Bookmarks and Inherit Zoom issues

Currently using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
Why is there still no option to set the default zoom level while bookmarking? My work requires documents/bookmarks to be set to the "Inherit Zoom" option. Currently the only way I have been able to find to correct this is to set every bookmark individually. Not hard to do but when you have to set this for 1000's of bookmarks it gets very tedious and frustrating. Not to mention is a huge waste of time.
Please tell me that I have overlooked a feature to set or allow me to change this.
(I have seen posts of this nature but all seem to be out of date and none that referred to Adobe XI)
Thank you!

No, you didn't miss anything. Here is a third party tool that picks up the slack though. There is a try-out version of it so you can test it to make sure it does what you want but the description seems in line with what you want to achieve.

Setting each Bookmark to Inherit Zoom is Painful!

Acrobat! I know you’re out there. Please listen!
Manually setting each bookmark to Inherit Zoom is painful! Literally!
My arm aches with each of the 8 clicks it takes to set EACH of the HUNDREDS of bookmarks in EACH document.
Please allow the one who creates Bookmarks to select what will be the DEFAULT for the document or for the application. I would dearly love to be able to set my default Bookmark to Inherit Zoom, what a fabulous time-saver that would be. And much less painful! I continually look for something to help me in this effort to no avail. I'm pleading with you to make this happen. My arms were not built to do this same repetitive motion for hours on end! It's pretty boring too, if it were not for the pain, I would be asleep.

Achilles77 are you saying that in Acrobat X the default is back to inherit zoom? If that is the case, then all of the issues we have been dealing with in the earlier versions would be resolved. I have been experience the same issue in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but since I am on an office computer, I can't load X until they authorize. Please verify that the default zoom for all new bookmarks is reset to "inherit zoom" and not "fit page width".
Thanks.

Some bookmarks won't do Inherit Zoom even after I edit them to Inherit Zoom

I have a PDF with many bookmarks, most of which are OK. But two of them won't use Inherit Zoom (even after I edit them and set it to Inherit Zoom).
I have two others that work OK when I click on bookmark, but when I link to them (TOC, for example), they don't use Inherit Zoom (even after I edit the link and bookmark to Inherit Zoom).
How can I deal with these four problematic bookmarks?
Thanks, Art

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Bookmarks and zoom of pages

I created a pdf file with a lot of bookmarks with Acrobat 9 Pro.
I set the pages zoom as "fit to the window".
But when I use a bookmark, the page opens in a larger zoom to focus on the bookmarked object.
This I don't want. Fit to window is what I want.
I found that I can change the bookmark property with a right click - actions - edit - zoom. For each page individually.
But I want to change ALL the bookmark related page zoom as "fit to window".
This doesn't work because the property dialog always presents the page number. So, when I change the
zoom, all the bookmarks lead to the same page!
I want to change ALL the bookmark's related zoom at once, but without changing the bookmark's target.
Is it possible?
Thank you!

…surely it must be one of the over 110 features Apple removed.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that.

My bookmark tab will briefly show my bookmark list but then goes blank. Retry and get same issue.

i see the outline of the bookmark dropdown but it is blank inside. when the dropdown worked yesterday it left the listing of bookmarks at the bottom of the browser page and i could not get rid of them unless I closed the browser

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do I create a link to the middle of a page with Inherit Zoom?

I keep going around and around on this. I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and I'm trying to create an internal link in the PDF to go to the middle of the page somewhere else in the same document. I don't want to change the user's zoom level.
I can create a bookmark that does this by adding tags and having the bookmarks created from those tags (which is a ludicrious process, but at least a way). But links don't seem to attach to bookmarks or tags.
I can create a link that does exactly this by creating a document in MS Word, using styles and links to those styles and then saving it as a PDF. So I know the PDF itself can do this, I just can't figure out how to do it through Adobe.
Is there any way to create a link to a tag or to a bookmark? Setting a link to Page View always changes the zoom level, and then if I change the zoom back to Inherit Zoom the link just goes to the top of the page.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Chris

Hrm, I feel like I'm just missing something obvious. Here are the exact steps I'm taking:
Have zoom level up high enough so you're only seeing part of a page.
Click "Add or Edit Link"
Draw a box around the text.
Link Appearance:
Link Type: Invisible Rectangle
Highlight Style: Invert
Link Action: Go to a page view
Click "Next"
Scroll down so I'm looking at the middle of the next page.
Click "Set Link".
Right-click on the link-box and click "Properties..."
Click "Actions" tab and then "Edit" and change the Zoom to "Inherit Zoom". "OK" back to the page.
Change zoom level, use the hand icon and click on the link.
I'm taken to the top of the correct page and my zoom level doesn't change. I am not taken to the middle of that page, though.
Do you experience different behaviour?

