Inconvenient preview default sizes

Whenever I open an 8-1/2" x 11" portrait document in Preview on my MacBook Pro, the bottom of the text extends below my screen. I see that I can set a Preview preference so that 1 point equals 1 screen pixel. If I do that, the image is too small to read the text easily.
Why are the options either too big to see the whole page, or too small to read???
Why is there no quick, convenient way to get standard documents to automatically open at a convenient magnification?
Does anyone know a way to accomplish this?

Sorry no workaround as yet...
I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
- No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
- No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
- Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

Preview window size

I'm new to Encore DVD and need to create a Blu-Ray disc for a tradeshow. Upon previewing our H.264 content, the preview window letterboxes the video. All settings are checked for HD and 16x9. Is this the normal way preview handles 16x9 content? I was expecting the video to fill the preview window at the correct aspect ratio. Maybe I missed something. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can save a default size for the Preview pane. Bills' suggestion will work for the Monitor Pane.

Can you change the default size of the Clip Monitor window in PE 13?

Can someone please confirm whether it is possible to change the default size of the clip monitor window in Premiere Elements 13. Searching this question brings up a reply to someone who asked the same question about PE 7; the answer then was to open the clip monitor window, adjust its size and then leave it open for the duration of the editing session. Is this still valid for PE 13, or is there some other way of adjusting the default size of the window so that the next session opens at the same size as the last one? Help appreciated.

Just a supplemental observations
There are certain actions even in the project that remains open that will close the opened, sized, and positioned Project Window.
Also
1. If you go to dual monitor system, typically the program does not remember the dual monitor setup when the project is saved closed and reopened.
2. If you use the project without a dual monitor system and save close project with the Preview Window open, sized, and positioned, when you re-open the project, the Preview Window is gone and would need to be reopened, sized, and positioned again.

Mail Preview default font too small

Recently upgraded to Maverick and the preview font size for Apple Mail is too small. Can change this for individual mail using apple-+, however this doesn't set the default. Is there a preference to change the font or terminal command?

You can change fonts and font sizes in Mail by going to Mail Preferences > Viewing and checking the box, 'Use classic layout' at the top of the pane, then going to Preferences > Fonts & Colors to change your fonts and/or font sizes.
You cannot change the message list font if you do not use the 'classic layout.'

Text Edit Default Size

How do i change the default size of Text Edit fonts? I can enlarge the font size but when I open a new documnet the size reverts back to the smalller size.

The TextEdit preferences has a Font section (New Document tab) to specify the default for plain and rich text.

Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.

How to setup a default size for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

Hi,
how to setup a default size for a new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I don't need the default size for new divs as a 100% width, I need them 13.69% as a one coulmn width only (7 coulmns fluid grids layout for desktop size 1000w).
This problem I've faced when I intended to insert dozens of fluid grid divs in the layout.

Sorry, I don't believe that you have had a good look at the Foundation framework. I'll now hold your hand while we go through the basics.
Here is the specific page http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html
The default values are
Em-base : 16px
Row width: 62.5em (62.5em x 16px = 1000px)
Columns per row: 12
These and other default values can be changed. The fact of the matter is that if you stipulate a section width of 2 or 3 or 12 columns, the widths will automatically be calculated for you.
In your case, if you want 7 columns, all you need to do is change the number of columns per row and the rest is done for you.

Does anyone know the default size for 24 in. imac display?

I inadverently changed the display size on my 24 inch imac. The font in the toolbar at the top of the desktop is larger than I want. Also, when I open windows in different applications, they open larger than the display and have to be downsized in order to see the entire window.
Does anyone know the default size for this display? Or is there a different way to fix my issues?
thanks in advance.

Hi Napamike2: The default setting for the 24" is 1920X1200. If that doesn't get you back to the proper display, maybe you have accidentally activated "Zoom". To check go to System Preferences, Universal Access. Check that Zoom is turned off.

Please suggest how can I make the pdf default size of the page.
Thanks in advance.

> If i set the width and height 1000 px then there is a problem that other objects will not fit in the same page .
what is meant by other objects? is the part of same smartform that is not being displayed completely? Please clarify.
also I mentioned 1000px as just one value so that to maximize the page size. you can use various sizes and need to do trial and error so that PDF will be displayed in optimized size and it will be then same in all systems.
Thanks,
Chandra

How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
Can someone help me get this fixed?

This isn't the best way for it.
Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
It is very match for me by using 125%.
But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
that was a mess.
And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

How to set default size for .chm window?

I know there is an answer at grainge.org, but it seems to be
referring only to a .chm using skins, which I am not.
Anybody know how to make the default size of the .chm larger?
thanks, Leisa

Lacona,
The default window size is set in your windows properties
dialog in RoboHelp. It can also be set manually in the .hhp file
before you compile. If you open the .hhp file in a text editor,
such as Notepad, you will see a [WINDOWS] section and for each
window defined there will be a series of numbers. One of these is a
vector [in square brackets] that defines the original position.
These are absolute screen pixels.
In older versions of RoboHelp, one of which I use, there was
a limit to the size of the window RH would allow but when I changed
the .hhp, RoboHelp didn't try to overwrite it unless I reopened the
Windows properties dialog. I'm not sure how the latest versions
handle this but you might try editing the .hhp with Notepad and
then compiling the .chm.

How to set default size for published SWF in Catalyst CS5.5

I create a 800*600 pixel project in Catalyst CS5.5 and published it as .swf.
But when I opened the published .swf, the default size is smaller than 800*600. I have to resize it by myself.
So is there any method that I can set the default size for published .swf?
Thank you guys! Best regards.
Nick

When you start new Flash Catalyst project, you have the option to enable resizing
This setting is enabled by default.
If you need to change this later, you can go into Modify > Artboard settings.
Now when you publish your project, the width and height will be used instead.
As to manually editting the HTML file, there are 3 tag sets that define the width and height of the project (to handle various browsers). You will need to adjust the values in each of those tag sets. You should only need to do this if you can't republish the file.
