Keeping zoom levels

I've had two different graphic designers create pdf files for me. One opens to the correct zoom level and the other does not, no matter what I set the zoom level to in Adobe Reader. Is there a setting when creating the pdf to keep the zoom level consistent no matter what the Reader is set to?

Note that it's possible to set a user preference that overrides the document setting: Edit > Preferences > Accessibility > Override Page Display > Always Use Zoom Setting
The following is where you can set the default if the document doesn't specify one: Edit > Settings > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom

How to hold back zoom level setting?

Zoom level changes every time with opening page, & I want to keep already set zoom level ,as it happens in other browsers like Google Crome.How to keep zoom level always set ,at it's selected level? I tried with add on to solve this,but result was not so good.Hopefully you will help me...I enjoy FIREFOX..Thank you.

The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

How to keep the Zoom level in Safari 7?

There is only one big win that's making me stick to Chrome over Safari: The zoom.
In Chrome when you zoom in a page (With Cmd +) the zoom level is stored in the cookies, or the history, or somwhere, and it stays the same level when you open again that page in another tab or if you close and open again Chrome. This simple feature makes it tremendously comfortable to navigate in big and wide screens.
This feature by itself is going to keep me using Chrome instead of Safari with all the new fancy and cool stuff they added in the new Safari 7. And yes, there is a "Trick" by using a .css style sheet customed to make a default zoom in all pages, but it's not good enough because some pages need different level of zoom.
So please, someone, make Apple correct this issue. It should't be complicated, it's as simple as that Safari remembers the latest zoom level you left in a web.
Because I believe that if people are leaving Safari behind is because it lacks this simple tools that make life much easier. And I believe it's in Apples philosphy to make technology to help people, isn't it?

It never worked the way Chrome works in Safari 6 either, but at least Safari 6 remembered the zoom level you'd set in a particular tab. With Safari 7 Apple has made the situation even worse. Now after setting the zoom level you want, it's forgotten when you click on a bookmark, and the page reverts to actual size. It really is infuriating having to zoom in all the time, and the CSS trick and the various zoom extensions don't work properly. Safari is all but unusable for me because of this issue. I've complained to Apple many times about it in the past, but now I've given up believing it'll ever change. It seems that Chrome will forever conquer Safari thanks to an easy-to-fix issue Apple refuses to fix.

Hi, how can I keep the same zoom level for all the pages I view in Safari and even when I close and open it. Indeed with a 27 inch Imac I have a lot of space, most of the websites are built for smaller resolutions and my sight is dropping !   Thx

Why does not safari allow to keep the zoom level over the whole website? This is universal problem for all ipad browsers.

This is a big problem on sites like Tomshardware and Sweclockers and probably many more that Safari is not capable of keeping the zoom level the same over all website pages. And it makes the browsing experience on the IPAD an annoyance.
You have to constantly double tap to see the website clearly for each webpage load. There should be settings to allow to remember the zoom level
for a whole website. So you don't have to double tap on every new page of the website.
The other browsers like ICAB and Mercury are not handling this any better and seem to be limited by the webkit rendering options available.
It's instantly visible on Sweclockers and it becomes a problem on tomshardware when you click on a review link.
I have included pictures here that showcase the problem.

Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos

To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..
Because everytime i scroll to another photo, it always zoomed out by itself..
Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?

How hare you zooming? When I double click on a photo to bring up its full sized image and use the keyboards arrow keys to scroll thu the size stays the same? Is that how you're doing it?
Have you tried using the Full Screen mode?

Can I keep firefox at a 125% zoom level? I use my HDTV as a monitor and would like the view to be larger without having to hit "ctrl +" on each web page.

I would like firefox to default to a 125% zoom level. Is ther a way I can do this through firefox or through my desktop?

The following Add-on will allow you to set whatever default %-age works best for you. After install, go to Add-ons > Extensions > Default FullZoom Level > Options, in the Options window, "Default FullZoom Level (percent)". That will set ALL pages at your choice.

