the DPI scaling issue which was since... version 25 ? And now it is version 40 ! Did Opera developers have issues reproducing it or is it simply NOT important to look into ??

            Did you try the extension I suggested?

              The problem with the PDF viewer extension is that the pdf opened by the extension is not a valid tab, meaning there is no link address of the file in the address bar. Knowing where the pdf is coming from is important to me. On the other hand, since there is no link associated with the document so when you close Opera and reopen it, it is unable to locate the document hence you lose the source of the pdf document. Also the rendering speed of the extension is not as fast as the built-in pdf viewer, if you scroll too fast, you start seeing spinning circles.

                Hmm. If its that important to know "Where" a pdf comes from don't you just always look in the lower left corner when you hover the pdf link???

                I just checked using the extension I referenced above and when I close and reopen Opera with a couple of pdf files it said it couldn't find them initially but then it loaded them!

                Interesting. I never noticed that the address bar was blank. I then tried right clicking in the pdf and hit "Copy Address" and it gave me this link...

                chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://soaringeagleopen.com/PDF/Soaring Eagle Open Entry Form.pdf

                To bad this won't work for you. The "Find" command in this extension is really good.

                    I don't think so. It seems to still be happening.

                      The scaling issue is fixed, but now the pdf rendering performance is slow. The pdf appears stuttered and jagged and not smooth and fluid like before.
