2-Page display in Acrobat 9.1.2

I have a document created in ID CS4, of multiple facing pages, and exported to PDF. But when I open it in Acrobat 9.1.2, and switch to 2-Page view, it displays with page one (a right-hand page) moved to the left of the screen, and page 2 (a left-hand page) to its right on the same screen. From then on, all the RH pages display on the leftt in Acrobat, and the next LH pages display to their right.
Is there no way to get Acrobat to display a single RH page, and then display each 2-page spread as they actually appear in the document?

Thanks Bernd, yes that works, and your help is appreciated.
It's a bit annoying that Acrobat reverts to single-page view each time the file is closed. Can't this setting be sticky?
Also, the option you've pointed out seems oddly worded, which I guess is why I couldn't find it in the online Help -- the first page is part of the document, so I wouldn't have thought to call it a "Cover Page". But it only works if you select this option *after* selecting Two-page mode, so it doesn't seem very obvious to me.
But I guess not all menu phrases can seem immediately clear to everyone who reads them. Tricky business, UIs.
Thanks again for assisting me!

Display page numbers in Acrobat Pro 9

I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9. On my previous version of Acrobat, when viewing a multi-page PDF there was a field at the bottom of the page that said that I was on "Page X of Y". I deal with a lot of large documents, and I need to be able to track where I am, especially when I'm adding and deleting groups of pages.
In Acrobat 9, the display that tells me what page I'm on is missing. I've searched through the menus, preferences, knowledgebase, etc, and I haven't been able to find something that will turn this on.
I'm not talking about adding page numbers to a document. I just want to know that when I'm paging through a 300+ page PDF, I'm on the Xth page of the document.
Is this available in version 9?

Acrobat pro properties how to usefull screen mode and keep page display at 100%

I am trying to create a pdf that will open in full screen mode and be a self running presentation but will display at 100% or at the actual page size and resolution.
When full screen mode is selected and with 100% selected in the properties or with actual size selected in the properties, when the pdf file runs on large screen monitor it enlarges the page display so it is no longer at 100% of size or it actual size (pages are set up at 8.5 by 11 inches full screen mode on large 20 monitor make them enlarge).
Is there setting combination that can use the full screen mode and thus use the self running presentation but still maintain the image display size and correct resolution 100% at 72 ppi.

Not having problem with the pdf file autostarting, there are no movies or sounds in PDF file only transitions with auto flip are used. My issue is getting the file to display at correct size and resolution with the full screen mode also turned on in the document properties (running acrobat 9 pro on mac os 10.5.8). Using 100% or actual size or fit page in the initial view setting seems to not effect this when the full screen mode also is selected. I want the file to display at its correct size and resolution, I thought that using 100% vs actual size would make the file display at its 8.5 x 11 size or what ever size is used regardless of monitor size it is displayed on. PDF file seem to do this when the full screen mode is not used.
I thought that I had gotten this to work with full screen mode before, maybe this has changed with acrobat pro 9 on mac?
It seems there is no way to affect the display within the fullscreen mode. So for example if you set in document properties under the initial view the magnification to 50% when the the full view mode is checked it overrides this magnification setting this seems to be so if using the actual or the 100% setting. Yes the 20 or 27 inch monitor displays it larger and also distorted because the file resolution is intentionally kept at screen res 72 ppi because I need to maintain a small file size. This is not what I want to happen. I thought there was a way to control how the file displays when using the fullscreen mode. this is my making me crazy issue.

Have you tried before creating a PDF going to preferences > Page display and set to 100%, fit width, or fit visible to see which works the best.
Actually what you are seeing is what it shows on your monitor. and will be different for each person's monitor. 100% on a 15" monitor is going to show much smaller than on a 27" inch monitor.
As for the autostart. On Macintosh only sound and movies are allowed to autostart, and even then only from computer or if your using Quicktime , or possible for music iTunes. PC's are the ones that allow anything and everything to autostart. I don't know if its as big an issue now oas when Apple begaan the policy. But it was apple actually looking after the users best interest. You see a lot of Virus, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware were installed using autostart commands so Autostart simply does work Now you could create a PDF to be burned on a DVD and sent to people, That can be set to AutoStart. but it would fail for your mac users. it doesn't take but a second for a person to click on a PDF to run it.

