How to keep the Zoom level in Safari 7?

There is only one big win that's making me stick to Chrome over Safari: The zoom.
In Chrome when you zoom in a page (With Cmd +) the zoom level is stored in the cookies, or the history, or somwhere, and it stays the same level when you open again that page in another tab or if you close and open again Chrome. This simple feature makes it tremendously comfortable to navigate in big and wide screens.
This feature by itself is going to keep me using Chrome instead of Safari with all the new fancy and cool stuff they added in the new Safari 7. And yes, there is a "Trick" by using a .css style sheet customed to make a default zoom in all pages, but it's not good enough because some pages need different level of zoom.
So please, someone, make Apple correct this issue. It should't be complicated, it's as simple as that Safari remembers the latest zoom level you left in a web.
Because I believe that if people are leaving Safari behind is because it lacks this simple tools that make life much easier. And I believe it's in Apples philosphy to make technology to help people, isn't it?

It never worked the way Chrome works in Safari 6 either, but at least Safari 6 remembered the zoom level you'd set in a particular tab. With Safari 7 Apple has made the situation even worse. Now after setting the zoom level you want, it's forgotten when you click on a bookmark, and the page reverts to actual size. It really is infuriating having to zoom in all the time, and the CSS trick and the various zoom extensions don't work properly. Safari is all but unusable for me because of this issue. I've complained to Apple many times about it in the past, but now I've given up believing it'll ever change. It seems that Chrome will forever conquer Safari thanks to an easy-to-fix issue Apple refuses to fix.

Why does not safari allow to keep the zoom level over the whole website? This is universal problem for all ipad browsers.

This is a big problem on sites like Tomshardware and Sweclockers and probably many more that Safari is not capable of keeping the zoom level the same over all website pages. And it makes the browsing experience on the IPAD an annoyance.
You have to constantly double tap to see the website clearly for each webpage load. There should be settings to allow to remember the zoom level
for a whole website. So you don't have to double tap on every new page of the website.
The other browsers like ICAB and Mercury are not handling this any better and seem to be limited by the webkit rendering options available.
It's instantly visible on Sweclockers and it becomes a problem on tomshardware when you click on a review link.
I have included pictures here that showcase the problem.

Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos

To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..
Because everytime i scroll to another photo, it always zoomed out by itself..
Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?

How hare you zooming? When I double click on a photo to bring up its full sized image and use the keyboards arrow keys to scroll thu the size stays the same? Is that how you're doing it?
Have you tried using the Full Screen mode?

How can I retain zoom level in safari Mountain lion for web pages in default folder

I have several pages I would like to load automaticly with a certain zoom level. When the page loads I have to constantly hit the command key then the + key so the page is large enough to read. I don't want to increase the font size but just to save this zoom level so next time I load this same page it is at the correct zoom level. I forgot to mention, how do I load several pages at once, Iquess this would be in my start-up folder or my default?
Thank You
John

Please send feedback to Apple. They do not read these boards.
This is a really annoying bug and I keep using chrome because of this.
Here's what I sent (feel free to copy and paste):
I am not going to use Safari until you fix a very simple annoyance which Chrome handles perfectly: It remembers the ZOOM level per domain.

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Want to set a default zoom level for safari? Here's how you do it.

If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
2) copy and paste in the following:
body {
zoom: 130%;
change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect.
Voila. Hope that helps someone.

Yes you are right!
This CSS zooming is a crude hack. I think it basically treats a web page like a pdf document where you just enlarges everything.
When you zoom manually, safari does a smarter sort of zoom where it enlarges but tries to keep widths of the elements the same size, reflowing text where needed and scrolling only when necessary.
If the web page has a fixed size that is smaller than your browser window, like this forum, css zoom works ok. But with a page like gmail, which has no width constraint, you get into trouble.
Hmm, wait, I just checked out wiki, which also uses up all available screen real estate, but does NOT have this problem.
Notice in gmail, even if you zoom way out below what should be 100%, the login is still off the screen. The font gets real small but the width of the page stays the same. The css zoom basically "sticks" and isn't completely reversible.
Bottom line: you have to decide which is more annoying: having to hit Ctrl+ for every tab you open, or running into some problematic pages.
On Windows, I use autohotkey (a kdb and mouse macro scripting program) to switch off the CSS on the fly when I need to. I think Mac has similar capability built in, right? If I were really clever, I guess I could program autohotkey to send a few ctrl+ whenever it detects a new window or tab in safari, but I'm not there yet.
Bottom bottom line: Apple needs to add this feature. It's a pretty basic accessibility feature. Doesn't Apple have like an accessibility guru/advocate?

Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page" when combining to one pdf?

Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page"?
When I combine multiple pdf files into a single binder, Acrobat creates a bookmark for each file. In the properties for each bookmark, there is an action created to go to the page in the document and has the zoom level at "fit width". Question is, how do I change this apparent default zoom level to "fit page" when Acrobat creates the bookmarks when combining the pdf files?

Is there a way to do it in one step instead of individually on each bookmark? This gets VERY cumbersome when I have upwards of a hundred bookmarks to change.

How can I make a permanent change in the zoom level?

I want to know how I can make a permanent change is the zoom level? I dont want to constantly have to change it from the default value of 100% every time I go to a different page. Thanks.

Hello,
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint] add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can fine-tune the zoom on individual sites and set the options so that NoSquint remembers per-site settings.
After installing NoSquint, go to the add-ons page to set the per-site settings:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
* Click the "Options" button by NoSquint

I need to set the zoom level at 100% so the drop downs on my work site will work. How do I set this?

I go to a web site to turn in my work hours. This site has drop downs to select information. These drop downs will not work. I called the company I work for and they said that the zoom level needs to be set at 100% on Firefox for these to work. I need to know what I have to do to set this. There system uses Adobe Reader, I have the 9.0 version on my computer.

View menu => Zoom => Reset (or Ctrl-0 [zero] ) - but I doubt that's the problem. Eg. zoom in or out on this page and menus work fine.
Could be Adobe versions are out of sync.

Make table of contents links keep current zoom level, not zoom out to full page

When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically link to the paragraphs the links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to that page. Great.
What's not so great is, that the hyperlinks / cross-references / jump-links / whatever that are created behind the scenes within the table of contents appear to:
...be automatically set to reset the zoom to full page width
...not be editable in any way
Normal cross references retain the zoom level that the user has chosen, and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings about what zoom level change (if any) should be imposed on the user, which can be set to 'inherit zoom'.
How do I set up a table of contents that doesn't annoy users by resetting their chosen zoom level to an artitrary default when they use the interactive table of contents?
I'm really hoping I don't have to ditch Indesign's table of contents feature and create every cross reference manually.

(editted) So it turns out that you can 'expand' a table of contents by copying and pasting it - this fills the hyperlinks panel with links that can be editted (like above) but breaks the auto-update - they're no longer a TOC, they're just a text frame full of links. (I had got different copies mixed up when I thought the frame holding the editable links was also auto-updating)
The greying out of the links was a red herring, just something to do with the fact they were on a master page.
It does mean that one possible TOC workflow is:
Create a TOC on the pasteboard somewhere.
Before finalising the document, update this TOC and alt-drag the 'live' TOC creating an editable 'dead' copy in an appropriate place in the document
Edit the link properties of the links in the 'dead' copy (don't forget that you can select multiple hyperlinks at once by holding down shift, and edit things like the Zoom Setting all at once with Hyperlink Options in the Hyperlinks flyout menu. )
Then, if you make other changes to the document later on, delete the dead copy, update and re-copy the live original, and re-do the changes to the new copy
This isn't a bad method - it just adds about a minute's work each time you export a PDF (delete, update TOC, alt-drag, shift-select the new batch of .XXXX links at the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel, > Hyperlink Options, Zoom Setting > Inherit Zoom, done).
Alternatively, you could manually build a TOC using cross-references if you want links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

How to keep the Sonogram settings and make them "Sticky"?

I am a Forensic Audio Examiner and would love to use Soundtrack Pro. Does anyone know how to keep the Sonogram settings and make them "Sticky" so you don't have to reset it every time you open up the project?
Also the Sonogram loses it's frequency range settings while changing the zoom.
Where is the feedback link for this application?
Thanks

are you talking about the spectrum analysis?

Can the zoom level be increased?

The bottom right hand corner of IE has a zoom level adjustment for the vision impaired. I do not wish to just increase the font size, rather the entire webpage.

Hi nostuh,
You can increase the zoom level by hitting ''CTRL and +''. These options are also available in the ''View > Zoom'' menu. You can find a more detailed explanation of all the ways to use Zoom in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom the How do I use Zoom Knowledge Base article].
Hopefully this helps!
