Set default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on all new docs

Hello Acrobat Experts,
We convert *many* Word docs to PDF. We have PDFMaker force security on all docs. Now every document has the security settings we want.
That works.
We want to force the default Initial View to be Bookmarks Panel and Page so that *every* new document shows the Bookmark Panel and the Page.
We don't want to set this per document (which is a multi-setp process and a hassle, especially now that security is enabled) but globally for all new documents created by Adobe Acrobat.
Any and all advice is most welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Tech details:
Acrobat Professional 8.1.7
Windows Xp Professional (all current updates)

The article I pointed to in my Oct 20, 2009 post #3 contains two pointers that might assist to initially open the PDF fitting the page to the window.
I think you may be after "Vire [/Fit]" as described in the article;
[ /PageMode /UseOutlines
/Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
These lines of code open your PDF document with the bookmarks panel open. If you just want the document on its own try "UseNone" instead of "UseOutlines". Here are some additional values:
/Page 1 opens the PDF on page 1
View [/Fit ] opens the PDF Fit to page
And the article points to the PDFMark reference where you might look at Actions and Destinations on page 47.
I've not tried to do this myself so would you be kind enough to post your result and let us know the version of Acrobat you're using?

Is there a way to set the default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on word documents that I save as PDF?

When I save my word 2013 documents as Adobe PDF I have to open the PDF up, go to File>Properties>Initial View>Navigation Tab and then set the initial view as Bookmark Panel and Page; it gets pretty tedious.
I use Save as Adobe PDF rather than Print to Adobe PDF Printer because I like being able to have the security settings automatically set.
I just want to be able to save my word document as Adobe PDF with the initial view already set as Bookmark Panel and Page, and with security, so I can send it out immediately.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

Bookmarks Panel and Page Display

BACKGROUND:
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and now when I convert a Word2010 doc to PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro Create PDF. Once the file oepns in Acrobat, I then make the following changes:
File > Properties > Initial View >Navigation Tab (Set to Bookmarks Panel and Page) Page Layer (Set to Single Page Continuous)
Preferences are set to: Open cross-document links in same window; allow layer state to be set by user information; allow documents to hide the men bar, toolbars, and window controls.
PDF/A View Mode is sent to Only for PDF/A documents.
The only thing that I have done different is that I did open was Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES8.2 and tested converting a word document into a form last week. I then attempted to convert files from WORD2010 to Acrobat Pro 9 on Friday and say the problems. I am now also having problems with Adobe LiveCycle.
Attempted Resolution: Our Help Desk uninstalled and then re-installed Acrobat Pro 9 but that has not resolved the issue. They are recommending that they wipe my profile and build it again. I am hoping to avoid that and hope someone can help me with this issue.
System Information:
Version 9.0.0.2008061200
OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
Thanks for your assistance,

The Bookmark Panel to the left of the pdf is not displaying - I have checked everything (and double checked under preferences to ensure that under Documents > Open Settings > Restore last view settings when reopening documents is Not checked.)
Have reinstalled Acrobat and still am having issues. The only thing I did was open AcrobatLive and converted a doc to a fillable form - I am getting error messages with that now as well.

Setting default "Initial View" options for new PDFs

I usually want most of the PDFs I create to open with the pages panel displayed and “fit to window”. Currently I open every PDF and change that in the document properties under “Initial View”, save and close.
There must be a better way.
Is it possible to set this as the default for all newly created PDFs as part of the job options definition?
I've searched in the different settings panes, but to no avail.
Any hints appreciated.

The Initial View (IV) settings are not part of the options when creating a new PDF, either in Acrobat or Distiller.
There are several options to apply IV depending on the version of Acrobat you're using. You can create an Action in Acrobat X which applies IV to any open file as per your requirements, and optionally saves it as well. In Acrobat 9 or earlier you can do a similar thing with a batch process sequence.
If you need to attach IV as part of the creation process then you can use an "epilogue.ps" script to add commands which Distiller will append to the PDF, and link that PS file to one of Distiller's presets.
Lori Kassuba has a blog post about this method.

