    Sets the document zoom factor value to fit to the widest or highest page in a document.

  • Fit Width

    Sets the document zoom factor value to fit to the width of the widest page in a document.

  • Fit Visible

    The document zoom factor is calculated to fit to the width of the visible content of a page. The region of the visible page content is defined by the bleed box (see section 14.11.2 of the PDF 32000-1:2008 standard). If the bleed box is not defined, the FitVisible mode operates the same as FitWidth mode.

To specify zoom mode in code, set the PdfViewer.ZoomMode property to one of the PdfZoomMode enumeration values. When the PdfViewer.ZoomMode property is set to PdfZoomMode.Custom mode, you can specify a document zoom factor value using the PdfViewer.ZoomFactor property. To obtain minimum and maximum allowed zoom factors, use the PdfViewer.MinZoomFactor and PdfViewer.MaxZoomFactor properties.

To perform specific actions after a document’s zoom is changed, handle the PdfViewer.ZoomChanged event.
