Prevent PDFs from Changing Adobe Window Size & Position

Some PDF files have embedded codes to change the size and / or position of the Adobe (or Reader) window. This is a very irritating "feature" and is completely unnecessary, at best. I have looked through the various Preferences setting but nothing seems to address the problem. How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

Thanks guys. Is there a way to prevent this action globally, i.e. for all documents, rather than just document-by-document after the fact? Any well-designed software would have a way to prevent documents from messing up my screen configuration, so I assume someone at Adobe had the wherewithall to have that as an option in Acrobat.

  • I am using MS XP Professional Ver. 2002 Service Pack 3. I have created a Limited User Account for my nephew because he tends to experiment and screw up the computer quite often. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent him from changing any setti

    I am the System Administrator of my computer. I have managed to limit most of what my nephew can do via general Windows functions. However, I need to prevent him from changing his Firefox Options (listed under the Tools menu). He has already changed items that leave my computer vulnerable and although I've explained to him that he should not change anything in the Options area, he continues to do it. If there is not a way for me to prevent him from changing anything in Options, then I have no alternative than to prevent him from using the computer at all. I hope it doesn't come to that.

    Maybe taking away his privileges will could teach him a valuable lesson------respect other people's property!

    I operate on Windows 7.

    Pat,
    I can find no such folder on the C: drive.
    I have managed to restore my original Adobe Reader by restoring my system to its condition a couple of weeks back before the problem occurred. (My problem occurred when I tried to update the Adobe Reader.) This original version of Adobe Reader works O.K. again so I'm loath to risk uninstalling it - which is what I was asked to do when I tried running your suggested program' below!

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

  • Prevent user from changing calendar permission

    Hi team,
    How to prevent users from changing calendar permission in outlook. When user open calendar option in Outlook he should either he should able to view the calendar sharing tab or he should not able to make modification in calendar permission by assigning permission
    to others.

    Hi,
    Agree with Andy. Exchange has no built-in feature to prevent mailbox owner to modify their calendar permissions. Since they are owners, they can set their calendar permissions.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • How to save edit settings under preferrences to use when creating or printing a PDF from word 2003 Windows PC 8.1

    I have tried to save my PDF settings after editing them, but when I go to "Print" to PDF and check the settings I keep getting Standard default settings.
    There is no Adobe PDF listed as a file heading to change conversion settings on my Word screen.
    I have tried to create a PDF by open file through the Adobe application and also by trying to print through the Word application with document open and using Adobe PDF as the printer driver.I have changed or edited the settings but they do not appear as an option to select, just the standard default settings.
    I have been able to save my setting as a Adobe PDF job options, but can't access them or use them when it comes time to convert to PDF.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I have apprached it 3 different ways:
    - by opening acrobat and going to preferrences, clining on  convert to PDf
    - Microsoft Word, then changes each section of the edit settings, ie
    general, fonts, images, etc make the cahneges then hit OK, at this point I
    get a save as option rather than a save. It saves my changes as a PDF, but I
    am not able to access it when I go to make the PDF.
    - I also have tried to print PDF from Word  and got to properties to make
    the changs with the same results as above.
    - Then I tried yur suggestion and went to the printer in the control panel
    and had the same results.

    shouldnot be if they want me to really experience the full effects of the
    program.

  • Change horizontal window size in XMonad?

    Hi!
    I just installed XMonad and I like it really much. It's possible to have two rows of windows and then change the border's position in X axis with ALT + H and ALT + L. But is it also possible to change change the size between two windows in a column?

    You should be able to do this with XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile from xmonad-contrib, which is in community.

  • How difficult would it be to write a code that prevents sites from changing your homepage wtihout u knowing it happened?

    Today I had the unhappy experience of a company or site I visited that installed three programs I didn't want. I uninstalled all of them in windows control panel (]remove programs). This however did not solve my problem.....no matter what I did I could not get startpage to come back. I did many things like go to tools and options and type it in close out and open and it was still not there. Finally my grandson uininstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and it was back.
    My question is: Can you not write a code in the software that prevents this from happening and when people install Firefox ask them if they want this feature or write an ad on. Please this problem grows every day it gets worse. Before all you had to do is change it back now one can not get rid if it so easily.
    We really would love this feature ask anyone.
    Susan and TY for listening.