Controlling the page view between initial view, bookmarks and links

I have a 300 page InDesign document with links, buttons and bookmarks. The client wants it to open at an initial view of 50%. All of the other navigation is set to Inherent Zoom. This works well except the bookmarks which automatically switch to fit in window. (The bookmarks were made in InDesign). This happen whether they are used from the nav buttons (set as anchors) or using the side panel bookmarks for navigation.
If I go back and try to reset the view in bookmark properties in Acrobat it seems to add the 2 magnifications together.
Is there a way to set the bookmark to be at 50%? I tried going back to InDesign to set the bookmark when the magnification is at at certain % but that didn't seem to work either.
thanks!

I assume that you were referring to setting browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.
Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" and "Firefox > Options" menu and in toolbar context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.

How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?

Can someone help me?How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

How can I restore previous session while fixing Bookmarks and History will not be functional...error?

I was working with two windows and 8-10 tabs in each window when my Firefox became unresponsive, and I received a string of JavaScript error prompts when I attempted any activity in the browser (such as scrolling). After about an hour of being unable to interact with Firefox at all, I Force Quit (on a Mac) the application.
When I opened Firefox again, it was taking a very long time to boot, and the process was locking up my computer, but eventually, I did receive a Restore Previous Session option. I tried restoring, but one tab in each window would stick and fail to load, causing the browser to freeze up yet again (one of the tabs was a Google search result page, which is completely benign). I had to Force Quit *again* and then a couple more times as I kept encountering the same issue.
Finally, I decided to restart my computer. I ran into the same problem. Then, I restarted again. Once more, the same problem. I actually tried restoring my session maybe 20 times before I ended up with the error: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq
I've followed step 1, which didn't work. I haven't proceeded to step 2, because I know I will definitely lose my previous session along with all recent history. I *need* to bookmark at least two of the tabs as they are of critical importance--one of which is a special URL that I cannot recover by any means.
Before I continue to step 2, is there any way that I can grab the URLs that were in my previous session and stash them somewhere to manually restore after fixing the error?
By the way, the crashing started when I tried to visit mail.google.com--typing that address in a new tab started the JavaScript errors when things had been running smoothly. I actually closed out several tabs when attempting to reopen my session, just trying to get things up and running again (and Save All Tabs) before I ran into the database error. I never got the opportunity to save my tabs.
I'm running Mac OS X Lion. Help?

Follow-up: I'm worried about performing any actions without input, because I don't want to back myself into a corner.
Will resetting Firefox fix the problem (instead of creating a new places database)? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
According to this article, a reset will keep browsing history, which should allow me to access my lost tabs IF it will also fix my database problem.

I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Zoom issues in IOS 8

I am having the same issue with the zoom, once I triple tap to activate zoom works fine for a bit then the whole OS seems to lock up, at which point I have to restart the iPad and then triple to to turn zoom off, by the way this happens on both the iPad and iPhone, this issues really needs to be fixed.
Now with the other issues of the zoom going from full screen back into windows mode, I think I found a work around. I Noticed this issue several months back I would go into settings and change it to full screen mode and at some point it would go back into window mode, when I checked in setting it was still set to full screen so I would uncheck it then recheck it want back into full screen mode for a bit and would go the same. Then I noticed it only happened when the keyboard was called it would window the screen and keep the keyboard at normal size when I finished with the keyboard zoom stayed in window mode, this in my opinion is a bug so this is how I fixed this issue for anyone who is having the problem.
1 Go to settings-General
2 Go to accessibility
3 Go to Zoom
4 turn on Follow Focus
5 Turn on Zoom Keyboard
This should take care of that issue, I do not like the keyboard being on zoom but that is the only way for now to keep zoom in full screen. Once I did this it has never gone into Window Mode again. What I do is zoom when I want to see something and triple tap out of zoom to use the keyboard.
This is my issue with Apple again IOS 8 seems half baked, I expect bugs in any OS that is the nature of the beast, but issues like lockups and things going in and out of modes seem to be nothing more than laziness on Apple's part.

Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 - Comparison with Picasa and Canon Zoom Browser

I have recently bought a new computer and connected it to a USB hard drive which contained all my photos and a copy of an Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE) 4 catalog which permitted me to run APE 4 directly from the USB drive. The new computer runs on Windows 7 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. When I attempted to open the old catalog, created in APE 4 APE 4, APE 7 needed to convert it. The converted catalog then needed to reconnect with files and this took hours because APE seems to be incapable of sorting this out automatically. On the other hand Picasa 3 dealt with the matter in minutes and Canon Zoom Browser dealt with it in seconds. Why is this? What are the advantages of using APE 7 over Picasa 3 or Canon Zoom Browser?

