Zoom settings in illustrator

IS there a way to set up custom zoom settings in Illustrator? My zoom jumps from 150% to 100%. It would be great to get it somewhere in the middle.

> doesn't that just save the current zoom state?
Well, did you try it?
It saves the current
view (including zoom, position, visibility).
I frequently save a view at 133% zoom, which compensates for Illustrator's 72ppi vs. Windows 96ppi. When zoomed to 133, screen captures paste back into AI at a size that matches what was captured.
I also would much prefer for Illustrator to allow one to edit the value lists of popup menus like zoom and stroke weight, but it doesn't. Saving Views is a workaround for selecting a particular user-defined zoom from a menu.

How do i turn off scrubby zoom in latest illustrator CC ?

How do i turn off scrubby zoom in latest illustrator CC ?
I tried looking in the preferences panel and googleing it- didn't work-
Somebody was talking about preferences->experimental features - i didn't find such tab in preferences

Same problem here, but it doesn't matter what preview I use (CPU or GPU), both have the scrubby zoom.
I found the solution in the "Preferences/GPU Performance": disable the function " Enable Animated Zoom".
When this option is not cheked, then the scrubby zoom is off.

Maverick - Save Custom Zoom Settings?

Is there a way to save zoom settings in Maverick? In Mountain Lion, my zoom settings would be saved in Safari, Pages, Numbers etc. So once I set the desired zoom, every time I opened the program the same zoom settings were already set. Now every time I reopen those progams, it loses my zoom settings. I tried rolling back to Pages/Numbers 9, but it's the same thing, so it seems like a Maverick issue. Am I missing something somewhere?

In Safari my zoom would never be saved either with ML or Mavericks. I thought that was the way it was. Stays OK with Chrome.

Unknown error - (PARM), .pdf settings and Illustrator problems

I am using Illustrator CS3, and recently I no longer had choices for .pdf settings when saving from Illustrator as a .pdf. The only setting is "Custom" and I can't scroll to another choice. As I understand it, if I load .pdf settings in Illustrator they are available in all Adobe applications (very possibly wrong about that), but when I choose Edit: Adobe PDF Presets, I get an error message: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. (PARM)". Also when I try to save an .eps file as an AI document, I get the message "An unknown error has occurred."
I have thrown away my preferences to no avail, and am afraid I am going to have to reload Illustrator CS3, which I downloaded last year and do not have the disks for, I which I am having a very hard time trying to download again. (This part I guess I have to call about).
I usually work in Quark, but recently worked in some files in InDesign, and that's when this started, I think. Perhaps a coincidence. Many thanks in advance for any help.

AM,
Okay, so sorry. But you and Wade are official, right? Can you help point me
in the right direction for getting replacement disks for my legally
purchased software Or getting download help so that I might re-download?
We are rather unofficial natives here. You should contact Adobe Customer Support about downloading.
You should be able to get rid of the error if you Move the folder, but it is still worth having the backup, even if you upgrade.

How do I migrate settings in Illustrator after updating from CC to CC 2014?

I have just updated from CC to CC 2014 and was not given the option to migrate settings for Illustrator as I was for Photoshop. How can I do this?

I don't know if this is the easiest way to do it, but it works.
Hard Drive> Users (choose your name) > Library (if you don't see the Library - View> View Options> Show Library Folder) >Application Support > Adobe
You should see Adobe Illustrator 17 & 18 folders
Adobe Illustrator 17> en_US in this folder you will find your saved Brushes, Swatches, Symbols etc...
Open the Adobe Illustrator 18> en_US and manually place any of files from Ai 17 into the appropriate folders in Ai 18. Restart Ai 18 and check to see that everything is in place.

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

Trap settings in illustrator?

I have made a logo in illustrator. It is a 3 color logo. I have a green box with yellow shape in it. This logo is placed in InDesign. The press operator would like a trap. How do I do this? Do I change settings in illustrator or in InDesign? And then how do I do that?
Thank you
Tami
PS I am hoping that I will find an answer soon. Thanks for your help.

