Initial View of PDF

I have created a variety of forms using Livecycle, now when I open them in Acrobat the search for attachment screen opens at the bottom of the screen, even if I close it and save the form it reappears the nex time I open it.

Hi Steve,
The link does not work.
Thanks

  • 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.

  • Initial View using PDF Portfolio HELP

    Using the new PDF Portfolio Feature. I went to file>portfolio properties and select initial view tab. I changed magnification level to "Actual Size", however when i open the pdf, the initial view is not 100%. Can anyone help me?

    I'm not sure what it means to set the Initial View of a Portfolio to a given size.  If I try setting the Initial View for either a Portfolio or a single PDF to 'Actual Size', when I come back to check the setting it always says '100%'.
    A PDF Portfolio will open up to a navigator that shows you various attached files.  I'm not sure what Actual size means in terms of a Portfolio, but all of the attached files are represented inside the Portfolio on Cards.  Depending on the current navigator your cards, and the files represented on them, may be various sizes, unless you are using the Freeform or Grid navigators which can have one of 3 different card sizes:  Large, Medium or Small.  With the other 3 navigators, Click-Through, Linear or Wave, the card will adjust to a predetermined maximum size depending on the size of the Acrobat Viewer window.
    Now, if it is a PDF that is inside a Portfolio, then when you click on it, it should open that PDF in the Navigator View at Actual Size if that is what you set for the PDF (not the parent Portfolio).  I made a Portfolio with 2 versions of the same PNG file converted to a PDF.  One of them I set the Initial View to Actual Size, and the other one I set to 100%.  Both of these open and view identically inside the Portfolio, as well as when I open them into Acrobat from within the Portfolio.

  • 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.

  • Define Initial View for PDF-

    Is there a way to define the Initial View setting for a PDF document within Photoshop? Right now i have to save the PDF file with Photoshop, then open it with Acrobat and change the "Initial View" settings in Acrobat…
    BTW: I'm sending these pdfs to others so, no, changing the General Initial View for Acrobat itself won't do the trick…

  • AppleScript to batch change 'Initial View' of PDF Documents Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi
    I'm struggling to write a script that takes a bunch of PDF documents and opens
    those in Acrobat 9 Pro. Changes the Inital View settings (ie. Page layout = Single Page and Magnification = Fit Page)
    and saves the changes.
    Is this possible with Acrobat and AppleScript?
    Is there an AppleScript Reference for Acrobat?
    Appreciate your help.
    Cheers,
    Alex

    Well, it says Acropbat Scripting ... didn't appear to me as Windows only.
    Will move it to the Mac Forum.
    Thanks.

  • Initial View set with epilogue.ps when exporting pdf from Indesign

    Hi all. After years of Quarking, Freehanding, Pagemakering and my favourite, Indesigning, i finally got down to investigating a one step solution to setting the initial view in pdfs.
    When distributing pdf 'layouts' and 'proofs' to clients i always set the pdf's initial view to fit page before emailing. It is simply the pro thing to do, and allows for a client to view the 'big picture' without having to first see a close-up of the top of a layout or design.
    In the same breath i would set a business card layout to open at 125% or 150% so they get a feel for the actual size of finished product.
    Well all these years of pdf proofing i have been hitting the old ⌘-D in Acrobat and manually setting initial view to fit page. Then ⌘-S and "bobs your uncle".
    Ready to email.
    Huge deadlines aside, this morning i woke up early, and decided to have a good look online as to what one can do to automate this small, but oh so repetitive task. Well reading about the prologue.ps and epilogue.ps, got me really excited, especially when i implemented a little postscript tweak to the epilogue.ps, and distiller saw it through beautifully.
    Alas my elation was short lived as it seems Indesign uses it's own 'distiller' so to speak and does not see the epilogue.ps.
    And i am definitely not going to start printing ps files to a 'watched folder'. I spent years distilling manually, and since Indesign and it's superb built in pdf-ing, i have never looked back.
    So looks like we are all gonna have to continue ⌘-D ing, till adobe picks this up and changes the build to accomodate.
    Just wanted to put this out there, and see perhaps if anybody has another take on this one. Am i missing something. If i am please let us all know.
    Many thanks,
    Rupert Pluck

    If you upgrade to InDesign CS5, there are two ways to export a PDF file: (1) For Print. This this does not include the option to set Initial View (2) For Interactive. For Interactive PDF's you can set the Initial View in InDesign.

