Adobe Acrobat X - initial (default) window size to large

I recently changed my monitor and now whenever I open a PDF the default window size takes up 80% of my screen. I'm using Filemaker 12 to create these PDFs, and the inital view is set to Page Only, Single Page and 100% Magnification. The problem is the Acrobat window is about twice the size of the page width, covering up the rest of my windows. I cannot find the setting to specify the default window size?
I'm running Acrobat X 10.1.6, running on OS X 10.8.3
Please advise.

How are you creating your PDF from Excel? Are you using the PDFMaker macro or the Adobe PDF printer?

Set the initial (default) window size

The default size of Pages (actually, of all the iWork apps) is smaller than I like and I repeatedly have to resize the window to a size I prefer. Is there any way to specify a new default window size for iWork apps?
Thanks.

One of my frequent answers:
You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Why is default scan in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 legal size

I have HP LaserJet with new software. I scan directly from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 (Windows 7, 64 bit). The only scanner I can find in dropdown is WIA. I do not see the twain driver - even though I can scan with twain driver in the HP scanning application. The problem i am experiencing is that when I scan directly from Acrobat (using the only dropdown available - WIA - ) the scan is "legal size" and not "letter size." The only option for paper size is to select paper size automatically.
I would very much like to be able to scan directly from Acrobat and have letter size documents appear as letter size documents. Please help.

Try this, it worked for me in Acrobat v.8
Start an Acrobat scan.
In "Acrobat Scan" window select "Scanner Options"
In "Scanner Options" window select "User interface: Show Scanner's Native Interface"
Click OK on "Scanner Options" window
Click Scan on "Acrobat Scan" window
Next you will be asked to save the PDF file. After this a window should open that gives you an option to select paper size and document type.
I found locations in my HP Printer/Scanner to set paper size but I don't think the information is passed from the printer to Acrobat. I suspect it is an HP problem but they are total dolts about doing anything but pointing the fingure at Adobe.
Hope this works for you. It is very cumbersome but it yields the right results.

Hi Jorg ,
Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

Hi champs,
Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

How to change default window size?

I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
default size that it opens to each time is larger.
Thanks for any help,
DD

How can I install Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

I originally installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows XP. I've upgraded the OS to Windows 8.1 and have a compatibility error message when trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 6.0. Any suggestions? Thank you. Roman.

Confirming the response you received. For the record, any version of Acrobat earlier than the 8.1 update of 8.0 simply won't properly install and/or run of versions of Windows beyond Windows XP and certainly not on any 64-bit versions of Windows.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

How can I install Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

It is unknown if you can install it in Win8, particularly the 64-bit system. It would generally be recommended that you buy the new version AA XI. If you have Win8, have you tried the install? Did you succeed, though some parts will likely fail in any case? Can you open Acrobat and Distiller? If the latter two are yes, then you will find that you will be missing the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray will not function. You only alternative is to install a color PS printer, such as one from HP, change the name to Adobe PDF, and change the port to FILE. Assuming the rest works, you can then create PDFs by printing to the Adobe PDF printer and creating the resultant PS printer (may be a PRN extension). Open that file in Distiller and you should have a PDF. That would be the process, but have no idea if it works on Win8 or 8.1. Let us know the results if you try.
I have followed this process for both AA5 and AA7 on Win7 (32 and 64 bit system respectively). I don't use them there, but the process did work in both cases.

Running Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows 7. Have original disc and S/N. Won't run...

Trying to run my older Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows 7. Have original disc and S/N. Won't run...

I was able to install the program on my computer. (Only glitch was that it asked for a .dll file for Vista which I'm not running.
I was able to activate the program ok. When I try to convert any MS Office document to .pdf, it appears to start the process but just doesn't actually produce a .pdf file. No error message or anything...

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 Problem

How do I get Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 compatible so I can access my attachments to e-mails sent to me?

I was successful in installing AA5 in Win7 Starter as a test. It works except that I changed the printer port to file (AcroTray or the Distiller Assistant of AA5 does not work in Win7). You can open the files that are created in Distiller to create PDFs. You may be able to use watched folders to automate the process to some degree.
I suspect that your question is more of having problems reading PDF files in AA5. That is a different issue. It is not a Win7 compatibility issue, but one of needing a newer PDF viewer. I have AA5 on one XP machine that I use Reader X on for seeing the newer files. I do have to deal with some conflicts between AA5 and ARX, but I can deal with that (many folks lose there minds on that).
There is one other option that might be a major problem. Many folks are getting Win7 on 64-bit machines. In that case, you will have to be sure AA5 runs in 32-bit compatibility.
At least that should give you some ideas of what might work. If a 64-bit machine, you may definitely have a problem -- I never tested that combination.

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for OS X

I have changed the platforms, from win to mac, and Adobe Acrobat is required for my work. I own Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows and I was interested if I could change the platform to OS X, but unfortuantelly XI Standard is not available for mac. Also, I could not find a way on Adobe.com site to upgrade XI Standard to XI Pro and then change the platform.
Please advise.

I believe Adobe have been known to deal with "crossgrades" before, but you would need to contact sales in person to deal with this.
