Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Evince restricts the maximum zoom level for large PDF documents. For example, with a document that is nominally:
2743 mm × 914 mm
the only zoom levels given to the user are:
50% and 70%
this means that the text is impossibly small, and hard to read. Ideally allow zoom level should be presented to the user, regardless of the theoretical paper size; which is completely hypothetical, because it's digital and just bits and bytes.
It seems that Evince has a hardcoded cache size limit (in an effort to avoid hanging the user's machine). Ideally tiled rendering, or a more dynamic cache-size selecting algorithm should be used (on a machine with 3GB it makes no sense to limit to 100MB).
