This is the default setting.

 

Fit Image to Window Width

Fit Image Normal

Image size is its original size. It could display as 8 1/2" x 11".

 

Fit Image to Last Setting Used

Image size of the new image matches the size of the most recently viewed image.

 

Auto Save On Close

Systematically saves any changes made to the viewed images upon closing the image without prompting to save changes.

 

Remember Zoom Ratio

If this option is unchecked, any subsequent viewed page will revert back to the default zoom ratio for “fit image to window”, “fit image width” or “fit normal image”.

 

Remember Magnify Glass Setting

Keeps the magnifying glass “on” while switching between documents.

If unchecked, the magnifying glass will turn off after moving to another document.
