Hi!
I create the form in LiveCycle Designer 8 and after I want to set the Initial View to 100% in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended.
But all tabs are inactive in Properties Dialogue Box in Acrobat Pro Extended, but if I create a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended it’s no problem.
Is it not possible to set Initial View if I create the PDF with forms in LiveCycle Designer? I have not find settings for this issue in LiveCycle Designer 8.
 
Best from Peter

It is not possible to set the initial page view settings for a LiveCycle PDF :-( Actually, this is a document level setting so it should be possible, but there just isn't a UI for it. However, if your motivated you can write a DocReady script that would setup the initial zoom.

Try this in the DocReady event for the top level node in the form hierarchy:

event.target.zoom = 100;

Thank's thomp!

I understand your point, but I'm not a professional in this even though I create pdf for my company! So you mean I put this string in the xml source in Adobe Live Cycle Designer, but where and how?
Or do I have to write a script?

You mean the string goes in here somewhere;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesignerES_V8.2.1.4029.1.523496" APIVersion="2.8.9029.0"?><?formServer defaultPDFRenderFormat acrobat7.0.5static?>
<?formServer allowRenderCaching 0?>
<?formServer formModel both?>Thank you once again!

Peter
