Changing Page Display Preferences

Is there a way to change the page display preferences for all PDFs using the registry or something that can be scripted on install.
I want to hide the navigation panel buttons on the left and untick the "Create Links from Urls" checkbox..
Any help is most appriciated.
Thanks

I think I've figured out how to solve this pixelation problem. Apparently the problem is not specific to Acrobat, but can arise with some older programs that weren't designed for Windows 8 (see more here). The solution is to follow the steps outlined in that link: pin Acrobat to the task bar, right click and select Properties and then the Compatibility tab, then make sure the box next to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" is checked. Voila, now the Acrobat 10 interface appears in beautiful high resolution.
I hope this helps anyone who might have this problem down the road!

  • Page Display Preferences

    I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2 on Widnows 2008r2 and am having a problem saving my settings.  I am trying to change the Page Display preference Page Layout from Automatic to Two-up.  I set that preference and it works fine until I close Acrobat.  When I open it again the preference is set back to Automatic.

    Thanks but I am using  Edit>Preferences>Page Display but it will not say what I set it to after restarting the program.

  • Adobe plugin cannot set Page Display Preferences

    I have a lot of scanned documents and read them within IE 6.0 through a web interface using a custom solution. I have to use IE 6.0 so I can't just upgrade or use another browser, unfortunately. The issue is that now, all of a sudden, the documents open up in Fit Page view instead of Fit Width view. I have set preferences in the Adobe Reader application and tried to change them in the plugin window, but it never keeps it's settings. I have tried Adobe reader versions 6, 8, & 9 and they all do the same thing. I have tried changing the setting in the plugin then closeing everything and rebooting, but it still doesn't keep the settings. Is there a configuration file or a registry setting for the plugin that I can force a value? I've been working on this for weeks now and I can't think of anything else I can try.
    Thanks in advance

  • Can't Change Page Display

    Although I have changed the Page Display in Preferences to 100% it continues to open documents an the web at 164%.
    Is ther another setting for this??
    James.

    You are most likely viewing an ePub file.  The only controls are the font size controls, and the view will automatically move to a two page view when the combination of screen size/font size is enough to display the content in that view.  On my MacBook Pro this happens in a medium font view with the window maximized to full width.

  • Reader not honoring Page Display preferences

    Hello. I am using Adobe Reader X on Win7 Ultimate (x64).
    I have set the following in Edit - Preferences - Page Display:
    Page Layout:     Single Page Continuous
    Zoom:               Fit Width
    Resolution:        Use system setting: (96 pixels/inch)
    However, no documents will open fit to the width.
    I have experimented with various settings for the Page Layout, Zoom and Resolution, however, many times a document will not be opened fit to the windows width. What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Oh. I was afraid of that answer.
    I am generating this document using a system called LATEX (which I have no idea how to use). I figured out I have to add "pdfstartview=FitH" to the hyperref command, like this:
    \usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref} % For PDF clickable links - load this last.

  • No page display icons/can't change page display

    Just installed Digital Editions on a MacBook Pro; there are no page display icons to change the view (to side-by-side pages, or one, etc) and the keyboard shortcuts don't work either.  Any thoughts?

  • Messed up display preferences

    I'm trying to use my LG LCD tv as the monitor for the Mac mini, to be the hub of my media center. I hooked it up using the DVI to VGA cable, started it up and it worked fine, but I was losing the edge of the screen because of the overscan. I tried changing the display preference, and the display went black, with a "Invalid format" message on the screen. I didn't have a monitor, so I had to wait til the next day to get one, then tried changing it back. It works fine on the monitor, but the TV screen still shows the "Invalid format" message when I hook it back up to the TV. Any ideas, anyone? Will it work if I get a DVI to HDMI cable?

    With the LG attached to the mini, start up in Safe mode. That should give you a useable screen. Then go into Displays preferences and set the resolution where it was before the trouble started. Then restart normally and the setting should persist through the restart and you should be back where you began.