@Wade:
This is not nonsense - it is a very specialized set of functions for a very specific purpose. Can it be handled in such a cavalier way as you suggest? Sure it can - and I've been fixing those errors for years.
"…There would be no reason to trap it if it were process…" You cannot make this claim with the given variables (or lack thereof).
"…I gave them a simple solution regardless of what the situation was…" You gave them "a solution" but one that may not be appropriate. It does not cover any situation.
This is not a "wrong side of the bed" situation. You are not giving Tami relevant advice since you cannot know what her particular situation is. This isn't a matter of whim - there are right ways and wrongs ways to trap - it is an inescapable truth. As a teacher (and please don't misunderstand your function here) you have a responsibility to convey the correct information. (BTW - unless people are specifically asking for opinions, people come in here asking questions to learn - that makes the responders Teachers.) What if you told Tami the wrong thing - the print job ran wrong, and she got fired over it - would you feel no responsibility for your advice?
@Mario:
It is indeed an Art. I cut my teeth with Rubylith and Amberlith doing hand-cut color separations, creating film-based traps with vacuum frames and pos/negs… ahh. Electronic trapping is cleaner but I miss the stripping tables some days.

2 extra zeros zoom settings Numbers '08 in Mountain Lion

After I installed Mountain Lion my iWork 08 Numbers' zoom settings on the bottom of the spreadsheet show as: 2500%, 5000%, 7500%, 10000%, 12500% etc, instead of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%.
The default zoom setting in Preferences show the correct setting (ie 25%, 50%).
How do I solve this?

Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites. Clearing history isn't being used

Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites.
In Clearing history .. I am not clearing site perferences

Hello,
Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
You can adjust your screen resolution.
To modify it do the following:
* Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
* If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
* Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
[[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
* Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

LifeCam Studio not retaining ZOOM settings

I have a requirement (a Kiosk based exhibit) to set and retain the zoom setting of a LifeCam Studio. The zoom factor needs to stay locked, in order to properly frame in a scene. The zoom settings is retained with a machine reboot, however, the zoom
resets to the default farthest out setting after a shutdown.
I have an interactive application that was developed last year, that just accesses the video for frame images.
Is there an easy way to set and retain the zoom setting, without having to have programmer modify the code, using some MS API's?
Please advise
Regards
Andy

Randomly changing zoom method in Illustrator CC

Does anyone know how to change the zoom method from 'marquee zoom' (zooms to box drawn on screen) to the newer 'scrubby zoom' (click and hold while moving mouse zooms drawing in and out) and back again...mine seems to be changing at random or I am hitting a key combo that I cant find listed...it even uses a different zoom method between documents in same instance of illustrator CC...on screenshots of older versions I have seen zoom options in preferences that I cant find in CC...pretty annoying...
Windows 8.1

Ok, I just found that it probably isn't random but it uses 'Marquee Zoom' if you start a document with a 'Print' profile and uses 'Scrub Zoom' in the other profiles...is there any way to change this without starting a new document? Not sure why zoom method would be tied to your intended output, isn't it more of a personal preference thing?

How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen. How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
Open textedit and create a new document.
Add the following 3 lines to the file
body {
zoom: 175%
Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.

Zoom Settings in Safari, Firefox & Chrome

Hello,
Is there a way to get the right and left sides of web pages automatically zoomed to the edge of the screen? I would have thought that Safari would be advanced enough to handle this on a Retina display. I could even deal with me having to manually zoom in on pages that i view often if Safari would just remember the view settings. I am new to OSX.
Thanks

In any of the apps you mention, if you drag and size the screen as you want it to appear and quit the app the sizing should remain set at that on subsequent launches - until you change it again. At least does on the two Macs (non-retina) I just tested it on.

Overriding Bookmark Zoom settings in Adobe Reader XI

Hi.
I work at a company that uses preset bookmarks to navigate very large Adobe files that are hundreds of pages in length. I have set my Page Display Zoom level at 75%, and have also checked the "Always use Zoom Setting" set at 75% in the Override Page Display section of the Accesibility menu as well. When I open a file, the initial zoom level reflects these settings. However, upon clicking on a bookmark in the navigation bar, the zoom level changes to the zoom level set for the bookmark. The override settings I set in Accessibility do not work on the bookmark settings, and I have to resize every time I click a bookmark. Is there a way in Adobe Reader XI to override these settings? Thank you!

Hi again
I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
disable in Internet Explorer 8.
If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
the plugin.
Another method is between the guide for accessibility
(edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
checkbox.
Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
find the same assistant?
Very thanks.
Regards
Boholdt
