PDF width

jazzsamurai

I have looked on here and I don't see this specific issue mentioned.
I am using ST3 on my Mac (to set things up) and an iphone. I am using some PDFs for lead sheets on some songs. on the iPhone the PDF does not zoom out to show the whole width. I have 'width' selected in the Settings/Lyrics area.
I don't really want to have to go through and do manual scrolling on everything.
Is there another setting or anything else I can do to investigate how to fix this?

Can you post a screenshot how the pdf is displayed? Because the width setting usually shows the whole document width no matter on which device you are.

I'm attaching 3 screenshots from my phone (an iPhone XR)

This is how it looks when the song starts.

This is another shot, as you can see there is more to the right that is being cut off.

These are my settings

I am wondering if this is because ST3 is expecting a certain aspect ratio or PDF page size?

peter

No, it does not expect certain ratios. If you can not zoom out further with the pinch gesture, you might have cropped your pages in the integrated pdf editor. Tap on the pen icon to open the editor and check the crop tool.

jazzsamurai

No, the crop margin is set to 0 (the slider is all the way to the left).
I just noticed that a similar thing is happening on other songs as well.
For context - I took pictures of pages of a songbook, converted those pics (one at a time) into PDFs and added those to the songs.
It seems that each song's PDF is zoomed improperly.

Send me one of those pdfs to support@stagetraxx.com.

Sorry for the delay Sending one now. (ハナミズキ.pdf)

To be clear - it works on the ipad (zooms to fit the page) but not on the iPhone.

Thanks I got the file. The problem is not the format but the page size. Your pdf document has defined a size of 106x142cm. The viewer in ST3 has a limit of how far you can zoom out of a pdf and that limit is set so that it can not display the full size of your document.

The simple solution is to reduce the size to something like A4 or similar. You can do that for example by opening it in Preview and print it to a new pdf file with the smaller size.

jazzsamurai

Awesome! I suspected it was something like that. It's because I made the pdf from an HEIC image from the iphone using the quick action menu in the finder. What I should have done is opened it in Preview and printed to A4.

Thanks!