Acrobat page display is clunky

I'm using Acrobat X and my PDFs print perfectly, but the page display is clunky. Fonts and rules look about twice as thick as they really are. This is not good when sending PDFs to clients as proofs. Also, at actual size or a couple of sizes up, any gradients show a line at the fade-out edge – a line that really isn't there.

Hi,
Could you please check the option 'Enhance thin lines' it is checked or not?
Edit-Preferences-Page Display-Enhance thin lines
If it is checked then uncheck it and check the behaviour.
Also, is it happening with all the documents?
Regards,
Anand

Adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP La

adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP Laptop

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

Acrobat 8 - Page Display for 3 or more pages

I know one can do 2-up page displays - Is it possible to do a display of three pages that will print together in a spread?

I think that 3-up is possible. It is a function of the print driver. If your printer does not allow it, then you can print to a new PDF and select multi-up in the Adobe PDF printer properties.

Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf). When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals. However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating.
Please help.

Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

[Solved] Adding Printer Marks to a Pages document in Acrobat

By "Printer Marks" I mean "bleeds" and "crop marks".
A bleed is the area of the paper that will be trimmed off after the job is printed.
Crop marks indicate the exact place where the paper is to be trimmed.
Background:
I normally do programming and web development, but, after having spent about three hours fiddling around tryng to transform our Pages-made brochure into something to send to commercial printers, I thought I'd record the process so as not to waste so much time on the next occasion we do something similar.
I thought I'd share this with other Pages users because Pages has no native support for Printer Marks and PDF files contain this as metadata, so a commercial printer will expect this to be properly set up. I believe their printers may even read the PDF metadata.
Required:
Pages and Acrobat Pro. (I have Pages '09 and Acrobat 9 Pro - updated from the one originally distributed with Adobe CS3)
Recipe:
Set up a custom page size in Pages.
e.g. For an A4 sheet size (210 x 297 mm), the Pages "Page Setup" should specify 220 x 307 mm allowing for a 5mm bleed all round.
'Print' the document to 'Adobe Acrobat PDF' (which, for me, automatically opens up Acrobat Pro 9)
In Acrobat, go to: Advanced >> Print Production >> Crop Pages
The excellent article at http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/page_boxes explains the Acrobat box model and points out that PDF files will embed this important info for the printer:
The Trimbox (defining the intended dimensions of the finished page): e.g. A4
the BleedBox and the MediaBox which are e.g. 5mm bigger all round the A4 sheet and will contain the Printer Marks.
So: You only need to edit the margins of the Trimbox on "All Pages". Acrobat will add the Printer Marks outside the TrimBox.
Ensure no other margins are accidentally edited.
The MediaBox is the imported page size and is not editable in the Crop Pages dialog
The Bleedbox you wil most likely want to be the same as the Mediabox so won't need editing. Ensure it's 0,0,0,0.
The TrimBox is editable - and should be edited - here (e.g. add 5mm 'margins' all round to allow for the bleed.)
Click OK: Now if you specified margins for the CropBox …. but why would you? ... but this may be default Acrobat behaviour! .. you will have cropped out the screen area where the Printer Marks will be displayed.
Go to Advanced >> Print Production >> Add Printer Marks
I didn't check "All Marks" because I had a spurious Registration? "capstan" added in the middle of a page on one occasion. I checked Trim Marks, Bleed Marks and Color Bars. … on "All Pages".
Click OK; Command+S to save file.
Good to go!

Use the Add Printer Marks tool:

View page size in Acrobat 8?

I use both version 6 and version 8 in Acrobat for Windows. One of the reasons I haven't given up using Acrobat 6 on my workstation is that I can see the page size at the bottom left of each page in the single page view. I can't figure out how to get this displayed in Acrobat 8, nor find it in a help screen or among these forums. Anyone have any advice?

