PDF Zoom Wizard Wiki

Getting Started

Each release provides four downloadable assets:

  • pdfzoomwizard-linux-${VERSION}.tar.gz
  • pdfzoomwizard-macos-${VERSION}.tar.gz
  • pdfzoomwizard-windows-${VERSION}.zip
  • pdfzoomwizard-${VERSION}.jar

For Linux, Mac, and Windows, you can simply (unzip and) use the corresponding native executable. (Mac users may have to control-click the unzipped executable first.)

If – for any reason – you want to use the provided (fat) JAR instead, you must use Java 11+.

In case you are having any trouble, feel free to open an issue.

The GUI

PDF Zoom Wizard GUI

Mode

In "Single file" mode, only the bookmarks of a single file are going to be modified, which can be selected via the "Browse" button.

In "Multiple files" mode, you would select a directory. Within this directory (enclosing subdirectories included), all bookmarks of all PDF files will be modified.

File/directory

The file/directory that will be modified.

Filename infix

If the "Copy" check box is selected, PDF files won't be overwritten but copied. In this case, you have to supply an "infix" that is placed between the filename ("prefix") and the file extension ("suffix"). Suppose you have a PDF file my-document.pdf, then my-document denotes the prefix and .pdf is the suffix. If you choose "-modified" as infix, the filename will be my-document-modified.pdf after the bookmarks have been modified.

Zoom level

The zoom level that will be applied to each bookmark. The PDF Zoom Wizard currently supports:

  • Fit page
  • Actual size
  • Fit width
  • Fit visible
  • Inherit zoom

Info

Displays general information and basic warning/error messages. For a more detailed report, go to ${HOME}/.pdfzoomwizard/log.txt. Suppose your username is "alice", then this path would be:

OS Path
Linux /home/alice/.pdfzoomwizard/log.txt
Mac /Users/alice/.pdfzoomwizard/log.txt
Windows C:\Users\alice\.pdfzoomwizard\log.txt
