You've been told this by many people on many occasions going back months.
You have no excuse, Mike.

What's strange is seeing someone who portrays himself to be of such high
intelligence, to just now be making an observation about someone that
everyone else knew months/years ago.

You are a ****ing joke my man. A ****ing joke.

I'm running a 16:9 flatpanel 20" from Acer.. and the pdf comes up
alright at 100% resolution. Don't assume because your configuration
doesn't allow something that everyone elses is the same.

The problem isn't that it - the text on the text pages - isn't readable
at 100%.

Your 16:9 is in the ballpark of 2:1, which is the aspect ratio of the
..pdf 'double pages'.

That is not the (older) 'traditional' aspect ratio, and the .pdf should
not be designed for one type of aspect ratio which is very different
from the aspect ratios of the past.

My aspect ratio is 5:4. I don't think the .pdf should be designed 'just
for' 5:4 either. But that aspect ratio ballpark is a very common one.

Here is a discussion of the aspect ratio dominance from 2003 to 2011
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...d#Aspect_ratio

Here are some excerpts:
<q>
Until about 2003, most computer monitors had a 4:3 aspect ratio and some
had 5:4. Between 2003 and 2006, monitors with 16:9 and mostly 16:10
(8:5) aspect ratios became commonly available, first in laptops and
later also in standalone monitors.

In 2008 the computer industry started to move over from 16:10 to 16:9.

16:9 aspect ratio panels are more cost effective to manufacture locally
than the previous 16:10 panels

In 2011 Non-widescreen displays with 4:3 aspect ratios still were being
manufactured, but in small quantities.
</q>


On a 5:4 aspect ratio monitor, the 100% display is easily readable, but
most of the R side of the double page is off the screen.

If the display is configured for the entire width, the zoom is reduced
to about 60% which is harder to read the text because of the poor
contrast and small size. 100% is much easier to read.

It is until you continue posting and answering your own questions, or
as you did yesterday, correcting yourself.

The fact you have multiple nyms doesn't speak highly of your character.
It indicates fraud and deception. Neither of which are traits of "good
guys". At the rate your going, a faq might soon be created similar to
the one for pcbutts, warning people about you. As if it's necessary at
this point.

Just furthers my observation. You're intentionally deceptive. I've
stated you aren't a good guy for sometime, and in your efforts to
attack me, you provide more proof to support my statements.
