Reader not honoring Page Display preferences

Hello. I am using Adobe Reader X on Win7 Ultimate (x64).
I have set the following in Edit - Preferences - Page Display:
Page Layout:     Single Page Continuous
Zoom:               Fit Width
Resolution:        Use system setting: (96 pixels/inch)
However, no documents will open fit to the width.
I have experimented with various settings for the Page Layout, Zoom and Resolution, however, many times a document will not be opened fit to the windows width. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Oh. I was afraid of that answer.
I am generating this document using a system called LATEX (which I have no idea how to use). I figured out I have to add "pdfstartview=FitH" to the hyperref command, like this:
\usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref} % For PDF clickable links - load this last.

  • Page Display Preferences

    I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2 on Widnows 2008r2 and am having a problem saving my settings.  I am trying to change the Page Display preference Page Layout from Automatic to Two-up.  I set that preference and it works fine until I close Acrobat.  When I open it again the preference is set back to Automatic.

    Thanks but I am using  Edit>Preferences>Page Display but it will not say what I set it to after restarting the program.

  • Changing Page Display Preferences

    Is there a way to change the page display preferences for all PDFs using the registry or something that can be scripted on install.
    I want to hide the navigation panel buttons on the left and untick the "Create Links from Urls" checkbox..
    Any help is most appriciated.
    Thanks

    I think I've figured out how to solve this pixelation problem. Apparently the problem is not specific to Acrobat, but can arise with some older programs that weren't designed for Windows 8 (see more here). The solution is to follow the steps outlined in that link: pin Acrobat to the task bar, right click and select Properties and then the Compatibility tab, then make sure the box next to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" is checked. Voila, now the Acrobat 10 interface appears in beautiful high resolution.
    I hope this helps anyone who might have this problem down the road!

  • Adobe plugin cannot set Page Display Preferences

    I have a lot of scanned documents and read them within IE 6.0 through a web interface using a custom solution. I have to use IE 6.0 so I can't just upgrade or use another browser, unfortunately. The issue is that now, all of a sudden, the documents open up in Fit Page view instead of Fit Width view. I have set preferences in the Adobe Reader application and tried to change them in the plugin window, but it never keeps it's settings. I have tried Adobe reader versions 6, 8, & 9 and they all do the same thing. I have tried changing the setting in the plugin then closeing everything and rebooting, but it still doesn't keep the settings. Is there a configuration file or a registry setting for the plugin that I can force a value? I've been working on this for weeks now and I can't think of anything else I can try.
    Thanks in advance

  • I can not find the display preferences tab to turn on video mirroring. Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to get my Macbook Pro to stream to a Samsung Smart TV.  I just came from the Apple Store and they told me I need to turn on Video Mirroring.  I went to System Preferences/ Display but can't find Display Preferences or the box to check for Video Mirroring. The only tabs are for Gather Windows and Detect Displays. It does detect the Samsung TV but how do I turn on the Video Mirroring? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I am using Lion (if that means anything.)

    Does the problem happen only with specific sites? If so, what sites? Also, have you tried testing the iPad on a different network to see if the problem goes away? It is possible that you may have some kind of ad blocker or anti-virus software that is doing something to prevent the ads from appearing on the laptop, which would explain why you're seeing what is probably a network-related problem only on iOS.
    Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, or have otherwise accepted the installation of an app from a website rather than the App Store, there's no known adware or malware capable of infecting it. If you have done one of those things, you should restore your iPad to factory defaults, and should not restore anything from a backup.

  • My monitor's resolution not available in display preferences

    Hi:
    I upgraded our Dual 1.0 Ghz G4 to OS 10.4.8 this afternoon. We use a ViewSonic VG150 LCD monitor on this computer, and the native resolution of the monitor is 1024x768.
    Unfortunately, after updating, the only resolution available in the display preferences is 1280x768, so everything is tall and squished.
    Is there any way to make that correct resolution available in the Display preferences panel?
    I used to have some problems with this monitor while running OS 10.3.7. When first starting the computer the monitor would look like it was at the wrong resolution, even though the resolution was set to 1024x768 in the menu bar. I'd have to switch it to a wrong resolution, then back to 1024x768 to get the monitor to look right.
    Thank you.

