how we could increase zoom size beyond 500 in Edge ?

Reason: User working on a Autocad team , where they need to view the pdf file in edge . But upto 500 in zoom the pictures are not clear. So we have to enlarge it .

Environment : windows 10 22h2 with fully Intune managed

We have adobe pdf viewer licence and not allow everyone to use it . So we are allowing user to open the pdf in edge . Any solution to increase the zoom level beyond 500 ??

Hi @Tushar Debnath ,

Unfortunately, there's no common solution to increase zoom level beyond 500%, especially on PDF. However, you may achieve this purpose by the following 2 workarounds:

Use --force-device-scale-factor flag to zoom in. For example, --force-device-scale-factor=2 will zoom in everything twice as much. By everything, I mean applying this flag will also cause browser UI to be zoomed in/out. You can simply create a shortcut of Edge and modify the flag in Properties --> Shortcut --> Target. Make sure it looks like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --force-device-scale-factor=2.
Find Edge extensions in Microsoft Edge Add-ons to help you zoom in PDFs by extra percentages.
