Description
This issue is part of our effort to become WCAG 2.0 AA compliant.
1.4.4: Resize text
- [ ] Allow users to magnify beyond 200% and maintain function of the app (A)
Problem:
Users should be able to increase the size of text to 200% without loss of content or
functionality and without requiring horizontal scrolling. This works well for HTML documents, but doesn't work for PDFs.
Steps to reproduce:
- Activate Hypothesis over a PDF - [This one, for example](https://d242fdlp0qlcia.cloudfront.net/uploads/2018/05/25160432/HypothesisWCAGReview20180514.pdf).
- Using your keyboard, attempt to magnify your browser tab by 200%
Expected results:
Like with an HTML page, both the document and sidebar are magnified
Actual results:
The PDF content is magnified, but the sidebar is not:

Compare this to the HTML experience:
