Setting intial view

Is it possible to script or command the parameters of the view/display settings in the user's reader?
Specifically, I want set:
the view resolution in Page Display options;
the background colour in Full Screen Appearance options;
the "Fill" Screen option in Full Screen Setup options i.e. I don't want the document to fill the screen in Full Screen mode.
I don't see this control as being a security issue, but then I've been surprised before. Is there a method for this?
Thanks in advance.

Steve,
In short, no.
In Preferences / Full Screen / Full Screen Setup there is the option to select 'Fill screen one page at a time' . If you uncheck this option then the document appears at the size you dictate rather than filling up the screen. The advantage (from a design point of view) is clear. However, one is then left with the issue of controlling the background colour of the user's reader, and the issue of resolution (i.e. system or custom setting) as set in Preferences / Page Display / Resolution.
All these preferences are set by the reader, not the author i.e. I can't control the readers preferences so I can't present the deisgn as intended. Given the average user's undertsanding of Acrobat preferences (nearly no knowledge at all) I can't rely on the users willingness or ability to set the preferences as required.
I may be barking up the wrong tree here but I need some guidance on how to acheive this.
Many thanks
SB

  • Set intial view

    I posted the following over on the Acrobat Windows forum, but no joy with any answers so forgive the repeat if you have seen this before.

    You need to create a document level JavaScript and use the application FS, Full Screen, object to set the various properties and then set the 'app.fs.isFullScreen = ture;' to switch to the full screen mode.
    // set the background color
    app.fs.backgroundColor = color.ltGray;
    // make cursor visible
    app.fs.cursor = cursor.visible;
    // engage Mr Scott!
    app.fs.isFullScreen = true;
    After looking at your original post and trying the above script, there is an application 'bug', probelm, that prevents the setting of the background color on the initial transition to full screen unless one exits the full screen mode and then reenters it manually.
    Since this is an error in the appliction code, you will not be able to correct it.

  • Changing Default Intial View?

    I want  the PDFs I create to open with the intial view set to “fit to window”. Currently I open every PDF and change that in the document properties under “Initial View”, save and close. Is it possible to set this as the default for all newly created PDFs?

    Changing the Acrobat preferences, changes the default that Acrobat uses to open PDFs, unless the opening preferences are set in the PDF. Generally speaking, the PDF properties override your Acrobat preferences. As for setting default document settings when you produce a PDF, I do not think it is normally possible. However, you might be able to create a JavaScript that could be run to do the settings (I am guessing).

  • How to set the view, which has to be shown at runtime?

    Hi,
    in my application i have more than one view, but at runtime only one of these views has to be shown. I want to decide this via a parameter that I get from the url.
    How can i set the right view to be showing at runtime?
    I tried it with a StartView which fires the right Outbound Plug in his wdDoInit-Method. This is working fine, but the problem is, that the method OnPlugDefault() of ComponentInterfaceViewController isn't called already at this time. So in the Init-Method of the StartView I don't have the given URL Parameter, so I can't decide which Plug I want to fire. The method OnPlugDefault() is called only after the init-method of the StartView.
    Is there any other possibilty to set the view, which has to be shown, at runtime?
    Thanks and Best Regards
    Katharina

    Hi,
    One way is you can pass the parameter in the URL , read the parameter and then fire the outbound plug depending upon that.
    You can read the parameters as follows
    HttpServletRequest request =Task.getCurrentTask()
         .getWebContextAdapter()
         .getHttpServletRequest();
    String[] param1 = request.getParameterValues("<<PARAMETRNAME");
    if(param1.equals("VALUE"))
      fire outbound plug1;

  • How to set default view for preview?

    Every time I open a PDF using Preview I have to set the view to 'thumbnails', then 'two pages up', then adjust the zoom. Complete waste of time.
    Anyone know how to set defaults so that it opens in a predictable way?
    thanks,

    I customized my Toolbar to look like the following. Click the middle button that has the 1 circled. That tells Preview to remember to display pages at actual size (100%). Every file that I open now displays at 100%.

  • How to set the view privilege of a portlet?

    Dear all,
    I would like to ask how to set the view privilege of a portlet (which is located on the Intranet homepage) to only a group of users?
    As far as I know, I can create a tab with view privilege to address the about scenario. But is it possible to directly set the view privilege to the portlet ?
    thanks

    OK, you got me there George. I don't know where you can set view rights to an out of box portlet. So how about a different approach?
    1) Create a blank page with no nav bar or anything else
    2) Assign the group you want to see the notifications portlet view rights on the page
    3) Make sure the show as portlet check box is checked on the Optional tab in the page properties
    4) Add the notifications portlet to the page
    5) Ensure the portlet settings are how you desire in terms of what notifications to show and the region settings are how they should be in terms of border, headers, etc
    6) Edit the page where you want the notifications portlet to be shown and add the page portlet you just created instead of the notification portlet
    This should achieve what you seek without having to dig into out-of-box portlets.

  • Can we set List View Lookup Threshold at site collection level ?

    Hello,
    Presently, we have requirement to set the List View Lookup Threshold  at Site Collection/Sub-Site level instead of web application level.
    Could you please let me know, are there any ways to set
    List View Lookup Threshold setting at Site Collection/Sub-Site level
    in SharePoint 2010 using Powershell/Object Model
    Also, it would be helpful if you colud let me know, upto what extent , we can drill down List View Lookup Threshold setting i.e. SubSite/List/Library-Folder.
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi Sagar,
    We cannot set list view threshold value at sitecollection/subsite level. It can only be set at web application level.
    However we can bypass the 5000 limit using PowerShell command by setting “Enable Throttling”= false for particular list.

    You can set custom view options (window size, icon placement, and so forth) that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP).
    You can customize the size, position, and other view options of the window that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP). You can do this on a per-volume basis.
    To customize view options, follow these steps:
    1. Log in to a client computer.
    2. Using Connect to Server, connect to the target volume as the owner of the volume; the owner must not be an administrator account (see Notes 1, 2, and 3, below).
    3. Make any desired changes to the window position, view mode (Icons, List, Columns), icon arrangement, or any of the settings found in View Options window (Command-J).
    4. Disconnect from the server volume by dragging it to the Trash.

  • WD- SALV- Setting initial View dynamically

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to have 2 different ALV initial views, depending on certain conditions in my program (two buttons, each of them calling the same ALV, but with different initial View)
    I'm settung at runtime the config_key when I initialize the ALV component, as Regina Breuer explained in the following forum
    Re: WDA ALV initial view
    After I run the program and I click on one of the buttons it works fine. But the initial view doesn't change even if I click on the other button, although in debugging mode I can see that the correct configuration key is being set.
    For any suggestions I woud be very pleased!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
