Setting zoom level

I am using version Adobe Reader X version 10.1 on Windows.
I set the zoom level in Preferences | Page Display | Zoom to 100%. I save it. I close the pdf I am viewing. I reopen the PDF. The PDF is shown at zoom level 72.3 %.
Why is this so hard to get right for Adobe Reader ? This problem has persisted for every version of Adobe Reader I have used since the product was created. This is not rocket science, Adobe developers. Do you think you can get this correct before the end of the earth some X billions of years down the line.

Using Acrobat a content author can configure the Initial View of a PDF in the PDF's Document Properties.
Any such configuration determines the initial view of the PDF when opened by Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Been that way back to Acrobat 4.x.
This permits the content author to establish a desired initial view for their product or to establish a common initial view for PDFs deployed by a business.
If the value "Default" is selected or an item is not ticked then the Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences settings come into play.
Be well...

  • How to hold back zoom level setting?

    Zoom level changes every time with opening page, & I want to keep already set zoom level ,as it happens in other browsers like Google Crome.How to keep zoom level always set ,at it's selected level? I tried with add on to solve this,but result was not so good.Hopefully you will help me...I enjoy FIREFOX..Thank you.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • REQ: Add 'Fit-width' or 'Fit-visible' view mode, in which the zoom level is automatically set based on the width of the _current_ page.

    Currently, the default zoom level when viewing a page of a PDF file is automatically calculated based on the width of the "widest" page of the document. This means that, if the document contains one page that is wider than the others or is in landscape orientation, then the default zoom, when viewing all the other narrower pages, is set in a way so that the page does not use the full width of the screen. This results in very poor experience, because the zoom level and the visible area of the page have to be constantly adjusted for each page. The latest update (at the time of writing) has added some extra view modes, but not the much needed 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible'.
    Personally, I can find no reason valid enough to justify the lack of such a view mode. Automatically setting the zoom level based on the width of the current page so as to take advantage of the full width of the screen should be a must have feature for mobile devices, if not the default behavior. The current default behavior regarding the zoom level is pretty much useless, even on 8"/10" screens. There should be a view mode in which the full width of the screen is always used to display the document.
    Examples of documents for which the Adobe Reader for Android provides a poor reading experience are:
    documents which contain some of their pages in landscape orientation.
    publications which, apart from the main content, also contain the full front and back cover in a single page (usually first page which is much wider than the content pages) or any other extra pages like cards or application forms (that are meant to be printed) which usually use an A4/Letter page size etc.
    documents which have been cropped by external utilities or scripts so as to eliminate unneeded white margins (in some cases not all pages have the same width).
    Please consider fixing the default behavior in future releases of the Reader for Android or add a 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible' view mode.
    Thank you in advance.

    Improved descriptions of example documents.

    To add to this, if you prefer you can separate your JavaScript from your JSF pages.
    Add a folder (I named mine 'js') to your application's ViewController project's public_html folder.
    Via JDeveloper, create a new JavaScript file inside your newly created folder and place your JavaScript functions inside it.
    You can then 'load' the .js file using the method Shantala described, with the addition of an added 'source' property to the af:reference tag.
    (This can also be a URI reference to a JavaScript file hosted on a web server)
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <af:resource source="/js/myJsFile.js" type="javascript"/>
    </f:facet>The benefits of this 'split' are cleaner JSF page source and also code-highlighting and formatting within the .js file making finding and fixing bugs in your JavaScript much easier.
    It appears however, that when using <af:resource> to load scripts, once the page has been submitted even once, the JavaScript is no longer available to the page. Which isn't very useful.
    A solution is to use <trh:script>.
    Add xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" to your <jsp:root> tag and install the library.
    then in place of the above code use:
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
      <trh:script id="script1" source="/js/myJsFile.js"/>
    </f:facet>Now after a page submit the JavaScript still functions.

  • Can you set PDF zoom level when exporting from ID?

    I do many documents for proof and regardless of how the end user is going to view them, I like them to open as a full page ("Fit Page" zoom level) - I want the viewer to get the overall impact of the layout before they see just the top half or upper corner.
    Right now, I export from ID and have to manually set the zoom level  in Properties from within Acrobat Pro. Is there ANY way to set a default export zoom level to save this step, which I have to do many times on most days?

    Only if you export using File > Export > Adobe PDF  (Interactive). Not if you're using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print),

  • How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

    How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

    I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
    I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
    I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
    Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  • Want to set a default zoom level for safari?  Here's how you do it.

    If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
    1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
    2) copy and paste in the following:
    body {
    zoom: 130%;
    change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
    3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
    4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect.
    Voila. Hope that helps someone.

