Zoom level keeps resetting in Acrobat X

Can someone tell me how to set the zoom level to be constant? Everytime i open a PDF, the zoom level is reset (usually to a very low zoom level). And everytime i click a bookmark, the zoom level gets reset.
In preferences i have the zoom level set to "fit visible" but it does absolutely nothing...

When bookmarks are set up, they can specify a specific zoom setting, or they can inherit the previous zoom. So how they behave depends on how they are set up. You can use various preferences to override the intial zoom setting of a document, but not of "go to view" actions of bookmarks, links, bottons, etc.

  • Zoom level keep resetting with or without zoom addons

    Zoom setting does not hold, reset itself after every request, same behavior with FF built-in zoom, Nosquint, and DefaultFullZoomLevel addons. Very annoying, if problem persist may need to use other browsers.
    Some examples below.

    I think (let others bust my chops if I'm wrong) that the MBA uses a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, whereas the MBP uses an 85W MagSafe Power Adapter. That could be causing problems.

  • 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....

  • How to keep the Zoom level in Safari 7?

    There is only one big win that's making me stick to Chrome over Safari: The zoom.
    In Chrome when you zoom in a page (With Cmd +) the zoom level is stored in the cookies, or the history, or somwhere, and it stays the same level when you open again that page in another tab or if you close and open again Chrome. This simple feature makes it tremendously comfortable to navigate in big and wide screens.
    This feature by itself is going to keep me using Chrome instead of Safari with all the new fancy and cool stuff they added in the new Safari 7. And yes, there is a "Trick" by using a .css style sheet customed to make a default zoom in all pages, but it's not good enough because some pages need different level of zoom.
    So please, someone, make Apple correct this issue. It should't be complicated, it's as simple as that Safari remembers the latest zoom level you left in a web.
    Because I believe that if people are leaving Safari behind is because it lacks this simple tools that make life much easier. And I believe it's in Apples philosphy to make technology to help people, isn't it?

    It never worked the way Chrome works in Safari 6 either, but at least Safari 6 remembered the zoom level you'd set in a particular tab. With Safari 7 Apple has made the situation even worse. Now after setting the zoom level you want, it's forgotten when you click on a bookmark, and the page reverts to actual size. It really is infuriating having to zoom in all the time, and the CSS trick and the various zoom extensions don't work properly. Safari is all but unusable for me because of this issue. I've complained to Apple many times about it in the past, but now I've given up believing it'll ever change. It seems that Chrome will forever conquer Safari thanks to an easy-to-fix issue Apple refuses to fix.

  • Hi, how can I keep the same zoom level for all the pages I view in Safari and even when I close and open it.  Indeed with a 27 inch Imac I have a lot of space, most of the websites are built for smaller resolutions  and my sight is dropping !   Thx

  • Why does not safari allow to keep the zoom level over the whole website? This is universal problem for all ipad browsers.

    This is a big problem on sites like Tomshardware and Sweclockers and probably many more that Safari is not capable of keeping the zoom level the same over all website pages. And it makes the browsing experience on the IPAD an annoyance.
    You have to constantly double tap to see the website clearly for each webpage load. There should be settings to allow to remember the zoom level
    for a whole website. So you don't have to double tap on every new page of the website.
    The other browsers like ICAB and Mercury are not handling this any better and seem to be limited by the webkit rendering options available.
    It's instantly visible on Sweclockers and it becomes a problem on tomshardware when you click on a review link.
    I have included pictures here that showcase the problem.

    We are all just your fellow users here. If you intended this as a suggestion to Apple, your best bet would be to submit it at this link:

  • Make table of contents links keep current zoom level, not zoom out to full page

    When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically link to the paragraphs the links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to that page. Great.
    What's not so great is, that the hyperlinks / cross-references / jump-links / whatever that are created behind the scenes within the table of contents appear to:
    ...be automatically set to reset the zoom to full page width
    ...not be editable in any way
    Normal cross references retain the zoom level that the user has chosen, and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings about what zoom level change (if any) should be imposed on the user, which can be set to 'inherit zoom'.
    How do I set up a table of contents that doesn't annoy users by resetting their chosen zoom level to an artitrary default when they use the interactive table of contents?
    I'm really hoping I don't have to ditch Indesign's table of contents feature and create every cross reference manually.

    (editted) So it turns out that you can 'expand' a table of contents by copying and pasting it - this fills the hyperlinks panel with links that can be editted (like above) but breaks the auto-update - they're no longer a TOC, they're just a text frame full of links. (I had got different copies mixed up when I thought the frame holding the editable links was also auto-updating)
    The greying out of the links was a red herring, just something to do with the fact they were on a master page.
    It does mean that one possible TOC workflow is:
    Create a TOC on the pasteboard somewhere.
    Before finalising the document, update this TOC and alt-drag the 'live' TOC creating an editable 'dead' copy in an appropriate place in the document
    Edit the link properties of the links in the 'dead' copy (don't forget that you can select multiple hyperlinks at once by holding down shift, and edit things like the Zoom Setting all at once with Hyperlink Options in the Hyperlinks flyout menu. )
    Then, if you make other changes to the document later on, delete the dead copy, update and re-copy the live original, and re-do the changes to the new copy
    This isn't a bad method - it just adds about a minute's work each time you export a PDF (delete, update TOC, alt-drag, shift-select the new batch of .XXXX links at the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel, > Hyperlink Options, Zoom Setting  > Inherit Zoom, done).
    Alternatively, you could manually build a TOC using cross-references if you want links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

  • Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page" when combining to one pdf?

    Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page"?
    When I combine multiple pdf files into a single binder, Acrobat creates a bookmark for each file.  In the properties for each bookmark, there is an action created to go to the page in the document and has the zoom level at "fit width".  Question is, how do I change this apparent default zoom level to "fit page" when Acrobat creates the bookmarks when combining the pdf files?

