Fit Zoom to Window Document Extension

Brian_Munz — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I've gotten a lot of requests for this extension, and it's not perfect, but hopefully it will work for what is needed.

Since there is no "Fit Zoom to Window" option for WebView, I've created a document extension that automatically zooms the QVW contents to fit the browser window.

This extension does not work in Opera since Opera doesn't seem to support zooming or scaling using CSS. Besides that though, I tested it in all the major browsers and it seemed to work fine.

You just have to download the QAR and double click it, then go to Settings -> Document Properties -> Extensions and add the fitToScreen extension. Then, as long as you're in webview, it should work.

Hi Brian,

Was hoping to get this up on a server. I see the QAR installs in

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Document rather than in the Extension folder. This seems to work fine when using QlikView Developer locally.

To add to the server, I took the contents of the Document Folder and copied it to

ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects I tried a couple of subfolders too here. Note that other extensions i.e QlikView demo extensions work fine.

Any Ideas? Tried IE and Chrome, too.

This is a document extension so it should be in the Extensions\Document folder. You will have to create it manually if it's not there.

You also need to enable extensions on the server in QMC.

this is what the ref manual says:

Adding Extensions to QlikView Server (page 113)

To run QlikView Extensions on a QlikView Server, the contents of the Extensions folder have to be copied from %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects to the %ProgramData%\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects folder on the server.

If the path to the extensions is changed (for example, to a common place for all servers in a cluster), that path must be used instead. Note that the path set corresponds to %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions (that is, it does not include \Objects).

Small heads-up that everything scales correctly however area selecting inside charts is a bit off.
The area to select inside charts retains it's orginal size before the scaling occured. Take note before putting into prod

This extension is great - thanks - but I can't get it to work on ajax on the server. I have saved the extension in the folders you said to save it in and it works if I open Qlikview on the server and look at the qvw on webview but when I open the same model on AccessPoint it does not zoom. I have checked and the security setting on the management console is set to allow extensions. Any other suggestions as to what might be causing it not to work?

Thanks

I have the same issue. It works in QV desktop in Web View but not using the Ajax Client. My events log shows the extension being loaded.

We do also have problems with this extension and using the Ajax Client. We have recently upgraded to a new QlikView Server. The extension worked fine on the old server, but it is not working on the new server. We are using the same extension and the same QlikView version on the new server.

QlikView finds the extension, but the dashboards are not showing correctly on the screen and we get scrollbars around the dashboards. Does anyone have any suggestions about this problem? It was OK on the old QV-server.

two things for adding it to the QV server:

1. Copy the "zoomToFit" folder to: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Document

2. Go to the QMC> System (tab) > (select your server under QlikView Servers on the left sidebar) > Folders (tab) > Under the sectio of "Alternate Extensions Path" add: "C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions"

Brian Munz,

The code works some time, but not always.

We tried it, but it is not working. Any settings have to be done ?

Thanks

I have to manually change the extension of the .qar file to .zip and extract the contents of the file,then copy the folder to

"C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects", now it can works in the server. Thanks for your scripts.
