How to see the first page in "fit to height" mode by default?

I am customizing Acrobat at several levels (custom plugins, JavaScripts, etc.).
Every time I open a document, the first thing I do is to click on the "fit to height" icon, and frankly, it is getting a little tiresome. I am also trying to determine exactly what kinds of things can be achieved with JS, which ones need to be implemented by a plugin, etc.
In reference to the "fit to height"... can this be done:
- by passing some parameter to Acrobat at startup?
- by embedding some JavaScript which "presses a button" on the toolbar for me?
- by COM, or COM-type remote control?
- by having a plugin make the configuration every time a document is opened?
Let's say that I want to have a specific configuration at Acrobat startup: a limited number of toolbars being visible, etc. Is this an appropriate task for JavaScript (obviously the opened document will have to contain some appropriate JavaScript code)? Is the plugin functionality up to this task?
Doesn't Acrobat have a configuration file? If Adobe doesn't provide it, should I implement it myself?
TIA,
-RFH

Depends if you are executing a menu item or if you are in the web browser interacting with the PDF Open Parameters or if you are using JS in web browser to do it via IAC to the ActiveX control.

Hi Mithun,
Here are a few points related to performance issue. These might be helpful.
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of records returned
( If a SQL query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated?
Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated
in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to
SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100
records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest
factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports. Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page
of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested. It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports.
SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set. It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.

Shweta

How to delete the first page from a large number of documents

Hello all,
My company has migrated from Adobe Acrobat pro 8 to 11. In version 8 we had
used Document Processing to remove the first page from all pdf's within a
directory (5000+). This process took about an hour.
Now my research has led me to use Actions in version 11, however it appears
that the action require each document to be open and saved (one after another)
in Acrobat in order for the first page to be removed. This thrashing has made this process very
slow to the point where it's useable.
Is there any way to run actions from the command line
so time isn't wasted opening up each document in Acrobat?
Is there another way to quickly remove the first page
from a PDF in bulk?
I'm outside my expertise area here, so if you need any additional
information let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Indeed, batch processing in Acrobat XI is inferior in many ways to what it was previously.
To answer your questions:
1. No.
2. Yes, it can be done using a stand-alone app much more quickly and more efficiently, but it's somewhat more complicated to develop such an app than to set up an Action in Acrobat.

How to display the first page alone first and two pages (back and front) then ?

Hi
I use acrobat 9 (beginner).
I have a document which should be displayed "as a book", ie two pages on the screen at the same time, the back of the first sheet and the front of the second one.
The problem I have is to manage to display the cover sheet as a single page (alone) and then to have the dual page layout as described above.
How could I do that ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Bernd
Thanks a lot.

Having issues with docx files that contain images. I can only see the first page of a multipage docx (the docx only contain images)

I'm trying to open a file for school on my ipad. The file is a 14 page document that is text in the form of an image (i.e. someone scanned the document and pasted into micrsoft word). When I open the file (docx format) in safari I only see one page. If I save the file on my computer as a .doc I have the same problem. If I save it as a pdf, I have no problem viewing it. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if so, what they've done to solve it. I use my ipad heavily for school, and do not always have access to a computer, so a solution that stays within the ipad would be best, although at this point i think my best option is to save it as a pdf on a computer to view on my ipad.

Hey all,
I solved this problem. It was not a code-problem but a printer problem. This code do not work on a BrotherHL1660e-printer. On all other printer I tried it works fine.

In my portfolio, one document of 6 pages, only the first page appears and i can't move to the other

Am making
up a portfolio of different pdfs. 1 document has 6 pages, but I can only see the first page. When I worked on it at home, an arrow
appeared at the bottom of the first page by which I could move to the other pages. Now here at work, there is no arrow and it is just stuck on the first page. I am working with Acrobat X.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Bernd,
We saw an "Attach Files" button on Laura's page the other day, though others of us could not figure out how to display it. It is apparent to me that Laura and Cathy have this "Attach Files" button showing up in their reply pages, but it sounds like this is happening in error. Laura provided this screen capture:

Report from SQL Query -Excel format only show the first page

Hi,
I have some Reports from SQL Query. In the display options, I choose Excel as default format. The Excel documents only show the first page. If I choose HTML as default format, it shows every rows.
Please advise on how to have a complete Excel document as HTML format does.
Thanks a lot.

I beleive when you export Oracle reports to Excel it is the Data that is transferred along with Column Names.
You cannot export the variables defined on the report.
Hence you will not be able to export the Footer to excel. (Still looking into it will let you know if i find anything interesting)

My company recently loaded foxfire and I cannot have two applications open in foxfire, the second page overlays the first and I cannot go back to the previous page or reduce the first page to view the first.

My pages in Foxfore are overlaying one another which is normal but you cannot get back to the previous page. An example is if I have a page opened in a program and open something totally different it replaces the first page and I cannot reduce the size to see the first page I was viewing nor go back to it. I did open a page with audio and opened another application in foxfire and the replacing went on as usual but the audio continued to play so the page is stinn there. Also the tool bar page showing icon is replaced with the newly opened page not an additional page opened being shown as a tab. It's like the newest page or site I open in Foxfire replaces the one that is currently opened.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first had sites opening with Foxfire
