Why is Reader's resolution default to "custom"?

I can't tell you how many hours I've spent with my third-party software trying to generate a clear PDF, only to discover the problem was Reader's default resolution setting of Custom resolution: 110 pixels/inch. As I see it, anyone viewing my documents are going to see them in 110 DPI instead of 96 DPI unless I instruct them to fix their Adobe settings.
I've found posts in this forum dating back to 2009 on this issue. Can anyone tell me why, in Adobe's opinion, this is a preferred setting? And is there any way for me to tell my readers "It's not me..."?

Why is this a problem for YOU? You cannot control what settings people will have, nor demand they change their settings; they may also view in one of the many non-Adobe PDF viewers such as Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Reader, Apple Preview, or the viewers in Android or iOS. Perhaps you are just trying to dictate too much - authors often try to control more than they need. Yes, screen shots only work at one exact resolution/zoom, but that is the position for everyone.

  • How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    I too am looking into this issue for someone at my work and hoping someone can provide a resolution for this nuisance.
    It is correct that that Auto Portrait/Landscape is usually set to default for Adobe Reader XI. One day, Portrait was randomly switched as the default setting. Granted the setting could be set back to Auto on a per file basis, this slowed down the time to mass print several landscape reports.  The problem only occurred under one Windows account profile while other user accounts defaulted to Auto as expected. Uninstalling the software, clearing out all Adobe traces from Programs/Program Data/Application Data/Registry, and reinstalling the software did not make any difference. All printer preferences/configurations were the same amongst the different user accounts.
    While it would sound like rebuilding that one person's profile would be the final solution, it wouldn't be ideal to reconfigure the several remote connections with banks and hospitals (we're an anesthesia billing company) on a new profile for what might be a simple, yet elusive fix to this print setting. I have noticed other posts on other sites mention this issue, but no resolutions have been provided yet. I'm sure part of what makes this difficult to resolve is the inability to replicate this issue elsewhere.

  • Why do have a long default Subject when sending picture to Web Gallery?

    Why does Apple populate a long default Subject when sending a picture to Web Gallery? This is extremely annoying as the long Subject has to be deleted for each picture (Subject becomes the Pictures' caption in the Gallery) before entering a desired Caption.
    Why not just leave the default Subject blank so we can add what we want? I have submitted this as both an enhancement and bug request to online Apple support. Just wanted to call it to others attention in case their was a workaround or so others could also submit it to support.
    Not very user friendly having to tap 20+ delete keys before entering a Caption for each picture....

    Just keep the delete key pressed down. It's faster.

  • When going to payment information, why does it say to "please contact customer support to complete this transaction"

    When going to payment information, why does it say to "please contact customer support to complete this transaction"? How do i fix this to be able to purchase apps again?

    Why? Presumably because there is a problem of some kind.
    How do you fix it? By contacting customer support I presume. It's certainly the best (and probably the only) option available to you.

  • Istore Default JSPs customized with no backup....

    Im walking into an istore (12.1.3) instance with the default JSPs customized...
    how do i get a copy of the default JSPs that come out of the box with istore?
    and does anyone recommend a version control system that works well with Istore? i usually use git...that should work fine..correct?

    The legitimate way to get the ASA software image to restore on a unit you own is to buy a service contract. The list price is only US$71 for one year. That will get you not only ASA software but also AnyConnect client software and product support - including the ability to call the TAC with support issues.

    Once you have that, the restoral procedure mentioned above can be used.

  • Functionality of default, Auto & custom choices in Lens correction panel?

    Can anyone explain how to use the choices in the lens correction panel when you choose profile then enable lens corrections?  The three choices are default, auto & custom.  It seems that if you choose auto it should be doing something but I can't see anything different.  I have created 5 lens profile for my Pasnasonic DMC-FZ-50 at 5 different focal lengths and these show up in the panel and are functional.  I have looked in the help section and can't find out what these choices mean or how to use them. thanks

    Auto will pick the lens based on the lens ID saved into the file when you took the shot, not the focal length, aperture, etc. If it cannot find a lens that matches that lens ID it won't pick anything, even if you have manually saved a lens as the default. As I wrote earlier, you can make any lens the default, but Auto will only use a perfect match for the lens.

  • Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

    Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

    This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
    Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.

  • HT1629 why is this not by default?

    Why is this not by default?
    This .ds_Store files clutter my synology diskstation which is accessed by windows clients (and one mac).

    .DS_Store is a file used by Finder to 'remember' your prefences for that folder or volume. Every folder on your Mac has one, and any connected HDs will also get one.
    In OS X it's hidden, but on Windows it isn't recognised and shows up as a 'ghost' file.
    You can use the free version of Tinker Tool to stop Finder from creating them on network shares.

  • Why do all of the default templates just open a blank page?

    Using Visio 2013 Standard, when I go to create a new drawing it doesn't matter if I select a Blank Drawing or a Wirefram Diagram or a Network Diagram, they all open a blank page in Visio with no shapes/stencils on the left. Why do all of the default templates
    open a blank drawing and how can I change that?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, we can use the different templates among the different Visio 2013 versions. Based on my test, Visio 2013 Standard version lists the unavailable templates category. Unfortunately， we can't use the stencils which are available in
    Visio 2013 Pro version. I'll collect the this information and submit it with internal ways.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • When I open Remote Desktop Connection, it reads "cannot open default.rdp".  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, when I open RDP on my iMac, it reads "cannot open default.rdp" and it never saves my preferences or connections.  It resets after each launch. 
    How do I go about fixing this?
    UPDATE and FIX
    I went to the Finder menu, clicked on GO, held down Option (Alt) to bring up the Library.
    In the Library, I browsed to Preferences, found the com.microsoft.rdp plist and deleted it. Then I emptied my Trash.  If you get an error saying rdp plist is in use and cannot be deleted, quit out of RDP or reboot the machine (if quitting RDP doesn't work).
    Also, there was a permissions issue.  I browsed to the Applications folder, located the Microsoft Office folder, right clicked the folder (or CTRL click) and selected GET INFO.  First--In order to make any changes, authenticate with admin privileges using the lock icon (put in your username and password). From there (under Sharing & Permissions), I made sure my username (account currently logged in) and everyone had Read & Write privileges, then I clicked on the little gear icon (drop-down) and selected Apply to Enclosed items.
    Voila! 
    This worked for me.

    Actually, I still receive an error when I try to save the connections.
    I get an error that reads
    "Make sure that you have permission to write to the location where you want to save the file"
    Any help with this would be great!
    ah, RDP on a mac

  • Data from a file need to be read and mapped  into a custom table of R/3

    Hello all,
    This is related to inbound to  SAP ECC via SAP PI.
    There is a requirement concerning PI part that data from a file need to be read and mapped  into a custom table of R/3.
    To have this scenario developed , do we have any other  option than the Proxy ?
    My understanding is as follows : File --> SAP PI --> Proxy
    You suggestions are welcome.
    Regards,
    Rachana

    Hi Ravi,
    As suggested by Inaki, you can use proxy communication in recever.
    but you can also use the below
    FILE -----> PI -------> PROXY
                                  RFC
                                  IDOC
    to communicate to ECC system.

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

    When and Why:
    Custom cube should be think of when the constent cube is either not suitable nor available for a subject area.
    If there is a content cube and but does not meet your reporting needs, then the better thing will be to adopt the content one and make changes.