    Hi:
    Thanks for the info. It looks like either of those apps should fix the problem, though I was hoping there was a solution within the OS which would fix it (without having to buy something). I'm not trying to do anything out of the ordinary, just trying to get the monitor to run at the resolution it was designed for.

  • Safari pdf reader not recognizing page numbers

    Is there a way to code a link to a pdf so that Safari will open to a particular page within the pdf rather than to the front page?

    I think I've discovered the problem, but I'm no expert, so you'd have to test it or apply your knowledge to determine if I'm correct. The Adobe document I liked to says that you must use the format
    A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4" (with < and > symbols at the beginning and end to enclose the link.)
    for targeted links, and that you can't use "URLS containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), then you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations."
    The latter appears to be what you are doing; i.e., http://www.franciscan.edu/uploadedFiles/TopLevel/About/FactBook/FactBook.pdf#page=11
    So if you were to change it to the former method, it should work.
    As for testing, creating new User accounts is just like creating your own account initially: open system Preferences > Accounts and click on the "+" sign at the bottom left, give it a name and a password, then you can logout of the account you're in and into the new account for testing.

  • CF 8 not rendering page, displays a blank page

    Okay I have something that started to happen today and it
    seems others have seen it happening on IE. I try to go to a page on
    our site it doesn't display anything, just a blank page. If you hit
    refresh it works fine and continues to work as it should until you
    close the browser. If you close the browser and try to access the
    page again you will get a blank screen, refresh fixes it. Nothing
    in the code or on the server has changed since yesterday. But we
    have had similar reports of this happening to users hitting a
    submit button and getting a blank screen. This however is the first
    time I have been able to replicate the issue. I have tried this
    issue on IE, Firefox, and Flock and all give the same issue. Also
    there are no errors and any log files. Anyone know what may be
    causing this???

    We resolved our problem by adding memory to our server. We
    had a number of strange problems including the one noted above that
    were only resolved by restarting CF services regularly. The
    problems all went away after we noticed our server's physical
    memory was insufficient and increased it substantially. The
    application we have running on this server is pretty memory
    intensive (storing a lot of very large queries in APPLICATION scope
    variables).

  • Adobe reader not displaying the images

    I am trying to open pdf document includes with the images. Text is showing correctly but the images are grayed out. I can open same document with images in Nitro Pro but not with Adobe, that means no issue with the file damaging.

    Hi shahabk,
    Please make sure that Show Large Images in selected in the Page Display preferences. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Reader > Preferences (Mac OS), and then click the Page Display category. The Show Large Images option is about half-way down the dialog box.
    Best,

  • Page display resolution setting

    Many or all CS5 apps would benefit from the same kind of Page Display preferences that Acrobat Pro provides. It allows you to set page display resolution at the pixels per inch setting that will display content at true actual size (100pct viewing). By that I mean an 8.5x11 page on screen is the same size as an 8.5x11 page in your hand. It may be that Acrobat's default "Use system setting" figure (81ppi on my display) is all that's needed to get reasonably close, but InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc., don't have this ability. And Acrobat can be setting to any ppi that gets the job done. Print designers, especially, need true actual size to have a better feel for the scale of the physical piece and design elements on it, notably including type.

    That's a fair answer to a load of nonsense ...
    1. The original poster was not concerned about pixels, and in fact showed by his very feature request that he was acutely aware of the difference between pixels and real, actual, physical dimensions. The OP did not ask for, nor does he want, measurement in pixels -- in fact, he wants the exact opposite.
    2. There is no measurement unit called "pixel". A "pixel" is not a defined distance, and there are no online conversion tools to convert between picas or inches and pixels. If there are, they are a load of nonsense as well.
    3. Good news is that CS5 has, yeah!, "pixels" as measurement units. But ... since the pixel is not a really existing unit of measure, it's of no use at all and you might as well pretend (in your mind) what CS5 pretends on the screen: one pixel equals one point.

