Title says it all. The new built-in PDF viewer is a great addition but it has no settings for the default view. I don't want it to open as "Automatic zoom". I want my initial view to be "page fit".

Is there a hidden setting I can change?

Found it. Tools/General has config editor.

Change pdfjs.defaultZoomValue to "page-fit".