I am not sure, but I think you just move the mouse down to the lower left of the window and you get a popup. At least that is the way AA7 works. It is no longer displayed by default.
By the way, you are really asking a question that in the future you should put in the forum and not the feature request area. If you got a negative answer in the forum and felt it was a needed feature, then here is the correct place to come.
Hope I answered your question in any case. It had been answered a long time ago in the forum, but may not be in the archives any more. I will agree that I can't find it in the help menu either. I may just not be looking for the correct thing.

Poor font display in Acrobat X

When I view many PDF files in Acrobat Pro X (10.1.9) in Windows 7, the font displays poorly:
The same file appears fine in the Firefox viewer:
Any idea how I can fix the issue?

A couple of questions about the displays above.
What are your Page Display preferences in Acrobat?
Is the font in the PDF file embedded?
What is the Firefox viewer? Do you mean the JS file named PDF.js?
Can you post a sample file that is displaying this behavior?

Can't Drag and Drop from pages bar in Acrobat XI Pro for Mac?

MAC OSX 10.7.5
Acrobat XI Pro
In adobe Acrobat XI for Mac, how do I drag pages from the Pages Thumbnail sidebar into finder and make a new PDF?
In windows I can simply select the pages, drag and drop them into Explorer and it creates a completely new PDF with the pages I dragged. I've tried everything on my Mac and I can't get it to extract this way.
It's extremely slow and frustrating having to manually right click extract, select the pages, open it in a new adobe window, then have to save the file through the menu.
On windows I just select the page, drag to the folder, click , and rename.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

Reducing size of .pdf image prior to displaying by Acrobat Reader

I scanned a newspaper article to a .pdf file and when Iit was displayed by Acrobat Reader the image was at 290%. I would prefer a 100% readable image. Is there an option to reduce the image size to say 100 or 75% prior to displaying it in Acrobat? Could this be a function best achieved during the scanning process? If so, how? I am new at this and would appreciate any advise available.

Try playing with the default layout and zoom settings.
Edit > Preferences > select the category Page Display
In the Default Layout and Zoom pane, you can use the drop-down menus for
Page Layout and Zoom to make selections.

Help: Crappy font display in Acrobat 9, Windows 7 x64

I have build a new Windows 7 x64 machine. Nice and fast.
Unfortunately, Adobe Acrobat 9.2 is playing up. The fonts in a number of PDFs from different sources do not display correctly; the letters are far too thin and coarsely pixelated. The same files show up correctly on my Vista x64 machine with the same version of Adobe Acrobat.
I wonder what this problem is and if there is anything I can do either in Acrobat or on the system side to get this straightened out
I am enclosing two small files entitled Right.jpg and Wrong.jpg that illustrate nicely what I mean.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Per

Go to Edit\Preference\General...
Or you can just press ctrl + k.
Click on Page display.
Ensure "Smooth Text" is NOT set to "none". So if you have an LCD , set it to "For Laptop/LCD screens".
Ensure that the other check boxes such as "smooth line art", "smooth images" are checked.
You may want to experiement with "Use 2D graphics Accelleration". Turning on can speed up display but can cause some strange effects (such as curves being rendered as a series of short straight lines. Some things look better with it turned off.

Adding Page Display options to the Toolbar (Tool Sets)

I'm not seeing how to add page displays to the Tool Sets. Is there a way to do this?
Ditto for returning to beginning or end of Document, or even returning to previous position. These were available in Acr. X
Thanks
(Mac Mtn Lion user)

I'm assuming, since you said, "These were available in Acr. X," that you're asking about Acrobat XI.
The easiest way is to right-click (or Control-click) on the toolbar, and choose the tools from the menus shown below:

Set zoom and page display on open

Thought I would be able to set zoom (90%) and page display (Continuous) in Acrobat Pro Properties/Initial View before distributing my LiveCycle form, but realize now I can't.
What scripting would I use in LCD ES2 9.0 document targetted for 8.0 or later to set that?
Thanks! ~Carol

That was very helpful - lots of good info there, all in one place. Thanks for sending!
Since I don't see anything specifically to set page display to Single-Continuous and Zoom to a specific percent (90%), I assume those options are not available?
Not the end of the world if they're not, just would be nice.
Thanks! ~Carol
