Acrobat Properties - How can I set a default group of properties?

I have been unable to determine how to create a default set of properties. Every time I create a pdf, I have to go into the properties and set the document to open with a set of properties specific to my needs. It requires me to change the Description and all of the settings in Initial View and Security. Surely I can do this once and save it as a default. Can anyone advise?
Thanks in Advance,
Brad Brusenhan

Set the defaults in the printer properties. Not within a program as they only change for that use of the program, but in the properties of the printer (Start>Printers> right click on your printer and select properties). Some properties can be set in Distiller, but generally the printer properties overrides the choices in Distiller.
I am not sure if there is any other way to make the PDF Maker selections stick - they may be kept according to the preferences set within the application, but I am not sure (I don't use PDF Maker much).

    In your Optimize settings if you set it to "Make Compatible with Acrobat 5.0 or Later" it will bring it down to PDF 1.4

  • How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

    How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

    I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
    The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

  • How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen?

    How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen? Every webpage I go to does not expand to a full screen which causes me to have to ctrl+++ each time. How can I set my preference to expand to full screen automatically?
    Thanks.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

    How can I set the default sign in the mail accounts? thank you

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Signatures
    Drag the signature to each of the desired accounts in the list on the left. If you want it to be the default signature added to all messages sent from that account, select the account, and then select from the Choose Signature menu at the bottom of the dialog.

    How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

    Thanks!

    Do you have a default alarm set in iCal's Preferences > General Tab?

  • How can I set the default line height?

    Greetings,
    I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn           
        Happy
        Sad
        angry
    There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
    So the output would look like this:  
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn            (mild)
        Happy
        Sad                      (moderate)
        angry
    The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field.  I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines",  however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally.  So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
    Does this make sense?
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
    If you have this...
    Behavior Observed:     Severity:
    Withdrawn          (mild)
    Happy
    Sad               (moderate)
    angry
    But want it to look like this...
    Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn (mild)
    Happy
    Sad (moderate)
    angry
    all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
    {TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
    Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

  • How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

    Using Windows 7 - 64 bit.   HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
    Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans.  This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new.  Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
    Thanks.
    Tango
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7. 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
    Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder. 
    Let me know if that helps you out! 

  • How can I set a default window in MAIL (10.6.8) so that it's 27" wide?

    I don't recall this problem pre-OSX. Opening MAIL (in Snow Leopard) results in a window that completely fills my iMac's 27" monitor, almost 100% of the time – even though when exiting MAIL I have all windows to a manageable size.
    How can I limit MIAL to a default window sufficient to contain a "normal" e-message?

    Shrink the window to the size you want, quit mail (may not even have to do that), and then the window will be that size until you change it.  Similarly for new message windows.  Mail remembers (or should remember) the size you set its various windows to.
    Update:
    Hmm, you say you did that.  So what happens if you try this from another account?  Also, FWIW, the mail preferences are kept in com.apple.mail.plist.  If you are willing to potentially loose your mail settings and recreate them then you could try removing that and starting over.

  • How can I set the default save format for photoshop edited photos?

    I just spotted that some of my photos that I've edited in Photoshop from Lightroom are a whopping 450MB. Looking deeper I found that they are saved as uncompressed TIFF files, this despite the default save format for Photoshop in Lightroom's preferences being set to ZIP compressed TIFF files. So why doesn't this setting work and how can I make Photoshop save things compressed?

    Sounds funny but first tell us what version of PS you have, what version of Lr and which OS. Thanks.

  • How can we set the Default to "New Window" for the "Create Link" – "Specify Open Preference"?

    We would like to set the "New Window" as default but can't find where to set it..  I looked through all the Perferences and could not find where this is set.
    We see this when creating Links.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks for your reply.  We are using Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 on Windows 7 64 bit workstation. 
    We see this when adding a link in a PDF.
    Go to Tools, Content, Link.  Highlight something, Creat Link, click Next.  Pick somthing to Link too.  Like another PDF and the Window in the first screen shot comes up.
    I ran a Regshot and here are the results.  Looks like all user keys which would be normal but there must be a way to set the default in the Preferences?  This does not seem to be a setting that stays if you will so there must be something over-riding it.
