Interesting - it's actually a deliberate choice in XPDFCore.cc:
...
// get the initial zoom value
if (fullScreen) {
zoom = zoomPage;
} else {
std::string initialZoom = xpdfParams->getInitialZoom();
if (initialZoom == "page") {
zoom = zoomPage;
} else if (initialZoom == "width") {
zoom = zoomWidth;
...
I guess the idea was that the initialZoom resource setting was likely to
be appropriate for viewing in a smaller window, and -fullscreen is
usually for presentation applications so you'd want to see the whole
page.
Maybe there should be a fullscreenZoom resource, defaulting to "page",
and -z should set both? That would avoid changing the default behaviour,
but it'd let you override it with -z as you want.
Thanks,