    Thanks You for your feedback. However this is support forum, You should suggest new features trought ''Help -> Send Your opinion'' or [https://input.mozilla.org/pl/feedback/firefox/31.0/ this website].
    By the way there is method described in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences this support article], maybe someone using Windows will write user friendly guide how to do it.
    All I can tell you is that you have to lock ''browser.startup.homepage'' to ''about:home''

  • Prevent PDF from converting to FDF upon submission?

    I have created a pdf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro that has fillable forms. I have a submission button at the bottom that sends completed form via email directly to me. When I receive the forms they come in an fdf file format. I've done something simple to the form before within Acrobat 9 Pro that prevents it from converting to the fdf file but I cannot remember how I did it! I did not use any scripts or anything that kept it as a pdf once submitted/sent.
    I just need help remembering a SIMPLE few steps to the settings of the Acrobat file that prevents the form from submitting an fdf file.

    George_Johnson when you mentioned the Submit Form action it clicked and I remembered how I did it!
    Clicked Edit Form Fields
    Right clicked on my submission button and clicked Properties
    Click Actions tab
    Clicked to highlight 'Submit a form'
    clicked edit
    Under Export Format, clicked PDF The complete document
    Thank you so much!

  • Remembering Window Sizes/Positions in Windows 7

    Hi
    I've read this thread regarding windows folder position/size (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/5b524d53-df97-405d-835f-f081d106a19b)
    however it doesn't address my issue.
    For me, anytime I open a software, position it, play around in it and then close it, and reopen it again, it never goes back to the size/position I set it to. Same with Outlook. When I open a new email window, set its size and position, the next new email
    window is never where it needs to be.
    Is there a way for windows/outlook to remember where my software windows should be based on a position/size I give it?

    Hi,
    I would like to share the following link with you.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235994
    You can know that how windows remembers the Window size.
    Regarding your outlook issue, you may close outlook then delete the frame key from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Message\ and restart outlook. This will reset the window to the default size.

  • How  to change default window size?

    I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
    how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
    time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
    the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
    gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
    always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
    default size that it opens to each time is larger.
    Thanks for any help,

    The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
    Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
    I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
    To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.

  • How do i prevent Dreamweaver from changing all of my pages?

    Hello, thank you in advance for your help!
    I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and have downloaded a free CSS template (www.freecsstemplates.org).
    I created my home page and moved onto the second page - as i wanted the same theme i simply copied and pasted the HTML code and CSS code into a new document, when i made changes to the layout on the second page, the same changes were applied to the home page.
    Is there anyway i can prevent this from happening?
    Many thanks!

    Let me begin by saying I'm not a huge fan of these templates.  The code is somewhat bloated and it's not even an HTML5 doc. 
    That said, open your HOME page.  Go to File > SaveAs > newfilename.html.
    Make required changes to the text only.  Save again.
    NOTE: Any changes you make to the external CSS file (style.css) will effect all pages in your site.  That's how global CSS works.  If you need a page specific style for page 2, embed it into the <head> tag of your document like this.
    <style type="text/css">
    Your page specific styles go here....
    </style>

  • Preventing iTunes from changing ID3 tags

    When you highlight a song's name in iTunes and then click it again you can rename it. That's something that bothers me because I often misclick and accidentally rename songs I don't want to from the first place – I suppose I'm kind of careless – and I'm looking for a way to prevent me from further editing a song's ID3 tag even when click again its tag. Now I guess, what could help me is pretty much something like the lock that you can find on System Preferences so I can lock the iTunes interface and then unlock it when I actually want to rename a song's ID3 tag – something generally preventing changes also works with me as long as I can still use "Get Info" (cmd-I).
    I don't know if there's a simple setting which gets toggled on and off that simply, but if there isn't I guess someone could recommend a reliable plug-in which can help me in what I'm looking for. I googled it but couldn't find anything related to this subject.
    I'm using 10.5.8 and 10.7 iTunes.
    Thank you.

    I know it's not there in my older iTunes version and I've not heard mention of it in any other version.
    If you find you have accidentally edited a field and you haven't left it yet, press the escape key to undo it.
    Make sure your file names contain the basics.  I format mine to: Artist - Album - TrackNumber TrackName.[extension]  If I lose a tag I can at least get the basic information from the file name and the rest off a web site (and some tags cannot be so easily edited).
    It sounds like a lot of trouble but I imagine if you did as you mention and actually lock the file in Finder that would stop it from being edited.
