PhantomJs 2.0.0 - is zoomFactor supposed to work with pdfs?

[togakangaroo]

According to the documentation the zoomFactor parameter is supposed to control zoom.

Previously this parameter was documented as working only with pdf rasterization but had strange effects that I couldn't quite pin down. In various issues I gathered that its behaviour was somewhat unspecified and possibly broken.

Now everything is different. The docs explicitly show a png example, and my experiments with pdf have no effect!

  > phantomjs.exe W.\rasterize.js http://google.com w:/temp/foo.png null 0.2
  > phantomjs.exe W.\rasterize.js http://google.com w:/temp/foo.png null 5

this works fine

  > phantomjs.exe W.\rasterize.js http://google.com w:/temp/foo.pdf null 0.2
  > phantomjs.exe W.\rasterize.js http://google.com w:/temp/foo.pdf null 5

this has no effect and outputs teh same thing as no zoomFactor

Similar findings...

with no zoomFactor set:
phantomJs 2.0 renders a more zoomed in pdf than phantomJs 1.9.8

When zoomFactor is set, I get mixed results, eg. zoomFactor = 0.25 does not result in a thumbnail, but a very very large version!

Note, I'm rendering Highcharts charts to pdf.

This issue is also about the docs being inconsistent

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