Make table of contents links keep current zoom level, not zoom out to full page

When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically link to the paragraphs the links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to that page. Great.
What's not so great is, that the hyperlinks / cross-references / jump-links / whatever that are created behind the scenes within the table of contents appear to:
...be automatically set to reset the zoom to full page width
...not be editable in any way
Normal cross references retain the zoom level that the user has chosen, and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings about what zoom level change (if any) should be imposed on the user, which can be set to 'inherit zoom'.
How do I set up a table of contents that doesn't annoy users by resetting their chosen zoom level to an artitrary default when they use the interactive table of contents?
I'm really hoping I don't have to ditch Indesign's table of contents feature and create every cross reference manually.

(editted) So it turns out that you can 'expand' a table of contents by copying and pasting it - this fills the hyperlinks panel with links that can be editted (like above) but breaks the auto-update - they're no longer a TOC, they're just a text frame full of links. (I had got different copies mixed up when I thought the frame holding the editable links was also auto-updating)
The greying out of the links was a red herring, just something to do with the fact they were on a master page.
It does mean that one possible TOC workflow is:
Create a TOC on the pasteboard somewhere.
Before finalising the document, update this TOC and alt-drag the 'live' TOC creating an editable 'dead' copy in an appropriate place in the document
Edit the link properties of the links in the 'dead' copy (don't forget that you can select multiple hyperlinks at once by holding down shift, and edit things like the Zoom Setting all at once with Hyperlink Options in the Hyperlinks flyout menu. )
Then, if you make other changes to the document later on, delete the dead copy, update and re-copy the live original, and re-do the changes to the new copy
This isn't a bad method - it just adds about a minute's work each time you export a PDF (delete, update TOC, alt-drag, shift-select the new batch of .XXXX links at the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel, > Hyperlink Options, Zoom Setting > Inherit Zoom, done).
Alternatively, you could manually build a TOC using cross-references if you want links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

Zoom level keeps resetting in Acrobat X

Can someone tell me how to set the zoom level to be constant? Everytime i open a PDF, the zoom level is reset (usually to a very low zoom level). And everytime i click a bookmark, the zoom level gets reset.
In preferences i have the zoom level set to "fit visible" but it does absolutely nothing...

When bookmarks are set up, they can specify a specific zoom setting, or they can inherit the previous zoom. So how they behave depends on how they are set up. You can use various preferences to override the intial zoom setting of a document, but not of "go to view" actions of bookmarks, links, bottons, etc.

Can I lock in a zoom level (e.g. Page View) so it won't change?

I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent Adobe Reader from changing my zoom level. I prefer to read with the zoom level set to Fit Page. Every time I click on a bookmark to jump to another page in the document, the zoom level changes to Fit Width (I think). This is extremely annoying because I have to keep changing the view back to Fit Page. In preferences I have put the default zoom to Fit Page, but that only determines how it comes up initially. When I click on a bookmark it changes again.
I don't understand why the zoom changes when you click a bookmark at all. Why would I want the zoom to change on me?
FYI, I'm using Reader XI (11.0.08).
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Thanks CtDave. I don't have anything besides the free reader, so I did some further research on the web and found a solution that is pretty "brute force", but is an option for others that only have the free reader. Here is a link to the full description:
http://superuser.com/questions/306803/zooming-size-of-pdf-files-and-bookmarks
Here is the basics: You can use a text editor and edit the PDF file. Once in the text editor you can search for /FitH or /Fit (there surely are other codes, but those are the only ones I know of). These are codes that tell Acrobat what kind of zoom level to apply to the destination of a jump. So the bookmarks should all have these. Simply do a search and replace with /XYZ. The /XYZ code tells Acrobat to leave the zoom level as it already is.
It might sound a bit weird, but I tried it on multiple files I was having trouble with and it worked great. Of course, my suggestion would be to make backup copy of the file before doing this in case something goes wrong.
Thanks.

How to setup a 'duplicate/mirror view' with a different zoom level?

Hi Photoshop Gurus,
I constantly keep zooming in and out of the same images. It drives me crazy to view it at normal zoom level and zoom back into deep pixels.
Is there a way so that I have a duplicate floating window/view that shows realtime editing of an image at a different zoom level? (Think of it like a display mirroring, but, I am trying to mirror the same document at a normal zoom level).
This is my scenario:
- I usually work with small images/icons.
- I zoom deeply into an image at pixel level ~3000%.
- Change some pixels and do editing
- Zoom back out to 100% to view how it looks normally.
- Repeat and repeat.
Can I always have a 100% zoomed view along side the same document?
Thanks for your help.

