Set custom default window size for opening Preview?

I'm using a terminal-based text editor, and when I compile LaTeX files, I have a script to open the compiled pdf in Preview. The trouble is that Preview opens in the same default dimensions every time, which covers up other applications I have open.
It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have Preview open flushed right and as half the width of the screen every time. Since I'm opening and closing it so often, moving it and resizing it every time gets really annoying.
I realize this isn't a built-in option for Preview, but is there any way of doing it using Terminal or otherwise? I've googled around and haven't found any satisfactory answers yet.
Thanks!

Hi zazi,
Each window opened takes the size of the previous window opened.
Its possible to zoom in and out as well [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages]

You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.

How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document

How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document?
When I open an existing document it always open too small, I resize it but next time I open it it's small again! Please help! I used to be able to resize them then they stayed that size until I resized it no matter how many times I opened and closed it before upgrading to 3.0!!!!

This document can help you set the print settings for any type of printing. Not just for photos as the title suggests. You should not have to keep setting it every time.

How to set the default maximum size for java's heap?

Hi!
Im trying to set the default max size for the java heap - but not from the command line.
I would like to set it higher as default on my computer.. how can I do that?
thanks!

>
...You may increase the memory heap only when you're launching a new JVM.>Much like IWantToBeBig does.
OTOH, it this is an app. with a GUI, it is easier to launch it using webstart, and request extra memory in the JNLP descriptor (the webstart launch file).

Desire a default window size when opening 2nd Firefox window, when 1st window is a narrow news streamer

Hi,
When I have a Nasdaq ticker running using firefox, then any time I open a new firefox window, it defaults in size to the small ticker window size. I then have to resize the window.
Is there any way to have firefox always open to a default size, regardless whether there are already other firefox windows open (of other sizes)?

So, there is no about config entry that you can actually manually set the specific window size, however there is an add on that allows you to set the size called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/firesizer/ Firesizer]. Try this out.

How do you set a default screen size for safari windows to open at ?

Hi guys, I'm running my mac mini through a 50 inch plasma. I really like that safari opens the browser at a size that's just big enough to fit the page you are viewing to; but annoyingly my flatmate keeps changing the window size to full screen. I don't like this and have tried to play around with the settings so that it opesn in a default size every time but have been unable to do so.
If anyone has any suggestions it'd be greatly apreciated as this seemingly stupid problem is realllllly annoying me.
Cheers,
AJ

Is there a way to set new default heap size for Java?

Hi,
I have a problem with setting global heap size for installed version of Java. By global I mean that every program that will be run using that version of Java, will be using that amount of memory. for heap. I know that I can use Xmx and Xms for each program that I start, but I don't want to do this. I just want to set some kind of property for installed version of Java.

Launch Firefox and set the web page as wide as you want by dragging the hash marks at the lower right corner. Center the page on your screen where you want it. Then quit Firefox. launch Firefox again. The page should be just where on the screen and sized as you set it prior to quitting.

How do I set a default directory location for opening projects?

Hi there.
Using Windows 7.
What I mean is when I click on Open Project I want it to always go to the same location, namely C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0\Projects
Each time I try to open a Project it seems to always go to some other random directory in My Docs.
I've looked for this in Preferences but cannot locate it.
Any ideas?

I just tested the Open Project function, and it appears to default to the location of the last project you had opened.
That said, I don't recommend saving project, or anything associated with your project, on the C: drive.
Adobe recommends a dedicated drive for video editing, and I've always saved my projects and all associated media on that separate drive. Not a big fan of the "My Documents" folders. Sure you can access them from the desktop, to a degree, but when in the Windows Explorer, stuff is buried too many folder down for my tastes. Makes it difficult to locate files later on.
I have a drive V: for video and will create a New Folder there when starting a new project. The Project gets saved there, as well as an video, audio, graphics, etc., and I do create sub-folders to organize those assets as inside the main folder.
Thanks

How do I set the default page size for printing on a 8450.

A few days ago I printed some envelopes and now when I print from some programs, the print page size has remained the envelope size. I want to print from any program on letter size paper without changing the settings every time.
Thanks

Set the initial (default) window size

The default size of Pages (actually, of all the iWork apps) is smaller than I like and I repeatedly have to resize the window to a size I prefer. Is there any way to specify a new default window size for iWork apps?
Thanks.