    As for overscan, check you TV's user guide to see if there is a setting to eliminate it. It's best to fix overscan from the display side rather than trying to do it from the mini's side, which may not be possible.

  • Page display resolution setting

    Many or all CS5 apps would benefit from the same kind of Page Display preferences that Acrobat Pro provides. It allows you to set page display resolution at the pixels per inch setting that will display content at true actual size (100pct viewing). By that I mean an 8.5x11 page on screen is the same size as an 8.5x11 page in your hand. It may be that Acrobat's default "Use system setting" figure (81ppi on my display) is all that's needed to get reasonably close, but InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc., don't have this ability. And Acrobat can be setting to any ppi that gets the job done. Print designers, especially, need true actual size to have a better feel for the scale of the physical piece and design elements on it, notably including type.

    That's a fair answer to a load of nonsense ...
    1. The original poster was not concerned about pixels, and in fact showed by his very feature request that he was acutely aware of the difference between pixels and real, actual, physical dimensions. The OP did not ask for, nor does he want, measurement in pixels -- in fact, he wants the exact opposite.
    2. There is no measurement unit called "pixel". A "pixel" is not a defined distance, and there are no online conversion tools to convert between picas or inches and pixels. If there are, they are a load of nonsense as well.
    3. Good news is that CS5 has, yeah!, "pixels" as measurement units. But ... since the pixel is not a really existing unit of measure, it's of no use at all and you might as well pretend (in your mind) what CS5 pretends on the screen: one pixel equals one point.

  • Display preference in Dock

    I need to change the display preferences very often. Is it possible to place only this one preference in the dock? Thanks.

    Is it possible to place only this one preference in the dock?
    Yes. Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ as the path, and drag that pane to the right side of the Dock.

  • How do i change the display in ADE to a single page view instead of two pages side by side? I find it distracting and prefer to look at one page at a time.

    You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

  • Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

    Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
    I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
    It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
    What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

    Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
    * http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
    I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

  • How to have Safari remember PDF display preference (two pages continuous)?

    I am using the built-in PDF viewer in safari and every single time I am a opening a link or document I have to right-click and choose "two pages continuous" (or at least zoom out) to obtain suitable display preferences.
    Is there a way to have Safari remember the last-used or preferred display settings for PDF? All recent versions of Safari (including Yosemite) have this problem.
    Thank you so much,
    Christophe

    Thank you most kindly Aandi,
    Exactly!! It boggles my mind sometimes ... I'm reading manuals all day long, running a dozen complicated applications (making movies, music for movies, and now 'books'), and my brain did not register the most obvious ... a dozen times I scanned that menu item. Tick, tock.
    You help is most appreciated...

  • One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there

    One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there. I have unlocked all the layers but still cannot access the content on that page. Thoughts?

    I'm using version 9.2.1. on a mac
    I'm helping edit some maps for the company I work for. The pages are regular A3
    The map part is not blocked, but the second page with the descriptions/text will not let me make any changes to it. I cannot select anything on the page including the images.
    I am trying to edit the text provided and rearrange the page layout accordingly.
    I thought this was a "layer" problem, but this does not seem to be the case.

  • HT4550 Why does my Safari open with American version and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preference

  • Why doesn't Page Display obey its setting in Preferences

    Using Reader 9.2. I have Page Display setting in Preferences set to 'Single Page Continuous'. Yet when I open a pdf, the Page Display is set to 'Single Page' instead of 'Single Page Continuous'. Why?

    I want to display the page the way *I* like.
    I guess there are two ways to look at that. Since they created it, maybe they want you to see it they way "they" like. That's the basic premise behind PDF. But yeah, it can be a bit irritating for those on the receiving end.
    abdu wrote:
    As far anyone is concerned, the document setting could have been a default setting of the pdf creator tool and the document author is not even aware of this setting!
    Probably not. The default setting is "default" which allows the viewer to control it with their preferences.

    So Adobe.. please fix this setting or add a checkbox to override the document setting.
    I think a checkbox is a fine idea.
