Initial View settings not always working

A user recently reported this problem:
She opens a PDF for the first time through our website by click a link on an HTML page in IE. The PDF opens in a new browser window to the default view and first page, as specified in the initial view settings.
She advances several pages into the file to a page with links.
She clicks one of these links, which takes her to another page in the file.
She closes the browser window.
She returns to the original web page and clicks the link to the PDF again. The PDF opens to the LAST page viewed -- not the first page as specified in the initial view settings.
I'm seeing the same behavior on my PC. The versions of Acrobat Pro and Reader I have are 8.1.3. I've tried turning on and off the web browser settings in Acrobat and Reader (Allow fast web view and Allow speculative downloading ...), but I'm getting the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Miles

Thanks, Bernd. I forgot to mention in the original post that the "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option IS disabled (unchecked), both in Acrobat and Reader. The behavior described occurs with this option disabled.

Faster Full-Name Viewing in List View - does not always work

A little while ago I discovered the Tip (from the Apple Pro tips page) on how one can view the entire file name when in List View and the name is too long to view without widening the column.
One can just roll the mouse over it and wait. But, one can also use the Option key to bring up the full title right away.
Sometimes, I have found though that NEITHER method works. I hover my mouse pointer. Nada. I hold the Option Key and roll over file names. Nada. It seems likely that it is a software issue, some conflict, but I have no clue at to what, yet.
Just before I started writing this, I could not get the Faster Name Viewing or, the roll-over and wait method to work. I had been thinking it took a restart to revive the function. But, then I went and tried File Name Viewing, again and it worked as if there never had been an issue. I had done nothing between it not working and working again except start writing this post.
Anyone have any thoughts or info?

Fixed.
A and B sort of had a different set of controllers.
I did not realize that the using the sort requires an explicit call to CALL_VIEW to show the page again. I thought it was all automated.
That was the problem.

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.

Acrobat 7 Pro, Script to Automate "Initial View" Settings

Can you create an Applescript that let's you batch define Acrobat's 'Initial View' settings under the Document Properties of an existing PDF?
I am not familiar with scripting language and enable the UI feature of Script Editor, but it didn't seem to record my actions. Photoshop's Actions don't allow me to define these specific settings.

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?

Windows 8.1 folder view settings not saved

Hello, Everyone
Windows 8.1 Each folder view settings not saved what i can do.I
want different view settings in each folder likes folder 1 i want large thumbnails & folder 2 small
What i can do to resolve the issue thanks in advanced.
I don't have any backup no system restore I also try to rest or restore default view settings but none are working for me.

Hi,
This is default behavior. It is not possible to set Windows Explorer to remember individual folder view settings for folders included in libraries. All libraries and its included folders share the same view.

Web Intelligence is not always working well

i found web intelligence is not always working, sometime, when i try to open a document, it takes so long, sometimes, it is fast, sometimes when i try to refresh the report, it gives me error, i am wondering if someone knows what could cause this kind of issue? is it proxy? or something else?

Tara,
there are many factors that can cause slow performance. In those cases where it is sometimes fast, it may be due to caching -- another user recently requested the same report and the report is in the server's cache, so instead of running the report from the start it sends the cache to you. In other cases there may be no cache built up so you get stuck waiting for cache and your report comes up slowly. There are a couple of techniques for tracking down slow performance, but mostly it happens due to either a database problem or an overworked applications/web server, or poor communication/LAN/Network lines. Depending on your expertise you'll gravitate to checking that aspect out first and investigating one of the aspects to see where a bottleneck is getting produced. Another technique is to add -trace to your service startups to add more verbose messages to your logs. Adding trace will help you to see more of what is going on in the background. I guess it's a matter of digging in and following your instincts until you can nail down the culprit.
Thanks,
John

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.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
that have been imported from another catalog.

Bottom button is not always working.

My Iphone bottom button does not always work. Is there a way to fix that.

You mean your home button?
If it intermittently works, then you either have to get it cleaned out or fixed. Back up your iPhone and take it into an Apple Store.

The Back arrow does not always work, particularly with Amazon and eBay sites.Even the on-page Back arrows do not work either.

I am using version 15.0.1. Since I updated to this version, the Back arrow does NOT always work particularly with Amazon and eBay. This is particularly evident when I go from a list the result of a search to an item on the lis. I cannot get back to the list even using the On-page Back arrow. I usually have to repeat the search to get back to the list again.

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work. I used to be able to do this.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.
