Default view size/location for files in Preview?

Hello,
This is probably a stupidly simple question, but is there a way to set the default location and size of all pdf files opened in preview?
I know how easy it is to set window parameters in the finder: simply resize the window before closing and it remembers the new size/location. Preview will remember the location when the app remains open, yet when I quit the program and open the same PDF file again, its back in its original location, which somehow got set off center on my 2nd monitor so it cannot be read without constantly adjusting upon opening. (example: http://www.avartists.com/Picture.gif
As you can imagine this can get VERY annoying. Any help in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

Deleting the plist file had no effect whatsoever with my Preview. You can try it if you want. If you have custom settings of various sorts you can just move the plist file to the Desktop, then start Preview. If the annoying behavior is gone then you can toss the file on the Desktop and keep the new plist file. If it still behaves the same way and you want whatever preferences you had set before, just quit Preview and move your original file back, say yes to the "replace dialogue" and you're back where you were.

  • Default View Size In My Own Template

    I have created a template of my own called “My Template” and have set it to open automatically as a new document in preferences. Everything works great except it opens at 100% view size I want it to open at 150% view size, I’ve tried saving it as a template to the templates folder as the same name as above and it retains all my changes except view size. Is there any way to save the default view size of a template so it opens at 150% ? When I save a template as a document it remembers my view size and reopens at the larger saved view size but my saved template reopens at 100% not matter what I do!

    Actually my mistake I just read the instructions for pasting the text below into the terminal window and then press "Enter" NOT "return". I was pressing return which didn't work so the line of code below does work to set the default Zoom on a template.
    defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
    Complete instructions below:
    1. Go to Applications > Utilities, and double click the Terminal icon.
    2. In the window that comes up, paste the following text:
    defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
    3. Press the enter key.
    Next time you open Pages, the zoom factor will be 250%.
    (If you want some other zoom factor, just replace "2.50" with for example "2.25" for 225% or "0.50" for 50% and so on.)

  • Default Viewing Size

    Since upgrading from CS5 to CC images open with a default viewing size that is very small, like 3 - 5 %.  Can this be changed to "Fit to View"  I know that it is just a case of COmmand-0 to make it that size, but one less thing to do would be nice.
    Thanks
    Craig

    Here's what I think is happening:
    1.  You didn't realize that the Application Frame is just an option, so you dragged the bottom up so that Photoshop is a very short window.
    2.  You later turned off the Application Frame while it was very short.
    3.  Under some conditions, now Photohshop still thinks it wants to open documents and make them fit in the (now hidden) short application frame.
    Try this:
    Re-enable the Application Frame.
    Stretch the bottom of the Photoshop window down so that it (nearly) fills your screen.
    Disable the Application Frame again.

  • Size limit for files uploaded to htmldb_application_files

    Hi,
    Is there any size limit for files which are to be uploaded to htmldb_application_files (and then stored as BLOB in db)?
    Regards,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    the only limitation is that the BLOB data type is 4GB
    large.
    So you can store max. 4 GB data in BLOB.Did you mean BFILE? Depending on the version, size limit is between 8TB and 128TB, as in the 10g2 documentation:

  • Setting A default view per location per user VSM7.6

    Hello
    Is it possible to define a default view for each location per user with VSM 7.6 ?
    In other words, I would like for a user X , once logged, when he hits any location name, he gets a default view composed of all or a subset of the cameras with the secondary stream .
    Is this possible with VSM7.6 ?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    First enable that end user can set rows per page displayed. (that you did disabled)
    Run page. Set rows per page to report to 10.
    Save default report from action menu.
    Then disable that end users can not set rows per page.

  • Problem viewing and printing PDF files in Preview

    I have a document that was created in Adobe InDesign (CS4) with a photo that was converted to Grayscale from a CMYK image in Photoshop (CS4).
    That document was then Exported from InDesign as a high print quality PDF.
    Now when I open the file in Preview the photo appears on the screen as a "Negative" or "Reversed" image. And if I print the document, it too prints as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
    I don't know if this matters but if I send this document in Apple Mail it too previews as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
    Other that this photo everything else in the document (text and color logos) displays and prints fine.
    Any ideas?

    I have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
    It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
    If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
    10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour.

  • Help with Multiple libraries and one storage location for files

    I cannot get an answer to this question anywhere and was really hoping that The [H] would be able to help.
    Here is my current set up that allows my wife and I to have completely independent libraries and ratings, but use the same files:
    -Shared folder with MP3s on a network drive.
    -Two PCs, each with it's own Ipod associated to it with individual libraries but all pointing to the same network share for MP3 Files.
    -Each PC is using the SAME Itunes account for downloads.
    -Each account has it's own library folder also on a network share.
    Now to my question(s)/problem with downloaded content:
    (1) Is there any way to have a file that is downloaded from Itunes be automatically placed in a shared location accessible to both Libraries? (Say if I download the latest Jack Johnson album, can it automatically show up in my wife's library and vice versa?)
    (2) Is there any way to share the album artwork versus having two copies of everything(one for each library)?
    So my goal is to have two libraries with a central location for ALL files, including anything downloaded from Itunes by each individual user. Is this possible?

    Have your wife transfer all purchases from the iPad into iTunes, backup her iPad and then sync with iTunes. Everything ... All media and other content will be available in that iTunes library and she will have a current backup.
    Assuming that your son will still be sharing your wife's Apple ID (he is too young to have one of his own) .... When you set up his iPad, restore the iPad from your wife's backup and then select only the content that you want your son to have on his iPad in the iTunes library and then sync that iPad with iTunes.
    The game progress is stored in the backup and should transfer onto his device when you restore from your wife's backup. You can always delete any content (apps, movies, music) that you don't want your son to have on the iPad, if you missed it when you synced with iTunes after setting the device up for him.
    You can set your sync preferences - any way that you want to - for both devices and still use the same iTunes library for both iPads. So ... Yes you can sync any apps that you want to his iPad and any apps that your wife wants to her iPad. You just need to restore your son's iPad from your wife's backup in order to get his game progress onto his iPad.
    In case you need these....

    If you remove the default selection View As Icon  for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

  • Default block size used for Apex Database

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone has an idea on the default block size that is used for the database that ApEx uses?
    Cheers!
    Steve

    The block size is determined by the Database installation and Tablespace configuration and not by APEX, and the default in the database installation is the OS block size I believe.
    Are you talking about the XE database installation?
