What does 100% zoom mean in Evince?

Does it mean the displaying size of the pdf document is the same as printing size?

Yes, but only if your DPI is correctly set/autodetected.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

But the Xorg wiki says "Xorg always sets dpi to 96. "

And I have compare the printing result with what Evince displays at 100% zoom (same page), they are not the same size, and fonts either.

PS: I also have the problem: my monitor has only PPI 89, how can Xorg the dpi to 96? I've also ask the problem at here.

That's the reason why the size differs. The general problem here is that while X knows the resolution of your monitor it does usually not know it's physical dimensions (and without that it cannot set the correct DPI). See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xo … ze_and_DPI on how you can tell X the dimensions or set DPI manually.