    Yes you are right!
    This CSS zooming is a crude hack. I think it basically treats a web page like a pdf document where you just enlarges everything.
    When you zoom manually, safari does a smarter sort of zoom where it enlarges but tries to keep widths of the elements the same size, reflowing text where needed and scrolling only when necessary.
    If the web page has a fixed size that is smaller than your browser window, like this forum, css zoom works ok. But with a page like gmail, which has no width constraint, you get into trouble.
    Hmm, wait, I just checked out wiki, which also uses up all available screen real estate, but does NOT have this problem.
    Notice in gmail, even if you zoom way out below what should be 100%, the login is still off the screen. The font gets real small but the width of the page stays the same. The css zoom basically "sticks" and isn't completely reversible.
    Bottom line: you have to decide which is more annoying: having to hit Ctrl+ for every tab you open, or running into some problematic pages.
    On Windows, I use autohotkey (a kdb and mouse macro scripting program) to switch off the CSS on the fly when I need to. I think Mac has similar capability built in, right? If I were really clever, I guess I could program autohotkey to send a few ctrl+ whenever it detects a new window or tab in safari, but I'm not there yet.
    Bottom bottom line: Apple needs to add this feature. It's a pretty basic accessibility feature. Doesn't Apple have like an accessibility guru/advocate?

  • I need to set the zoom level at 100% so the drop downs on my work site will work. How do I set this?

    I go to a web site to turn in my work hours. This site has drop downs to select information. These drop downs will not work. I called the company I work for and they said that the zoom level needs to be set at 100% on Firefox for these to work. I need to know what I have to do to set this. There system uses Adobe Reader, I have the 9.0 version on my computer.

    View menu => Zoom => Reset (or Ctrl-0 [zero] ) - but I doubt that's the problem. Eg. zoom in or out on this page and menus work fine.
    Could be Adobe versions are out of sync.

  • Is there a default setting for the Preview Pane Zoom level?

    I want to have my default zoom level of my preview pane set to "Fit to Window"

    Select the audio clips and use Modify>Stereo Pair. Command- period.

  • Hierarchy Viewer: Setting default zoom level and levelFetchSize

    I have couple of questions on Hierarchy Viewer:
    (1) Is it possible to set the zoom level to say 50% by default when the HV is rendered first time. By default the nodes are rendered at 100%, but I would like to render them at 50% by default - and on hover show the 100%. Is this doable ? User can then decide to zoom to 100% if desired.
    (2) Is it possible to change the levelFetchSize based on zoom level ? For example if the zoom level is 100%, levelFetchSize could be 4 but at 50%, it would be increased to 8 (since more real estate is available) ?

    It seems like the DVT by default zooms to fit the available real estate. But is it possible to set a fixed zoom level (say 75%) even if the node does have 100% zoom level. We would like to show the 100% zoom level only on hover to the node. But by default, wanted to to set the viewer to always show 75% or 50% zoom level.

  • Nosquint's Global zoom level setting can not be saved

    I change the Global zoom level setting 140 from 150, and it works a 140. after I quit FF and back again, the Global zoom level is changed back to 150 again, it seems that can not be saved. it is working under V21
    I am using ff 24.0 now
    any solution?

    You can check for problems with preferences.<br />
    Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

    You can rename the content-prefs.sqlite file to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Firefox profile folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.

  • Setting default zoom level for creating bookmarks

    I am creating a PDF file in a couple of steps.  The main text is created from Word, which gives me bookmarks automatically set to "Inherit Zoom."  I also create subsets of tables and figures by "combining files in Acrobat" from Windows Explorer.  That step creates bookmarks automatically that are set to "Fit Width."  I then add the pages from the tables and figures into the PDF created from the Word document.  The bookmarks come in the proper location, but the zoom level stays "Fit Width."  I'd like it to be either "Inherit Zoom" or "Fit Page."  Is there a way to set the default zoom for bookmark creation so I don't have to manually change each bookmark?

    It seems like the DVT by default zooms to fit the available real estate. But is it possible to set a fixed zoom level (say 75%) even if the node does have 100% zoom level.

  • Zoom Level Setting Does not Stay Constant

    HP Pavilion dv7-6163us Entertainment Notebook PC
    The zoom level is set at 125 but keeps changing as I go to different screens.  It bounces to 150  and I have to cycle it thru 100 and then 125.  It will not stay at 125 and  I cannot find a solution to the problem.  In fact when I ask a HP forum for 'zoom level' I get no responses.  Sometimes the screen will be at 150 but the zoom level indicates it is at 125.  I unchecked PINCH ZOOM in the mouse setting for Synaptics Touch Pad Device but it had no affect.  In Opions, advanced settings I have checked the Reset Zoom Level (but could that be a problem?)  This just started after I removed a program that was not working correctly.  

    zoom level keeps changing as i am typing..hate it sometimes to goes clear down to the lowest level..also i can't set the blinking curser to stop..it disapears when i go to use it..this is my second hp laptop and my other one did the same thing..drives me crazy....