The navigator palette is just another document view. Open it, put it where you want, resize it, and you can use it to control (and see) what part of the docuemnt your zoomed in view is showing.

No zoom level controls on second monitor!

I use a second monitor to display a loupe view of the photo I have selected in the grid view, which is on the first monitor. I have always had the zoom-level controls (Fit, Fill, etc.) at the bottom of the loupe display on the second moitor, until I replaced my first monitor this week. Everything else is still the same, but I no longer have the zoom controls on the second monitor. This means that I cannot change the zoom levels that are availabel to me. I either have Fit or 100% zoom. Without the zoom controls on the second monitor I can't change the settings. Does anyone know how to get the zoom controls back (or why they might have disappeared)?
Thanks for any help.

Never mind. I found the problem (the second monitor was in full-screen mode). Nothing
to see here. Keep moving.

Want to set a default zoom level for safari? Here's how you do it.

If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
2) copy and paste in the following:
body {
zoom: 130%;
change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect.
Voila. Hope that helps someone.

Yes you are right!
This CSS zooming is a crude hack. I think it basically treats a web page like a pdf document where you just enlarges everything.
When you zoom manually, safari does a smarter sort of zoom where it enlarges but tries to keep widths of the elements the same size, reflowing text where needed and scrolling only when necessary.
If the web page has a fixed size that is smaller than your browser window, like this forum, css zoom works ok. But with a page like gmail, which has no width constraint, you get into trouble.
Hmm, wait, I just checked out wiki, which also uses up all available screen real estate, but does NOT have this problem.
Notice in gmail, even if you zoom way out below what should be 100%, the login is still off the screen. The font gets real small but the width of the page stays the same. The css zoom basically "sticks" and isn't completely reversible.
Bottom line: you have to decide which is more annoying: having to hit Ctrl+ for every tab you open, or running into some problematic pages.
On Windows, I use autohotkey (a kdb and mouse macro scripting program) to switch off the CSS on the fly when I need to. I think Mac has similar capability built in, right? If I were really clever, I guess I could program autohotkey to send a few ctrl+ whenever it detects a new window or tab in safari, but I'm not there yet.
Bottom bottom line: Apple needs to add this feature. It's a pretty basic accessibility feature. Doesn't Apple have like an accessibility guru/advocate?

How can I retain zoom level in safari Mountain lion for web pages in default folder

I have several pages I would like to load automaticly with a certain zoom level. When the page loads I have to constantly hit the command key then the + key so the page is large enough to read. I don't want to increase the font size but just to save this zoom level so next time I load this same page it is at the correct zoom level. I forgot to mention, how do I load several pages at once, Iquess this would be in my start-up folder or my default?
Thank You
John

Please send feedback to Apple. They do not read these boards.
This is a really annoying bug and I keep using chrome because of this.
Here's what I sent (feel free to copy and paste):
I am not going to use Safari until you fix a very simple annoyance which Chrome handles perfectly: It remembers the ZOOM level per domain.

Zoom Level Setting Does not Stay Constant

HP Pavilion dv7-6163us Entertainment Notebook PC
The zoom level is set at 125 but keeps changing as I go to different screens. It bounces to 150 and I have to cycle it thru 100 and then 125. It will not stay at 125 and I cannot find a solution to the problem. In fact when I ask a HP forum for 'zoom level' I get no responses. Sometimes the screen will be at 150 but the zoom level indicates it is at 125. I unchecked PINCH ZOOM in the mouse setting for Synaptics Touch Pad Device but it had no affect. In Opions, advanced settings I have checked the Reset Zoom Level (but could that be a problem?) This just started after I removed a program that was not working correctly.

zoom level keeps changing as i am typing..hate it sometimes to goes clear down to the lowest level..also i can't set the blinking curser to stop..it disapears when i go to use it..this is my second hp laptop and my other one did the same thing..drives me crazy....
