Portfolio Sliding Layouts - Why is Card Content So Small?

Is there any way to modify the size of the page image as it appears in each card? The PDFs in my portfolio are letter size documents, but for some reason, Acrobat Portfolio shrinks the cover image down to about 25% the size of the card.

That doesn't make much sense to me. Readers need to see as much of the PDF cover as possible when sliding the cards on the screen. The default size looks awkwardly small and difficult to see.

Any solutions?

There are different card sizes. Select the Grid navigator and you'll see there's a selection. The Navigator SDK includes a standard card display, which is why all the built-in navigators look a lot alike. The card object displays the PDF thumbnail in a predefined way, using one of the predefined sizes. If you want something different, the only option is to write your own navigator, which has gotten a lot easier in Acrobat X, but is still not an easy task.
