Document Properties - Initial View

Is there a way to set the "Initial View" settings when creating PDFs rather than manually changing them all via the Document Properties dialog box?
Most specifically, I would like to set the Magnification to "Fit Page" for all the PDFs I create. I don't see it as something that can be defined in the Acrobat Distiller presets.
Haven't found anything about it on the forums after several searches.
Thanks.

Thanks, Dave.
I will check that epilogue.ps out.
Not sure why my searches of the forums turned up nothing.
I actually use the terms Initial View (among others) and it gave me zero results.
Obviously, your post should have appeared.

  • Set PDF Document Properties Initial View by Acrobat SDK with C#

    Hi,
    Here am trying to set the PDF document initial view by the Acrobat SDK with C#.
    Here I am show my screen shot which properties I want to set.
    For this process I am referred Acrobat SDK and also following Adobe forums they also asked similar question.

    And also I am used following C# code
          Acrobat.AcroPDDocClass doc = new Acrobat.AcroPDDocClass();
          doc.Open(@"D:\..\sap.pdf");
    doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");
          doc.SetPageMode(3);
          doc.Save(1, @"D:\..\sap.pdf");
          doc.Close();
    From the above code {doc.SetPageMode(3);} is working for set the page mode.
    But I am having problem in following code {doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");}
    Because it won’t work I do’t known, and there is no clear samples in the SDK reference document.
    So please give advice and clear sample code/syntax to meet above needs which are marked in red box.

  • Action Wizard - modify "Initial View" settings

    I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change the "Initial View" settings in the document properties using the Action Wizard.
    For accessibility reasons I need the Document Properties > Initial View > Window Options > Show settings to "Document Title" as opposed to the default "File Name".
    Any suggestions? i cant find a way to change this using the "Create New Action" options
    Thanks.

    It's under Document Processing - Set Open Options - Display Document Title.

  • Initial View + Viewing Through the Plugin is Inconsistent

    We have a set of PDF's that are all set with an initial magnification of 'Fit to Page / Single Page'.
    When browsing between documents in firefox + acroread plugin via links/bookmarks embedded within, the plugin will ocassionally change to an initial magnification of '125%'.  It does seem like it's more likely to happen if you use the bookmarks the swap between documents as opposed to links in the document text.  We've also tried setting the the initial view in the reader's preferences, however this seems to have little/no effect.  We can't seem to reproduce this if we read the pdf in an actual acroread instance, as opposed to the plugin.
    We have tried various versions of Adobe in the production of the pdf's to verify it doesn't have anything to do with what is produced.  We have yet to try Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1 to see if this has been corrected in later versions.

    Hi JasonMock,
    Fit Page layout adjusts the magnification level so that one page fills the document pane vertically. Therefore, the magnification level can be any value depending on a number of factors like the browser window size, any navigation panel is opened/closed etc. At any moment, Reader will try to fit the page in the document pane. So if PDFs are to be opened at a particular zoom level then try setting that magnification level (say 100%) in the File > Document Properties>Initial View settings from Acrobat.
    You can also try changing the size of the standalone acroread window to see the change in the magnification value in the Fit Page layout.
    Thanks,
    Swati

  • Safari 4.0.5 Update overrides Acrobat Document Properties Now :(

    I publish my .pdf usually with Password Security (printing allowed), Document Properties> Initial View: Pages Panel & Pages> Page Layout: Single Page> Magnification: Fit Page
    Now Safari appears to be overiding my settings: It is opening without Page Panel and it is Fitting Width.
    Does this ever stop...
    OSX 10.6.3, CS4 Acrobat Pro 9.3.1

    I originally reasoned this was a Apple problem, but now believe it may be a change in the Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in.

  • Is there a way to set the default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on word documents that I save as PDF?

    When I save my word 2013 documents as Adobe PDF I have to open the PDF up, go to File>Properties>Initial View>Navigation Tab and then set the initial view as Bookmark Panel and Page; it gets pretty tedious.
    I use Save as Adobe PDF rather than Print to Adobe PDF Printer because I like being able to have the security settings automatically set.
    I just want to be able to save my word document as Adobe PDF with the initial view already set as Bookmark Panel and Page, and with security, so I can send it out immediately.
    Is this possible?
    Thank you.

  • Initial View set in PDF Document not working.

    I have a PDF document w/Initial View in the Document Properties set to Navigation tab: 'Bookmarks panel and Page', and Open to page '1''.  However, when I send this document out, the Initial View settings do not happen (The PDF opens to the page last accessed before the document was sent and the navigation pane does not display).  Help - what am I missing or doing wrong when trying to distribute PDF?
    I am using Acrobat X Pro.

    It might be the settings in Acrobat that is causing the problem. Edit – Preferences…, under Categories select Documents. Uncheck Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

  • Initial View

    Hello Everybody,
    I'm having a little problem with the initial view.  Upon opening, my converted PDF document (Smart Draw) continues to open in Portrait instead of Landscape.  Ive created the original document in landscape before I converted to PDF.  I've tried various settings in Acrobat > File > Properties > Initial View...no luck, it keeps opening in portrait instead of landscape...any ideas.

