For any interested, there is a temporary CSS snippet that works for me (see elsewhere for how to integrate CSS snippets with Obsidian in case you don’t know how):
/* Adjust the width of the main content area, only for PDF */
div[data-type="pdf"].workspace-leaf-content {
max-width: 1480px; /* or whatever maximum width you prefer */
margin: 0 auto; /* this centers the content pane if it's narrower than the full window */
}
I second this! I have 100s of documents, and they all display in fit-width… The settings don’t even stick if I change to another document, and then back. I need to be able to change the defaults.