Need to set "initial view" to two up and fit page

Newbie here, I apologize for such a basic question:
It's easy to set an open document view to "two up" and "fit page":
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;
this.layout = "TwoColumnLeft";
However, I cannot seem to find the properties to set the "initial view" to the same view.
"initial.zoomType" and "initial.layout" do not work.
Any ideas? Thanks, JB

"initial.zoomType" and "initial.layout" do not work.
This properties doesn't exist. Did you read the documentation?

Default initial view that applies to all PDFs opened

Is it possible to set a default PDF initial view that applies to every pdf opened, regardless of the source of the pdf? Simply put, I want to have the initial view of EVERY pdf I open to be at 100% zoom and no bookmark panel. Obviously this can be done manually every time I open a pdf, which will then reopen with those settings. It seems logical that I should be able to set a default initial view that will apply to any pdf I open and not require me to manually set every one. I've tried every option noted in all the forums I have found, using prologue and epilogue, file>properties, edit>preferences, action wizard. It all boils down to this...I don't want to manually set anything. I want to open pdf documents in the initial view I prefer.

I have spend a great deal of time researching this exact question. What I have found is that essentially the answer is "no". I have come up with a workaround that isn't painless, but it gets the results I want without having to touch every pdf after it is opened.
I set up an Action in Acrobat that has the options I want (page and 100% with no bookmark panel open) and run it against pdfs in a specified directory. It sets all initial views for any pdf in the directory to what I want. The action can also be run against any directory or file, but for my purposes I find doing it in a sort of "batch" mode works best. To set the Action:
     1.     Open Acrobat (with no other pdfs open)
     2.     File >Action Wizard>Create New Action
     3.     On right panel set
                         Start with:     "Ask When Action is Started"
                         Save to:          "The Same Folder Selected at Start", check "Overwrite existing Files"
                                             (if you plan to run this action against a directory as I am)
     4.     From left panel
                         Select Document Processing>Set Open Options
     5.     In right panel click on "Options" for the step you just created and set the initial view you desire
     6.     Save
When you want to use the action you can access it from Acrobat opening window or any pdf file you currently have open.
Another alternative is to use Distiller with epilogue.ps or prologue.ps to append this initial view to any document created. As I don't create many pdfs, it didn't really help with what I wanted to do. .

How to resolve this?
Thanks in Advance

hi .
i needed to set default strorage location and plant in personal setting in me21n.
i solve it with this way.
go to program SAPLMEPERS in se38.
create new function in output with the sample name :MODULE ZTEST_001 OUTPUT.
in this module write:
if MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS is INITIAL and MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT is INITIAL.
MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS = '1000'.
MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT = '0032'.
endif.
this is the solution.
best regards.

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!
Ione

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

Where is the attachment panel and page option in Designer?

In the document properties (in Acrobat), initial view tab and Navigation tab option you can select Attachments Panels and Page.
Can this be done is Designer can not seem to find a similar option.
Regards, John.

I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
Strange...
The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
Will be available with a future update?
Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
Will never be available?
I belive this features are not important for advanced users... but I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

HA! I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars". So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account. Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone. Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone. Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE. I made my own day!
I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to reset safari but the problem persists. How can make safari Never accept cookies.

I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists. This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user. How can I get safari to Never accept cookies? This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?

Hi David:
I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem. I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing. I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.

Ordered keynote and pages on my new macbook pro but cannot download them. Apple id issue.

Ordered keynote and pages on my new macbook pro. Says I need to login to the account I used to purchase them? I only have one account and I am logged in to it. I have no idea what to do.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because Keynote and Pages are hidden in your account. First, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236
If it doesn't work, unhide Numbers and Pages > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928 Then, you will be able to install them without any problem

How do i get my already purchased "numbers" and 'Pages" onto my new iPad??

how can i get my already purchased 'numbers' and 'pages' onto my new ipad?

If you have already purchased the iOS versions of these applications, they will appear in your "Purchases" list in the app store. Register your iPad with the same Apple ID as was used for the purchase, and you will be able to download and install it on the iPad (and on any other iOS device registered under the same Apple ID).
Wayne's response applies if your previous purchase was the Mac OS X version of Numbers and Pages.

Barry
