Hi,

In the course of a typical day, I may open 20 or more pdf files.  The 
files are typically datasheets, schematics, and other documentation, and 
they come from a variety of sources, so there is a mix of page sizes and 
orientations.  When I open a pdf with evince, I have no idea how large 
the window is going to be.  In many cases, the bottom of the window is 
well below the lower edge of my monitor, forcing me to manually shrink 
the window from one of the top corners, and then drag the window up.  In 
other cases, typically schematics, the window may be centered on one of 
my monitors (dual monitor setup), but extend off the left and right 
edges of that monitor.  Once again I have to manually resize the window 
in order to get it fully within the monitor.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with evince?  If so, do you 
have a solution to this window size problem?

My system is CentOS 7 with xfce as the window manager.  Evince is 
version 3.28.2.  I have two 1920x1200 monitors connected.

thanks,
galen