  • Rotate display is gone  from Display-Preferences

    I've had my new MacBook for a week connected to a DVI Samsung 17" LCD monitor. A couple of days ago I lost the portrait mode on the Samsung and checked the Diplay control in System Preferences. The Rotate tool is gone and only "show display in menu bar" is there.
    In doing all the Software Updates is it likely that 10.4.10 knocked out this capability on the MacBook? Has anyone else lost the potrait view on their second desktop? Pity, if so; it's one of the reasons I bought the MacBook over the Pro.

    The Rotate tool is gone and only "show display in menu bar" is there.
    I use a samsung DVI 19" LCD external display. On my display preferences the show display in menu bar is on the display control for the MacBook. It is not on the display preferences for the external display. In that window is where my rotate is. I also am running 10.4.10 and mine still works perfectly.

  • Adobe reader x Page Rendering Preferences not retained - ragged display

    Preferences>Page Display>Rendering>Smooth Text setting defaults to None, so the the rendering of PDF files on a LCD screen is very ragged.
    When I set the value to "For Laptop/LCD Screens" the rendering is spot on.
    However, this setting is not remembered when I exit the reader, so next time I open a pdf document I have to reset the preference settings again.
    Any ideas how to retain the settings, or is there a registry key I can set to do this?
    Note: This is on a machine at work (Windows 7) so possibly could it be due to administative permissions which doesn't update the preference settings?

    It is certainly possible that your SysAdmin has locked down your preferences.  Try some other setting and see if it sticks.
    Also, that preference is set by default in a normal installation - so again, perhaps your SysAdmin has customized.

  • Reader 11 Page display will not stay on "view single page"

    Hello,
    Running Windows 7 x64 Reader 11.0.0. When opening any pdf document it opens with page display on enable scrolling. I want it to always open on view single page.
    Under Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display the Page Layout is set to single page and Zoom to fit page.
    Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Pretty sure that is how i have had it set since Reader version 2 or so.
    Thank you,
    Mg.

    Until Mozilla straightens this out, you can go to:
    Tools > Options > Security > Unclick "Block reported web forgeries"
    That should give you relief

  • How to have Safari remember PDF display preference (two pages continuous)?

    I am using the built-in PDF viewer in safari and every single time I am a opening a link or document I have to right-click and choose "two pages continuous" (or at least zoom out) to obtain suitable display preferences.
    Is there a way to have Safari remember the last-used or preferred display settings for PDF? All recent versions of Safari (including Yosemite) have this problem.
    Thank you so much,
    Christophe

    Thank you most kindly Aandi,
    Exactly!! It boggles my mind sometimes ... I'm reading manuals all day long, running a dozen complicated applications (making movies, music for movies, and now 'books'), and my brain did not register the most obvious ... a dozen times I scanned that menu item. Tick, tock.
    You help is most appreciated...

  • Why doesn't Page Display obey its setting in Preferences

    Using Reader 9.2. I have Page Display setting in Preferences set to 'Single Page Continuous'. Yet when I open a pdf, the Page Display is set to 'Single Page' instead of 'Single Page Continuous'. Why?

    I want to display the page the way *I* like.
    I guess there are two ways to look at that. Since they created it, maybe they want you to see it they way "they" like. That's the basic premise behind PDF. But yeah, it can be a bit irritating for those on the receiving end.
    abdu wrote:
    As far anyone is concerned, the document setting could have been a default setting of the pdf creator tool and the document author is not even aware of this setting!
    Probably not. The default setting is "default" which allows the viewer to control it with their preferences.

    So Adobe.. please fix this setting or add a checkbox to override the document setting.
    I think a checkbox is a fine idea.
