BIP PDF Default Settings

How can I set the default pdf zoom in BI Publisher? I know you can do in Adobe Reader, how can I do in BI Publisher and overwrite Adobe settings?
Edited by: user6745988 on Jun 22, 2012 8:28 AM

I thought of that already John, but sadly it doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, even with Blurb selected in the book settings, the Export to Book in the left hand panel is still affected by changes made to the pdf options. It doesn't revert back to whatever the original settings were.
I did the following:
1. With Blurb selected I exported a PDF using the button on the left hand panel.
2. I changed from Blurb to PDF and dropped the jpg quality and ppi to low values (without noting the original values-oops!). I exported another PDF and as expected, the file size and image quality where noticeably smaller / worse.
3. I then changed back to the Blurb option in the book settings panel and  I exported a third PDF using the button on the left hand panel. I expected this to match the first PDF in terms of file size and quality, but in fact this PDF was still small and crappy.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • Custom options in Adobe PDF printer are not showing up in "Default Settings"

    Hello,
    I am using Windows 7 and I am trying to create custom "Default Settings" in my Adobe PDF printer. When I make edits to an existing setting, click "Save As..." and save with a new filename, the new settings are not showing up in the "Default Settings" drop down box in the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab of the "Adobe PDF Document Properties" dialogue box. I can confirm that the new settings are indeed saved on my hard drive and are located in:
    C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
    No matter how many different custom settings I save as described above, they are simply now showing up. This works for me on other computers, but just happens not to work on my current one, which recently had an OS reinstall from scratch. Prior to the reinstall, it worked just fine on my computer (an ASUS UX31A laptop). The included pictures demonstrate what I'm talking about.
    Any thoughts?

    I finally solved this. The path for the Adobe PDF Settings was set to the follwing in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings):
        C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
    Even though "%USERNAME%" should work, it doesn't. I just replaced it with my actual username and it worked.

  • How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?

    How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?

    Generally it gets this info from the Identity in the preferences. Unfortunately, I know of no way to change the Login Name that shows up in the comments. I need to look at newer versions of Acrobat on other machines, this is AA8.

  • How can I permanently "reset toolbars to default settings" when viewing pdfs in Firefox?

    Just upgraded to version 8.0.1. My job includes a fair amount of searching and printing from PDFs that have been published on the web. The standard toolbar at the top of the PDF is gone. I hit Alt-F8 to get it back ("Restore toolbar to default settings?"). Sometimes the toolbar comes back, sometimes it doesn't. If it does come back, the available buttons don't reflect how I customized it last time, and the next time I open a PDF the toolbar is gone again. I need this fixed !!ASAP!! or I have to go back to another browser because I don't have time in the day for this. Please don't make me use IE!!!

  • Can you change X Pro default settings to save all PDFs using "smallest file size" job option?

    Is there a way to change Acrobat X Pro's default PDF Save settings to use the settings in Distiller's "smallest file size" job options, or adjust Acrobat's default save settings to a close match?

    In Windows you select the printer in the Start>Printers menu and right click to get the properites. You can then go to the settings tab and select the smallest file size job options. When you do it in the printer settings, you have set the default. Be very careful with this choice. It typically reduces the image resolution and embeds no fonts. If you are not distributing the file, then probably not an issue. However, with distribution you risk many folks not being able to read the PDF because of strange characters and low-res image.

  • How do I change the default settings in a printer's Default Settings Preset?

    I am running Mavericks, printing to an HP LaserJet 4050N via IP.  [The following behavior takes place whether the printer's internal settings are set to Duplex Printing is On or is Off.]
    I would like to set the default to print duplex, whether I am in an application or 'drag and drop' a file onto the printer icon (which temporarily opens the application, prints the document, and quits).
    I do not seem to be able to modify the "Default Settings" Preset to specify duplex printing.  However, I have been able to create a new "Default Settings-1" Preset that specifies duplex printing.  By selecting the "Default Settings-1" Preset, in any application, I get duplex printing without any problem.
    First -- problem:
    If I drag-and-drop a file -- e.g., .pdf or .docx -- onto the printer icon, it opens the application and uses the "Default Settings" Preset -- not the "Default Settings-1" Preset -- and prints single-sided.  How do I get drag and drop to use the "Default Settings-1" Preset to get duplex printing?
    Second -- issue:
    Bizarrely, if I am in an application, select "Show Presets", select "Default Settings-1" and click on "Layout", it sometimes shows that "Two-Sided" printing is "Off" and sometimes that it is set to "Long-Edge Binding" -- but that seems to have no deleterious effect on duplex printing!
    Any suggestions / explanations for my problem / issue?
    Thanks much,
    Avi

    Other than using the CUPS interface, http://127.0.0.1:631,which it sounds like you've done, I don't think there is a way to edit the Default Settings. The standard approach is to create a preset, the solution you've found.
    For drag and drop printing, you should be able to get to the print dialog and select your preset or turn duplex on by holding the option key down, selecting the file, then doing the drag and drop (either to a printer or to an open printer proxy application).
    I realize this isn't a solution, but I hope it's helpful.