    Is there a way to do it in one step instead of individually on each bookmark?  This gets VERY cumbersome when I have upwards of a hundred bookmarks to change.

  • Keeping zoom levels

    I've had two different graphic designers create pdf files for me. One opens to the correct zoom level and the other does not, no matter what I set the zoom level to in Adobe Reader. Is there a setting when creating the pdf to keep the zoom level consistent no matter what the Reader is set to?

    Note that it's possible to set a user preference that overrides the document setting: Edit > Preferences > Accessibility > Override Page Display > Always Use Zoom Setting
    The following is where you can set the default if the document doesn't specify one: Edit > Settings > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom

  • Programmatically reset IE zoom level

    I have a web page that I display in a kiosk setting using a touch screen.  Viewers, often use the multi-touch "pinch" feature to zoom in on images, then walk away, leaving the page zoomed in.  Is there any way through css, javascript,
    vbscript, etc. to make this system reset to 100% zoom level periodically or whenever the page is reloaded (I have it auto-refresh every two hours)

  • Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos

    To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
    The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..

    Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?

  • Can I keep firefox at a 125% zoom level? I use my HDTV as a monitor and would like the view to be larger without having to hit "ctrl +" on each web page.

    I would like firefox to default to a 125% zoom level. Is ther a way I can do this through firefox or through my desktop?

    The following Add-on will allow you to set whatever default %-age works best for you. After install, go to Add-ons > Extensions > Default FullZoom Level > Options, in the Options window, "Default FullZoom Level (percent)". That will set ALL pages at your choice.

  • Acrobat Pro X stamps, comments do not display at certain zoom level

    A user found a bug in Adobe Pro 10.1.6.
    We have both Adobe Reader and Pro installed on Server 2008.
    A document stamped with dynamic signature: "APPROVED" do not show in Adobe Pro when opening.
    If the zoom level is being change then the stamp do show.
    Same document show the dynamic stamps in Adobe Reader.
    I reported the bug through this form https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Is there a workaround until a fix is comitted ?

    > Well, "Default" is what's in the maker.ini file as it exists "out of the box".
    That's to be expected, as up until the program is run for the first time, there's no opportunity at all for it to discover the screen size. I suppose Adobe could ask during the install, but not only is that annoying (and would complicate blind installs), the answer might be impossible to know (running FM in a VM window rather than on a real display, or historically, in an X-window on Unix).
    Even after FM is running, and even if using EDID API calls, I doubt FM is making such calls. When FM was first written, it was impossible for an ap to discover screen size. Up until VESA DDC2 in 1996, monitors were rarely capable of reporting anything to the attached computer. Had FM implemented DDC calls, it would have needed to add DDC/CI, then E-DDC, then several generations of EDID calls. And APIs for any of these would have been different for Unix, Mac and Windows, plus normal Windows churn.
    Most users don't care. Those that do have traditionally made inquiries and discovered the maker.ini entry for this.
    I might add that FM apparently can detect the aspect ratio of the screen (4:3, 16:9, 16:10), because it must know the raster extents in order to paint the windows and place the dialogs (it just doesn't know what inches or mm that corresponds to). This, I presume, is why it doesn't need to encode the A/R in maker.ini.

  • Can I lock in a zoom level (e.g. Page View) so it won't change?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent Adobe Reader from changing my zoom level.  I prefer to read with the zoom level set to Fit Page.  Every time I click on a bookmark to jump to another page in the document, the zoom level changes to Fit Width (I think).  This is extremely annoying because I have to keep changing the view back to Fit Page.  In preferences I have put the default zoom to Fit Page, but that only determines how it comes up initially.  When I click on a bookmark it changes again.
    I don't understand why the zoom changes when you click a bookmark at all.  Why would I want the zoom to change on me?
    FYI, I'm using Reader XI (11.0.08).
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Thanks CtDave.  I don't have anything besides the free reader, so I did some further research on the web and found a solution that is pretty "brute force", but is an option for others that only have the free reader.  Here is a link to the full description:
    http://superuser.com/questions/306803/zooming-size-of-pdf-files-and-bookmarks
    Here is the basics:  You can use a text editor and edit the PDF file.  Once in the text editor you can search for /FitH or /Fit (there surely are other codes, but those are the only ones I know of).  These are codes that tell Acrobat what kind of zoom level to apply to the destination of a jump.  So the bookmarks should all have these.  Simply do a search and replace with /XYZ.  The /XYZ code tells Acrobat to leave the zoom level as it already is.
    It might sound a bit weird, but I tried it on multiple files I was having trouble with and it worked great.  Of course, my suggestion would be to make backup copy of the file before doing this in case something goes wrong.
    Thanks.

  • Zoom level when opening a pdf in Preview from a Finder "find" window

    I do a Finder search, and the search window shows a bunch of pdf files. If I double click on one, it opens in Preview with the Finder search term highlighted in the pdf text-very nice. But the zoom level of the pdf is very high, like 300%. So I always need to zoom back out to 100% to see the context of the found term. Is there a way to change this default behavior?
    Another point is that once I open one of the pdf's, it vanishes from the Finder window. Although this might make sense in some ways, because, after all, I've already had a look at the file, it's often not the behavior I want. In particular, it's hard to know what the next pdf is that I was going to open, when the one I just looked at is no longer in the list. I should also point out that not all pdf's vanish in this way, but most do. I can't see any pattern.

    Hi,
    You mentioned that "JavaScript in the PDF can hide toolbar buttons."
    According to the Javascript docs for Acrobat 7 the App.HideToolbarButton function only runs at AppInit.  Which means that I would have to have the javascript in a file.  How can I do that from within the document?  Is there another way to to do set this from our web application?