  • Initial View for PDF Package

    I've created a PDF Package. I'd want to make sure that the documents in the package display on the left-hand side of the document pane when someone opens the PDF Package. There doesn't seem to be any option for that under File > Properties > Initial View. How can I make sure that the links to the individual files that make up the Package are showing when someone opens the Package?

    Default documents in PDF Portfolios - see my old blog.
    Showing the bookmarks panel (by changing the Document Properties) should work for a standalone file, but it won't change what's shown on the previews in a Portfolio.

  • Setting Initial View of .PDF when exporting from ID

    Hi,
    I use 5.0.1 and upgrading is not an option due to the IT department - don't get me started!
    I have created a document in ID with Bookmarks to aid navigation when its converted to a PDF.
    In Acrobat 8.0 there is a feature to set the initial view to open the pdf with the bookmarks tab showing - Document Settings > Initial View > Layout & Magnification > Bookmarks Panel & Page.
    Is it possible to set this attribute in ID without having to use Acrobat after creating the pdf? i.e when I export the ID file to pdf it is effectivly fire and forget.
    Thanks in advance all...

    No need to apologize - I'm a rookie when it comes to IS detail.
    I use Acrobat Standard 8.1 when setting the initial view and IE 7. There are no security settings set.
    I'm posting the documents on a web site and others that open to view are most likely using Acrobat Reader.
    Not certain what I should try next. I appreciate your help.

  • Properies - Initial view

    Want to produce a pdf that opens in full screen (so I can use transitions and have a clean presentation). But I also want to maintain a certain frame size (with black background filling the remainder of the screen). I go to File->Properties->Initial view and select a magnification of 75%. But it seems that opening in full screen mode overrides the selected magnification settings. Once in full screen mode however, you can hit "command -" to size down the frame (with black filling in the extra space behind it). Basically, I want to dictate the size of the content when in full-screen mode so things don't get blown up larger than I intended. Any thoughts?

    One can not modify the doc open options with a simple JavaScript command. It is possible to use the "batch process" to set the open parameters or add an "execMenuItem()". Using the "execMenuItem()" has the principal drawback that Adobe changes the menu item names and the names displayed on the menu bar are not the names used in JavaScript. So you may need to code this action to include testing the version number and passing a different name based on the version of Acrobat/Reader. You will also have to pass quoted strings, not impossible, but problematic for many users.
    Ok, running the script to find the menu command for the bookmark display is:
    ShowHideBookmarks
    Which toggles the bookmarks pane. I do not see any way to see the state of the bookmark pane so one must know the initial state of the navigation pane before using this command.

  • What happened to the Initial View options under Document Properties??

    What happened to the Initial View options under Document Properties? I just updated my Reader and it's no longer accessible! SOS.

    Hi kga406,
    Please tell me if you are able to access 'initial view' tab in document properties using Acrobat.
    You can change initial view settings only in Acrobat and can view PDFs in Reader with the same initial view as set.

  • Acrobat 9 Ingores Document Initial View Settings

    I've created a PDF from InDesign. I set Initial View Settings for the document in Acrobat 9. When I open the document in A9, the Initial View Settings are ignored. I then open the same document in A8 and it opens fine. I'm guessing there is a global setting in the A9 preferences, but I can't seem to find one that works. Please help.

    I apply the Initial View settings as I first create the PDF.
    I use File... Properties... Initial View.
    Depending on the length of the document, I make the first setting Page Only, Pages Panel and Page (most often), or Bookmarks and Page (if it is a long report and I am making bookmarks).
    I make Page Layout be Single Page.
    And I check Hide Tool Bars in the last group. (All commands are still available with menus, with much less real estate taken up by tall toolbars.)
    Then I save and close the document. Then I re-open it to make sure it looks as I intended.
    On my old computer, that always worked great and made a professional looking PDF.
    But when I downloaded the same product onto my new computer, this no longer works.
    I am using a workaround and hoping that when I upgrade on the new computer that the later version will work.

  • How to prevent editing a SharePoint site column value from document properties view of a downloaded document?

    Hi,
    We have created a SharePoint site column with below settings
    1. ShowInEditForm - False
    2. ShowInNewForm - False
    3. ShowInDisplayForm - True
    With the above definition, the site column showing only in view properties form not in New and Edit forms.  This column is added to a document library and updating this column value will be managed by event receiver code when a document is uploaded.
    Till this point, everything is working OK.
    But the issue is when we download and open a document from the above document library, under document properties the above column (with value) is visible along with other document default properties and  this column value is editable. With this issue,
    user is able to set a new value and overwrite the existing value by re-uploading the document.
    Could you please let me know how to handle this issue so that user should not be allowed to edit except viewing the value/property (read only)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Ramesh

    You can set "ShowInFileDlg" property of field to "FALSE". Using this you will not see that field in document properties list