  • 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.

  • Batch create multiple pdf's while using epilogue.ps for setting initial view and opening bookmarks

    Hi,
    I'm trying to batch create multiple pdf's from word files, and use the epilogue.ps file for setting the initial view and opening the bookmarks panel, but i keep getting no satisfying result.. i'm probably missing something fundamental.
    I've read some forum posts and adobe help posts explaining this, so i'm pretty sure this would be possible?
    Reference:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f0f.w .html  see advanced panel options

    System: Windows 7
    Acrobat: Acrobat X professional
    i've searched for and found a way to overwite the epilogue.ps file and have inserted the following:
    %  Insert your custom PostScript here...
    [ /PageMode /UseThumbs
    /Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
    /DOCVIEW pdfmark
    After that i checked my Adobe Acrobat preferences, and in the categorie 'Convert to Pdf' i selected 'Microsoft office word' in the select area 'Converting to pdf'.
    Clicked 'Edit settings' to allow creating a joboptions file (field: 'adobe pdf settings') which has the option 'Use epiloque.ps and prologue.ps' checked in the advanced section.
    So now i thought i would have everyting setup to create my pdf's, however, my view isn't changed to fit, nor are there any bookmarks or in this case thumbs (i used /useThumbs) visible.
    Did i miss something obvious? Is there a better way to test this? Any help would be appreciated!

    i like it about that ok in how to open my site

  • 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.

  • PDF through VBA: How to set Initial View?

    - Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (sorry we're a bit out of date)
    - MS Office 2003
    - MS Windows XP Professional SP2
    I am trying to automate the creation of PDFs from MS Word. I have succeeded. My VBA code works fine (have pasted it below). I can create a PDF, and give it a title and author.
    The problem I am having is with the Initial View settings, i.e. how the document opens. I want to hardcode:
    1. Show to "Page Only"
    2. Page Layout to "Continuous"
    3. Magnification to "Fit Width"
    The first I have done, using AcroExch.PDDoc's SetPageMode() function (although it seems to default to that even without doing this). I cannot, for the life of me, find any reference to the second and third, though. This must be doable, right? Be kind of weird not to have access to this in the API.
    Hours of Googling has thrown up three ideas I've discarded.
    1. AcroExch.App's SetPreference() function. This would presumably change preferences on the machine making the PDF, not reading it. I don't want to fiddle with other people's preferences anyway.
    2. AcroExch.AVPageView's ZoomTo() function. Ditto. I am not creating an app to view PDFs, just trying to configure the default for opening one I've created.
    3. An "undocumented" SetOpenInfo() in AcroExch.PDDoc. This looked the most promising for Magnification, but nobody seems to be able to get it to work, and it does nothing for me either. Someone somewhere even suggested it had been deprecated in later versions of Acrobat.
    So... what do I do?
    Thanks in advance for any pointers.

  • Exporting PDF's - Initial View settings?

    Hey all!
    Is there any way from InDesign CS4 to set the Initial View of the PDF when exporting your layout to a PDF? I would like to be able to set the display of the Navigation Tab, the Page layout, Magnification, and a few security settings. Is this even possible? Or do I just have to do this from Acrobat? This might be where developing a script for Acrobat might be in my future
    Much thanks!
    Eric

    That must be done in Acrobat.

  • Prevent pdf initial view settings from disabling my menu bar

    Some pdf files are configured with initial view settings to remove my menu bar and other toolbars. This is incredibly intrusive, and difficult to get those back unless you know the correct keyboard shortcuts. Most users don't.
    So please tell me how to permanently disable pdf files from asserting their own initial view settings on my viewing environment. I do not want to permit them to take over my window and get rid of my menu bars. I find that behaviour incredibly annoying.
    Thanks

    Sorry, you can set the default view parameters only for documents that the author has not specified a view option for.
    You might be able to write a plug-in that could change the open document action.
    Have you tried contacting the authors about this issue?
