"Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
- Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
- Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
- Is there a way to work around the problem?
I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
Thanks,
Michael

This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

  • Restore Last View Settings and Max Window

    When I check "Restore last view settings when reopening documents", and if the window was maximized before it was last closed, the window will start at a place slightly below the top bar (where you see "file", "edit" etc.), leaving a gap between the top bar and the window.
    However, if I turn on Dock hiding, this problem goes away. But I do not want to turn on Dock hiding.
    Are there any way I can solve this problem? Thank you!
    (I hope I am posting my question in the right place.)

    I am using Mac 10.9, by the way.

  • Restore view settings when reopening document

    Hi
    I have checked the 'restore view settings when reopening document' in the preferences as I was under the impression that this would restore the document to the last page I was reading when I closed the reader. However, it doesn't, it always opens the doc at the first page.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? How do I fix it?
    I am running Win 7 64-bit, I've tried running reader as administrator but that makes no difference.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hey fellas!!
                   I noticed the same issue while reading a novel.So,posted a query and came across your disscussion.Some of my pdfs were doing fine but some were not.I compared the document properties of both the type.Limitations on a pdfs display depend on the producer.If you a viewing a pdf produced by adobe in Adobe reader then it'll work optimally.In case it's not working,then check out the producer and use a compatible reader.
    e.g : My problematic pdf was created using Foxit .Fortunately I had the unused foxit software in my system for some time!I Installed it today and it worked like a charm.Easily available through google search and loads faster then adobe reader!
    P.S.  Looks like our queries have been resolved.But I would love to know of a way to open such files in adobe reader.(Thogh I dont think adobe will take responsibility for some  me know alternative producer).So if you happen to find a resolution just let me know here : [email protected]

  • STILL CAN'T RESTORE LAST VIEW SETTINGS

    Hi. I have read all these forums and tried all suggestions. I have repeatedly checked the 'restore last view settings' button under settings.

    Have you tried View>Page navigation>previous view.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Since Reader X previous view tool not working with linked documents

    We have many linked pdf documents. After upgrading to Acrobt Reader X we can´t go back to the parent document by using the "previous view" command. In older versions we can use this function to navigate back. Is there an option in the preferences to reactivate this possibility?  

    I have been told by Adobe support that this is not a bug, but a security feature.
       Our company has, over many years, developed for our most important software application a PDF help system with hundreds of books and thousands of pages. There are myriad links between and within the books. In order to make navigation through this morass easier, we have provided our users a starting "Main Menu" with links to the books. We also set it up so that only one PDF is open at any given time ("open in same window" option), otherwise a user could end up with hundreds of open PDF documents on their taskbar or desktop. We also have our users take advantage of the "Previous View" mechanism to make it easier to navigate while keeping only one window open at a time.  (The browser "Back" button trick will not work with PDFs that have been closed).
      However, Since version X of the Reader, the Previous View mechanism will not work with PDFs that have been closed. That is, you can only get back to a previous view in another PDF if it is still open. As mentioned above, this could leave our users with hundreds of open PDFs, and thus it is not an option for us. But Adobe has ignored our pleas.
      You must vote with your feet; that is all Adobe understands. Adobe does not care about our needs and we have given up on them. We are currently telling our users:
      "If you use a non-Adobe PDF reader, you will be able to install it on a system alongside any version of Adobe Reader, including version 10. We have found that Tracker Software makes an excellent free product called PDF-XChange Viewer, which may be downloaded HERE. PDF-XChange has a smaller footprint, is faster, and has more features than Adobe Reader, including a 64-bit version for Windows XP/Vista/7.
      To set up this program to optimally use our help system, go to Preferences, and under "General," specify that the Documents Layout be Single rather than Multiple. Then you will be able to use the Alt keys with the arrows, or the Previous/Next View buttons on the toolbar, with closed PDFs."

  • HP AiO on iOS7 document capture not working with iPad2?

    Has anyone else found that the Document Capture does not work with the latest version of HP AiO Remote on iOS7? The app grumbles about "The document capture feature is only available if the camera on your iPad is over 5 megapixels" - any solutions to this problem as we have about 95 iPads out in the business that need to use this function regularly

    Hi VijayJois,
    I understand that you are getting an error message when trying to use the capture feature in HP's AiO Remote app.
    The capture feature in the most recent version of the app will give the error message that you are seeing.  A work around to this is to take a photo instead of using capture.  The photo is now available in the AiO app in your camera roll to send to the printer, or send via email.

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

  • "view image" menu option not working with jpg correctly

    When I right click on an image in my browser, I can select "view image" and the image by itself will pop up in a new tab. This still works for most image formats, but has stopped working with the jpg format.
    Say I go to google's home page, right click on their logo, and select view image. Since their logo is not in jpg format, the logo image will appear in a new tab, and the URL will show the location of that image (in this case, http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2a_cp.png)
    When I try to do this with an image in jpg format, it asks me what I want to do, and gives me the options:
    1 - Save file
    2 - Open with windows photo viewer
    3 - Open with (other)
    In trying to make it work right, I selected "open with other" and selected firefox. This almost works how it used to work, it opens up the image in a new tab... but now, instead of showing the URL of the source image, it shows the location of the file on my computer. So for example, if I go to tinypic.com and find the jpg image (http://i56.tinypic.com/nd9d75.jpg). If I right click on that image and select "view image", it opens by itself in a new tab as it should, except the address bar displays (file:///C:/Users/Joe/AppData/Local/Temp/nd9d75-3.jpg) instead of it's web URL.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? And/or how I can get firefox's behavior to go back to how it used to work for jpg's in this capacity, like it does for other image formats?