  • Acrobat 8: JobOptionsFolder / PDF Admin Settings in Windows registry

    Hello,
    Systems are Windows XPSP2, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
    We would like to share *.joboption files via a readonly server share (W2K3 Server).
    In the windows registry we find two values with the default path to the *.joboptions files:
    1. HKLM\Software\Adobe\PDF Admin Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
    2. HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\ , JobOptionFolder (Reg_SZ)
    both registry values point to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\"
    When we change these values to "\\server\share\", which is write protected by security settings, and copy the installed *.joboption files to this location, all seems to work fine.
    The users joboptions directory found here:
    HKCU\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings\, Default (Reg_SZ)
    pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
    we would like to leave as is.
    Will we run in troubles, if we share *.joboptions files as described? Problems known with readonly joboptions on a server share?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Roland

  • How do I edit the default settings to always embed fonts?

    How do I edit the default settings in Acrobat Pro XI to always embed fonts?

    Do not use the Std job settings, but use the Press or Print settings. You can also edit the properties of the Job Settings (best done in Distiller) to not exclude any fonts and embed all as subset fonts. Be sure to check the option to continue if embedding is not possible or your creation will fail if you used a font that is not licensed for embedding (Acrobat will only embed fonts that are legally licensed for embedding -- most are, but not all).
    If you edit the Std, you will need to save to a new name. You might use MyStd or such. Then go to the Start>Printers and edit the properties of the Adobe PDF printer to make that settings file the default. If you use PDF Maker, you will have to change the PDF Maker preferences also (PDF Maker seems to use the last selection, not the default in the printer). Hopefully that is clear enough.

  • When I print, resolution changes, can I reset Acrobat to default settings?

    I can't see any issue with any of my settings though shortly after reinstalling CS a month ago, Acrobat started printing to a much lower resolution than the PSD (or any application) is set to print to, though Photoshop may be the only one where I am actively looking into resolution issues because...
    Every resulting PDF I get is about 1x1", when I'm starting with a letter size doc (or any other size, they all shrink down that dramatically in Acrobat iwth the resulting PDF).
    Checking all resolution settings in Advanced Print Settings dialogs all -look- like they're fine. Is there a way to reset the whole shebang to installation default settings to help correct this traumatic happening which always happens just as I need to send a PDF off to someone of course.
    Thanks for your help in advance, I really appreciate any tips or if the default thing is easy, thanks! 

    Hi, thanks. Do you mean Save As - Photoshop PDF, or... how are you referring to doing that? 
    (Thank you for this!  I had taken to making screenshots for pete's sake, though this change happened suddenly, so ... I have no idea why printing to PDF suddenly didn't work and it seems it should be "repairable".)

    They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area.  The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader.  But the exact location is OS dependant.

  • PDF Print Settings

    Hi all,
    Can you please let me know where to find the settings for the following options:
    1) We are on BI 7.0 and we are using Portal to run the reports. After the report is generated when we choose the Print Version (to print to PDF), the dialog box that appears shows the Margins option in mm. I would like to default it to inch. It uses the '0ANALYSIS_PATTERN' template. Can you please let me know where to find this setting.
    2) I also have another problem while printing to PDF or Export to Excel. I have some column headings that show up in 2 lines. For eg: Curren Month / Actual. Here Current Month shows up in one line and Actual shows up in next line. ( There are not 2 lines, instead of showing the entire column heading too wide, we just split it). When we print, the second line is not showing up. Any idea where to do the setting for this in the template to show the 2nd line also.
    Thanks for your time,
    Ram.

    I'm interested in the resetting of the PDF print settings too.  Is there an answer to Ram's posting?
    Also interested in knowing where one would go looking if the "Print Version" button in a BEx Query works in Development and Production, but not QA.  QA gets a "(410) Unauthorized" with AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document" at the end of the URL.

  • Adobe Document Services - Default Settings

    Hi there
    We are providing users with the functionality to print their reports through PDF. This functionality is working almost perfectly (apart from the irritating fact that multi line cell headings are not printed), but what I have been requested to change now are the default settings that are displayed when the download starts.
    There is a screen that asks for the theme that should be used, and more importantly, the page layout ... it would be great if we could change those default settings, but I don't know where that is done ... any ideas?
    Cheers,
