Configuring Page Display in Preferences

I have Adobe Reader 6.0 on a Win98SE computer. When I go to "Edit", "Preferences", "Page Display" comes up first. There is a section at the bottom "Magnification" with 2 boxes, Default Zoom, Max Fit Visible Zoom. Both boxes have question marks, other jibberish, what am I supposed to enter in these boxes? I keep on getting an error window saying "The value of the magnification must be "Fit Page", "Fit Width", "Fit Visible", "Actual Size", "Reflow" or it must be a value between 8.33% and 6400%", then won't let me make any other settings, I just keep getting the same error window. I am a non-techie so please make your reply easy to follow. Thanks.

Reader always opens, maximized, when pdf accessed through IE7. I have tried to re-size, close, and re-launch from browser but reader ALWAYS reverts to opening maximized. I can open Reader, minimize it, and then access a pdf from the browser and it will open inside the minimized Reader window but that is the only way I can open a pdf to a minimized Reader window from my IE7. How do I clear this or reset something so the pdf will open in a minimized Reader window? I've looked in so many different places for this answer over the past few days and nothing.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
DevStu

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!

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?

abdu wrote:
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.

Safari 6 doesn't display Apple Online Store Configuration Pages

This is very odd.
Since I've upgraded to OS X 10.8 Safari 6 will no longer display the configuration pages for any products available from the online Apple Store. It's not a big deal, since I'm not trying to buy anything. But it is a puzzle. What's even stranger is Chrome and Firefox display the configuration screens fine. I've tried clearing the caches, and resetting Safari but nothing works. Any hints will be appreciated.
The screen look like this:

After a bit more investigation on my part it appears Apple is blocking something because I am in Eastern Europe. When I enable my VPN I can configure BTO Macs, using Safari, to my heart's content. Still doesn't make any sense that Firefox and Chrome work without the VPN and Safari doesn't, but at least I know what I can do.

Page display:400 Bad HTTP request after implement WebDispatcher fo portal

Dear all
Our portal implement the WebDispatcher(7.0) to load balance for our
portal system(include one CI and one Dialog instance,we use HTTP to
load our portal request.).After that,some of the portal page display
the information like this:
400 Bad HTTP request
Bad HTTP request
Error: -21
Version: 7000

We logon the CI and the page all are right.So,some wrong with our
WebDispatcher?Can you give us some advice?

Hi,
The answer from SAP:
The maximum size of request URI is hard coded in kernel, and it cannot be configured by a parameter. The maximum size of PATH is 4096, and the maximum size of query string is 4096 as well.
If the request is a post request, you have to ask the calling side to move some name value pairs from query string to the POST body.
If it is a GET request, you have to ask the calling side to change it to POST and move value pairs to the POST body.
Kind Regards

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.

Page display in Reader 9.1

Hi
I like to have my pdf files open in Adobe Reader with the window maximised, the bookmarks in the left hand column and the pages displayed to fill the width of the remaining window space.
I have tried various settings in Preferences to try and achieve this but still find some documents opening differently. It becomes tedious to continually enlarge pages to fit the width of the window.
Can anyone tell me what settings affect the page display and how I should set these to display the pages to my requirement.
Eric43

I have tried that but still the documents return to their original state after closing and re-opening.
I have also tried every combination of preferences but no matter what settings I use the document still opens as originally viewed (usually one complete page view).
I can only assume that either the view is set by the author and is locked and can only be temporarily altered when viewing or I am missing something in the preferences settings.
How can the settings for an individual document be set to default?

PowerMac 7500 Two-page display

I recently had to move my 7500 while doing some room painting and after hooking it back up and getting it running, the monitor is now in a "two-page display" mode. I am using a Hitachi 15" display through a Liberty plug adaptor. I have tried everything I can think of to bring it back to a one page display, but to no avail. I haven't been able to find the set-up configuration for the Liberty switch settings, but to my knowledge they were not tampered with during the removal and reinstallation of the computer. Anyone have any ideas?
PowerMac7500 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

>"I recently had to move my 7500..."
You pulled the plug. Your PRAM battery is dead, and your parameters are corrupted.
Reset the PRAM:
Hold down 4 keys at startup:
Command Option P R
touch the power key to start up.
continue to hold the 4 keys until you have heard the chimes 4 times.
Release the 4 keys and it should start up normally.
Buy a new battery.

But, on the same computer I CAN access http://192.168.1.103 HP Officejet 6480 web browser configuration page with either IE 9 or Firefox 10
Why I can't access the web configuration page: http://192.168.1.104
Thanks
FYI: I set the router to various other network modes, channel widths, channels and ssid broadcast on/off, and also removed power from router and printer, reconnected power and restarted computer, all these efforts did NOT allow access to http://192.168.1.104
This question was solved.

On the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Wireless Setup Wizard. Run it.
Next, on your PC, delete all instances of your printer in Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Finally, re-add the printer this way:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Acrobat pro properties how to usefull screen mode and keep page display at 100%

I am trying to create a pdf that will open in full screen mode and be a self running presentation but will display at 100% or at the actual page size and resolution.
When full screen mode is selected and with 100% selected in the properties or with actual size selected in the properties, when the pdf file runs on large screen monitor it enlarges the page display so it is no longer at 100% of size or it actual size (pages are set up at 8.5 by 11 inches full screen mode on large 20 monitor make them enlarge).
Is there setting combination that can use the full screen mode and thus use the self running presentation but still maintain the image display size and correct resolution 100% at 72 ppi.

Not having problem with the pdf file autostarting, there are no movies or sounds in PDF file only transitions with auto flip are used. My issue is getting the file to display at correct size and resolution with the full screen mode also turned on in the document properties (running acrobat 9 pro on mac os 10.5.8). Using 100% or actual size or fit page in the initial view setting seems to not effect this when the full screen mode also is selected. I want the file to display at its correct size and resolution, I thought that using 100% vs actual size would make the file display at its 8.5 x 11 size or what ever size is used regardless of monitor size it is displayed on. PDF file seem to do this when the full screen mode is not used.
I thought that I had gotten this to work with full screen mode before, maybe this has changed with acrobat pro 9 on mac?
It seems there is no way to affect the display within the fullscreen mode. So for example if you set in document properties under the initial view the magnification to 50% when the the full view mode is checked it overrides this magnification setting this seems to be so if using the actual or the 100% setting. Yes the 20 or 27 inch monitor displays it larger and also distorted because the file resolution is intentionally kept at screen res 72 ppi because I need to maintain a small file size. This is not what I want to happen. I thought there was a way to control how the file displays when using the fullscreen mode. this is my making me crazy issue.

Actually what you are seeing is what it shows on your monitor. and will be different for each person's monitor. 100% on a 15" monitor is going to show much smaller than on a 27" inch monitor.
As for the autostart. On Macintosh only sound and movies are allowed to autostart, and even then only from computer or if your using Quicktime , or possible for music iTunes. PC's are the ones that allow anything and everything to autostart. I don't know if its as big an issue now oas when Apple begaan the policy. But it was apple actually looking after the users best interest. You see a lot of Virus, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware were installed using autostart commands so Autostart simply does work Now you could create a PDF to be burned on a DVD and sent to people, That can be set to AutoStart. but it would fail for your mac users. it doesn't take but a second for a person to click on a PDF to run it.