John McQuade wrote:
I avoid keeping photos on the C Drive of my computer because of adverse past experiences of losing data when problems arose and it was necessary to reinstall Windows. I prefer to use two separate hard disc drives connected to my computer using USB ports so that I have all photos and catalogs on each drive. PSE catalogs appear to be drive letter specific so that a catalog created on one drive will not function if simply copied to the other. In PSE-4 I overcame this problem by opening the copied catalog and changing all references to drive letters. In PSE-7 I am unable to open the database and my goal is to find a quick and efficient way of modifying a copied catalog so that it functions on a drive different to the one on which the catalog was created.
Finally, and at long last, a kindred spirit that won't keep photos on the OS drive. I was told as recently as >> yesterday << that my post about saving photos anyplace else but "C:/" was "non-sequitur".
Second, I'm sort of accustomed to "USB drive", as a synonym for "flash drive", and "Ext HDD" referring to an external HDD, (this makes sense, at least in my twisted individual perception), so accordingly, I apologize for my knee-jerk lecture about it. (In hindsight, perhaps the only child in me is expecting too much also).
I never use external HDDs, but rather install additional HDDs internally to accomplish the same net result. My sensibilities here are, they are quite a bit less expensive, they do the same job, and you don't have addional s*** laying all over the place.
IMO, you are overthinking the database issue. I get to say that since I have no such ability to do so, and additionally, I have never been unable to reconnect a catalog other than within the normal Windows environment.
Therefore, I suggest changing the drive letter(s) to that of the old drive(s), and remain in blisslful ignorance as to whether PSE-7 is using the SN# or Drive letter to do its "dirty work".
As Mr. Ellis has pointed out, you're trying to do too many things at once. I'm going to suggest an "experimental" fix which is sort of backwards from Mr. Ellis', but retains the same spirit.
Install PSE-4 on the NEW machine! Insert its catalog file into its (PSE-4) correct folder. This location can be found by "Help" > "System Info".
Upon installation, PSE-4 will generate a new catalog, "My Catalog", therefore you must change the old catalog's name, (say "My Catalog 2"), to avoid a conflict.
You might have to change the "compatibility" mode for PSE-4 several times, before PSE-7 will be able to follow the file path.
As an additional note, since PSE-7 is technically, (according to Adobe), "incompatible", you can match its compatibility mode with PSE-4's, at the onset. After you have stabilized the system, change PSE-7's mode back to whatever works best.
If you need any more info on these operations, please feel free to post back.
I would like to add, that my PSE-7 in Windows 7 runs poorly in comparision with the same program in the XP environment. This seems not to be "typical", but IMO, worth mentioning.
Please also bear in mind that you can paste the entire catalog file into the "Open Catalog" dialog box, and PSE will place in its folder for you...!
Then, assuming the HDD letters are the same, it will reconnect "instantly", or in the case of a PSE-4 ".psa" cat file, PSE-7 will convert it, then open it instantly.
As an afterthought, by changing the drive letters, then pasting the .psa file into the "Catalog Open" dialog box, you do not have to make any additional installations of PSE, nor muck about in any database.

PDF optimizer destroying bookmarks and links

Help. I am trying to reduce a PDF book from 730MB to under 700, so it can be published on a CD. Reduce file size cannot be used as it reduces resolution of images too much. The pages need to print out well on home printers as they have detailed charts.
I am on Acrobat 8. The PDF was produced by InDesign 5.0.4.
I am using PDF optimizer but it is destroying my bookmarks and hyperlinks, though not consistently.
My images and embedded video take up 98% of the space so I only need to compress the images slightly.I have set image compression to 300, Jpeg2000, Lossless.
I have made it compatible with Acrobat 8. In Discard User Data and Discard Objects no boxes are checked, but the boxes with these titles on the left are checked.
In Clean Up settings I have 'Compress document Structure', with 3 boxes ticked - use Flate (2 boxes), and Optimize for fast web view.
What can I do to reduce the file size slightly but keep all bookmarks and links?

I'm running Acrobat 9 Professional. There may be some differences if you are running another version.
Do you have View/Page Display set to Allow Scrolling when you create these bookmarks/links? This will allow you to set Bookmarks with part of the next page showing. However, when you click on a bookmark it will take you to the top of the next page.
This is a "feature" of the software and I think there is nothing you can do about it. You can add actions to your bookmark that will zoom out and zoom in after going to the destination but these only approximate the actual destination. Using Named Destinations will not work either.
A better way would be to create your bookmarks from the Structure of your document (i.e., the Tags Panel). Bookmarks created from the Structure will allow the display of more than one page. The heading or other tagged content that is bookmarked will appear at the top of the display. The Action will look the same in the Panel, but the Bookmark has a different effect.
Interestingly, Set Destination seems not to be an option for bookmarks created from Structure.
