<![CDATA[Save As PDF Issue]]>When I save ANY page using the newest Opera on a Windows 7 laptop, it always results in a page (when opened by Adobe Reader) that is oversized by at least 40%. I usually have to decrease the page size 4 times (using the little minus dash in a circle in the tool bar at the top.

Attached here is a image of a PDF of our forum opening page, for example

You can ctrl + p instead and choose "save as pdf" to print to a pdf instead. That'll paginate everything and should make the size look better.

For the non-print "Save as pdf", I'd try the pdf file that's created in a reader besides Adobe. It' has known bugs dealing with large widths and heights.

Settings in the dropdown are not saved. I have 'Automatic' selected in Preferences and after opening a pdf file, zoom is automatically set to 'width'.

So I went into Preferences after I closed the PDF file that was loaded. Clicked on "Page display" and then "Zoom" and clicked on "Fit To Width" so Reader would then save this a default. Worked perfectly.

Thanks to all who helped here.

Later, I opened it in the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. At the start I had a similar approach that is the default for this program, which I wrote about in my previous post.

Unfortunately, the Opera page is at 100% zoom, as is the default setting for Adobe Reader. When Reader opens the page that I saved from Opera, it is showing at 100%. It isn't until I change the zoom factor to 51.1% in Adobe Reader that the page displays as it does at 100% in Opera.

Maybe it is your the default zoom level set in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC? In the program settings you can change the default value. I use it in another language, I give my location to this option after my private translation into English:
Edit >> Preference (or Ctrl + K) >> View page (last option before line in the list category) >> Default layout and magnification >> Zoom
