set_display_mode

fpdf.set_display_mode(zoom, layout: str)

Description

Defines the way the document is to be displayed by the viewer. The zoom level can be set: pages can be displayed entirely on screen, occupy the full width of the window, use the real size, be scaled by a specific zooming factor or use the viewer default (configured in the Preferences menu of Adobe Reader). The page layout can be specified too: single page at a time, continuous display, two columns or viewer default.

If this method is not called, the zoom mode is set to fullwidth and the layout is set to continuous by default.

Parameters

zoom:

The zoom to use. It can be one of the following string values:

  • fullpage: displays the entire page on the screen
  • fullwidth: uses the maximum width of the window
  • real: uses the real size (equivalent to 100% zoom)
  • default: uses the viewer default mode

or a number indicating the zooming factor to use, as a percentage.

layout:

The page layout. Possible values are:

  • single: displays one page at a time
  • continuous: displays pages continuously
  • two: displays two pages in two columns
  • default: uses the viewer default mode

The default value is continuous.