One of my frequent answers:
You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Main window size for HTML Help

Hello again
I have looked at the archives and despite thinking I had seen
this particular issue covered before, I could not find anything. I
generate a HTML Help File with RoboHelp for Word x5.0.1 and would
like to set the default window size as at the moment my Help File
opens in a rather small window. Also if a user maximises the
window, closes the Help File and re-opens it, it still opens in the
small windows, i.e. the size settings were not save upon closing
the file.
Can anybody help? I reckon there must be some place (I
noticed the existence of the Edit > Windows menu but it only
seems to apply to WinHelp) I can set this up.
Thank you.
Regards,

In Project Manager, double click Windows and then the window
you use. There should be fields for setting the size. If not, check
that HTML is your primary output and then create a new window, then
you should see the fields.

Default page size for printing

Is there a way to configure (i.e., specify non-programatically) the default page size to use when printing in Java? We have several JREs installed on a single Solaris machine. It seems that all but the one that came installed with the OS defaults to a an ISO-A4 page size.
I wrote a test program (see end of post) and compiled using a 1.2.2 JDK. Here are some results:
$ /usr/java/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.2.2
Page size: 612.0 x 792.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.0_04
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.2_08-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.2_08
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/jre-1.5.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.5.0_04
Page size: 595.2755813598633 x 841.8897399902344 pts
I've searched the Internet, but cannot find how to go about setting the default page size for a JRE. I've opened a ticket with Sun, and was told you can't do this other than programatically. It seems unreasonable that I would have to recompile my existing applications just to get them to work correctly under newer JREs. Is Sun's response to my ticket correct???
Thanks in advance!

============================================================
import java.awt.print.*;
public class PrintPageFormat
      public static void main(String[] args)
          PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
          PageFormat pf = pj.defaultPage();
          double w = pf.getWidth();
          double h = pf.getHeight();
          String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
          System.out.println("    Java version: " + version);
          System.out.println("    Page size: " + w + " x " + h + " pts");
}

This problem was fixed by setting the locale variable LC_CTYPE to "C" or "en_US". The JREs 1.4.0 and above deployed on our Linux and Solaris environments all have the system property 'java.awt.printerjob' set to 'sun.print.PSPrinterJob'. This is a subclass of sun.print.RasterPrinterJob which in turn is a subclass of java.awt.print.PrinterJob. So, PSPrinterJob is the actual class of the PrinterJob returned by PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(). Looking at the code of RasterPrinterJob:
        /* Default to A4 paper outside North America.
        String defaultCountry = Locale.getDefault().getCountry();
        if (!Locale.getDefault().equals(Locale.ENGLISH) && // ie "C"
            defaultCountry != null &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.US.getCountry()) &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.CANADA.getCountry())) {
            double mmPerInch = 25.4;
            w = Math.rint((210.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            h = Math.rint((297.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            newPaper.setSize(w, h);
            newPaper.setImageableArea(ptsPerInch, ptsPerInch,
                                      w - 2.0*ptsPerInch,
                                      h - 2.0*ptsPerInch);
        }This should have been fairly obvious. Java's locale settings depend on the platform's locale settings (i.e., LC_ variables in this case), and then the default page size is determined (or actually altered) based on that.
I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out much sooner. I would hope Sun is, too! (not me, themselves)

How do I set a default page size?

When Firefox opens, pages are displayed in about 1/3 the size of the screen. I would like to be able to set a default display size for all pages, in the same manner that I can set a default zoom in Google Chrome.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Default font size for a value in a table in Answers

Hi,
I am trying to set a default font size for a column of table view in Answers, so that when I create a new report, this default font size is used. Can someone please point me to the file where I can make this change?
Thanks

Well if you have a tag like this:
element.style {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:9px;
It means it's coming from the formatting in the request in Answers...not from a style sheet! You'll note in Firebug, that there's actually no *.css file mentionned. I.e. example from here:
element.style {
color:#00AF00;
.OORD {views.css (line 1574)
text-align:right;
.PTE {views.css (line 1077)
background-color:#FFFFFF;
First part element.style comes from my conditional formatting and doesn't reference any css file
The other two elements are from the views.css which control my pivot table.
See the difference?
Cheers,
C.

[AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

Good morning:
I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!
Theresa

Thanks Jongware!
I'm aware of the many different forums and I thought I was posting it in the Acrobat Scripting forum.
That'll teach me to look where I post. I guess I'm the one that needs the glasses.
