9.1 Pro Update Busted Initial View Magnification

I've just tonight updated to 9.1, and now I cannot set my PDF initial view settings to "actual size" or "100%". Well, I CAN set it, but the setting doesn't hold after saving, closing and reopening the file. The file opens at 100% in Reader 8 (haven't tried other versions), but in Pro it fits, or scales rather, "visible" (to my humongous window).
I always do this for my PDFs so people don't misjudge scale or final size (well, too much anyway). And it worked just last night perfectly before the update. Rats.
I dunno about the rest of you, but I think a PDF should always open at 100%. Maybe that's just me.
Any ideas?

Ah, the update reset my custom page display resolution preferences! Problem solved.

Interaction Between Initial View Magnification & Bookmark Destination

I'm using Adobe Acrobat X.
I understand that setting the destination of a bookmark also establishes the view magnification. Apparently, this is always the case, and that doesn't seem right to me.
Suppose all I want is for each bookmark to take the reader to a particular page, and I don't want the view magnification to be any different from the magnification that the reader is currently using. For example, suppose I've set Initial View, Magnification to Default when creating the PDF. How do I make sure the reader isn't going to get confronted with a different view magnification upon clicking on a bookmark and being taken to the page?

Here are four screenshots showing what Bookmark Properties shows:

In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

Problem: In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?
Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
Thanks in advance.

Initial View - Default Setup (Acrobat 9.0 Pro)

Hi everyone,
This may be a dumb question but I just can't seem to find how to change the default page number in the "Initial View" tab - under Document Properties.
My pdfs are always opening up on page 4 (small thing - but annoying!). I can change the value to "1" for each pdf, but I don't want to have to do this everytime i generate a pdf.
There must be a way to change the default value from "4" to "1" (I hope).
Can anyone help with this?
Thank you,
Tina

Never mind - I just found the option under "Save PDF" that allows me to select the page number.
Just didn't expect it to be there ... sorry about that !

Acrobat 7 Pro, Script to Automate "Initial View" Settings

Can you create an Applescript that let's you batch define Acrobat's 'Initial View' settings under the Document Properties of an existing PDF?
I am not familiar with scripting language and enable the UI feature of Script Editor, but it didn't seem to record my actions. Photoshop's Actions don't allow me to define these specific settings.

Thanks, Bernd. I forgot to mention in the original post that the "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option IS disabled (unchecked), both in Acrobat and Reader. The behavior described occurs with this option disabled.

Batch create multiple pdf's while using epilogue.ps for setting initial view and opening bookmarks

Hi,
I'm trying to batch create multiple pdf's from word files, and use the epilogue.ps file for setting the initial view and opening the bookmarks panel, but i keep getting no satisfying result.. i'm probably missing something fundamental.
I've read some forum posts and adobe help posts explaining this, so i'm pretty sure this would be possible?
Reference:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f0f.w .html see advanced panel options
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f14.w.html
System: Windows 7
Acrobat: Acrobat X professional
i've searched for and found a way to overwite the epilogue.ps file and have inserted the following:
% Insert your custom PostScript here...
[ /PageMode /UseThumbs
/Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
After that i checked my Adobe Acrobat preferences, and in the categorie 'Convert to Pdf' i selected 'Microsoft office word' in the select area 'Converting to pdf'.
Clicked 'Edit settings' to allow creating a joboptions file (field: 'adobe pdf settings') which has the option 'Use epiloque.ps and prologue.ps' checked in the advanced section.
So now i thought i would have everyting setup to create my pdf's, however, my view isn't changed to fit, nor are there any bookmarks or in this case thumbs (i used /useThumbs) visible.
Did i miss something obvious? Is there a better way to test this? Any help would be appreciated!

i like it about that ok in how to open my site

Initial View set in PDF Document not working.

I have a PDF document w/Initial View in the Document Properties set to Navigation tab: 'Bookmarks panel and Page', and Open to page '1''. However, when I send this document out, the Initial View settings do not happen (The PDF opens to the page last accessed before the document was sent and the navigation pane does not display). Help - what am I missing or doing wrong when trying to distribute PDF?
I am using Acrobat X Pro.

It might be the settings in Acrobat that is causing the problem. Edit – Preferences…, under Categories select Documents. Uncheck Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

Initial View is disabled on a Form created in LiveCycle ES2

Hi,
I am trying to change the preferences using the Initial View tool in Acrobat. I want to set it to open with bookmarks visible. However, the entire initial view page is disabled for me. The PDF is one that I created myself using LiveCycle Designer ES2. I am using Acrobat Pro X. Why would this functionality be disabled?
Thanks,
Nicole

Thank you for your link. Unfortunately, I am not a developer and that was like a foreign language to me. Is it possible to accomplish the same from a LiveCycle menu?
The view of a document can be set in manifold ways in Acrobat/Reader.
If single page, 2-up continious, with bookmarks panel, fit to width etc..
A lot is possible, but only with the menu.
JavaScript enables control of all these things from within a XFA-form.
Therefore the properties of the viewState object are used.
overViewMode controls the panels and full screen mode.
pageViewLayoutMode controls the page layout.
pageViewZoom controls the zoom level.
pageViewZoomType controls the zoom adaption to the application window.
This properties can be changes through a button script or the docReady:event of the form.
So you're able to control the initial view of the form.
event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:3};
event.target.viewState = {PageViewLayoutMode:1};
event.target.viewState = {PageViewZoom:0.75};
event.target.viewState = {PageViewZoomType:1};

PDF through VBA: How to set Initial View?

- Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (sorry we're a bit out of date)
- MS Office 2003
- MS Windows XP Professional SP2
I am trying to automate the creation of PDFs from MS Word. I have succeeded. My VBA code works fine (have pasted it below). I can create a PDF, and give it a title and author.
The problem I am having is with the Initial View settings, i.e. how the document opens. I want to hardcode:
1. Show to "Page Only"
2. Page Layout to "Continuous"
3. Magnification to "Fit Width"
The first I have done, using AcroExch.PDDoc's SetPageMode() function (although it seems to default to that even without doing this). I cannot, for the life of me, find any reference to the second and third, though. This must be doable, right? Be kind of weird not to have access to this in the API.
Hours of Googling has thrown up three ideas I've discarded.
1. AcroExch.App's SetPreference() function. This would presumably change preferences on the machine making the PDF, not reading it. I don't want to fiddle with other people's preferences anyway.
2. AcroExch.AVPageView's ZoomTo() function. Ditto. I am not creating an app to view PDFs, just trying to configure the default for opening one I've created.
3. An "undocumented" SetOpenInfo() in AcroExch.PDDoc. This looked the most promising for Magnification, but nobody seems to be able to get it to work, and it does nothing for me either. Someone somewhere even suggested it had been deprecated in later versions of Acrobat.
So... what do I do?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Setting Initial View of .PDF when exporting from ID

Hi,
I use 5.0.1 and upgrading is not an option due to the IT department - don't get me started!
I have created a document in ID with Bookmarks to aid navigation when its converted to a PDF.
In Acrobat 8.0 there is a feature to set the initial view to open the pdf with the bookmarks tab showing - Document Settings > Initial View > Layout & Magnification > Bookmarks Panel & Page.
Is it possible to set this attribute in ID without having to use Acrobat after creating the pdf? i.e when I export the ID file to pdf it is effectivly fire and forget.
Thanks in advance all...

No need to apologize - I'm a rookie when it comes to IS detail.
I use Acrobat Standard 8.1 when setting the initial view and IE 7. There are no security settings set.
I'm posting the documents on a web site and others that open to view are most likely using Acrobat Reader.
Not certain what I should try next. I appreciate your help.

Exporting PDF's - Initial View settings?

Hey all!
Is there any way from InDesign CS4 to set the Initial View of the PDF when exporting your layout to a PDF? I would like to be able to set the display of the Navigation Tab, the Page layout, Magnification, and a few security settings. Is this even possible? Or do I just have to do this from Acrobat? This might be where developing a script for Acrobat might be in my future
Much thanks!
Eric

That must be done in Acrobat.

Set PDF Document Properties Initial View by Acrobat SDK with C#

Hi,
Here am trying to set the PDF document initial view by the Acrobat SDK with C#.
Here I am show my screen shot which properties I want to set.
For this process I am referred Acrobat SDK and also following Adobe forums they also asked similar question.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3866361
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4803264
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk
And also I am used following C# code
      Acrobat.AcroPDDocClass doc = new Acrobat.AcroPDDocClass();
      doc.Open(@"D:\..\sap.pdf");
doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");
      doc.SetPageMode(3);
      doc.Save(1, @"D:\..\sap.pdf");
      doc.Close();
From the above code {doc.SetPageMode(3);} is working for set the page mode.
But I am having problem in following code {doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");}
Because it won’t work I do’t known, and there is no clear samples in the SDK reference document.
So please give advice and clear sample code/syntax to meet above needs which are marked in red box.

Initial View in a PDF Portfolio

I have just started using the new portfolio feature, I have four forms that I've combined. I am using the Grid with Preview option to layout the files. When I open the portfolio it always opens to the same page in the second form, how do I change it to open to the first page of the first form?

Michael,
Can you explain precisely?
Cover Sheet? In Acrobat Pro 9? Where?
A search in the Help file returns nothing when searching for "Cover Sheet" or even "Welcome Page."
In Acrobat Pro 8, there was an explicit command to set the currently viewed document as the start document.
The Help files describe setting an Initial View for a Portfolio; but when you select Portfolio Properties... from the File menu, you get a Document Properties dialog, not a Portfolio Properties dialog. You only get an Initial VIew pane for a document.

Document Properties - Initial View

Is there a way to set the "Initial View" settings when creating PDFs rather than manually changing them all via the Document Properties dialog box?
Most specifically, I would like to set the Magnification to "Fit Page" for all the PDFs I create. I don't see it as something that can be defined in the Acrobat Distiller presets.
Haven't found anything about it on the forums after several searches.
Thanks.

Thanks, Dave.
I will check that epilogue.ps out.
Not sure why my searches of the forums turned up nothing.
I actually use the terms Initial View (among others) and it gave me zero results.
Obviously, your post should have appeared.
