I find that in a pdf with mixed page sizes and orientations, if I navigate through the file using the bookmarks, the view will resize itself following an oversized page. This comment has been removed by the author. I am setting it to ope at 75% but when I open it on my desk top it opens at 224% Any suggestions? When I follow these instructions it works for my computer but when I send it to my desk top computer it does not work. Thank you! It was great to see exactly what I was looking for and to get such precise and accurate directions. I can't seem to move anything around to get to it. maybe the bottom shortcut panel is hiding it. I have a widescreen laptop running windows 7. Users of the full Adobe Acrobat could change the initial view and re-save the file.

So in other words, the file will ALWAYS open in the initial view you specify for users of Adobe Reader. Keith Users with Adobe Reader can override the view settings once they have the PDF open, of course, but they cannot change the opening view. This is fantastic! Exactly what I needed to know for my new digital magazine launching this month :) So, can another user override these settings once they have opened it? Or will the pdf always revert to this format whenever it is opened. Very detailed instructions and easy to follow. These options will override any settings specified by the user in Preferences as described in my previous post. It should reopen with the options you specified in step three. Nothing magnification and layout of the document will not change at this point.ĥ. Note that you can specify which Navigation Panels open at the left side of the screen, the page layout, the magnification, which page the PDF opens to, whether or not you want the Acrobat window to resize to the size of the page, whether the window should be centered on the screen, and whether or not you want the document to open in Full Screen mode (useful for presentations).Ĥ. Then set the options for Layout and Magnification as desired. In the Document Properties dialog box, click on the Initial View tab at the top. After you've created your PDF file in InDesign, Word, QuarkXPress, or whatever, open it in Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional (you can't use the free Adobe Reader to do the steps below).ģ. If I've included bookmarks in the file, I want the bookmarks pane to appear on the left side of the screen so that the recipient sees and uses the bookmarks.ġ. I always like my PDFs to open in Fit Page view, so that the recipient gets a bird's eye view of the whole page. Today's post is about how you as the creator of a PDF can specify the opening view of that particular PDF.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how to set your Acrobat preferences so that all PDFs open at the magnification you want them to.
