Acrobat forgets all my magnification sizes, resetting them all
to 217%, 300% etc. A different one for each page.

To make everything just open at 100 percent magnification, I tried File-->Properties--> Initial View, set to actual size or 100 percent magnification,
then saved the document.

But it still doesnt work!?
As soon as a switch to the next page, it jumps back to a 217 or 300 percent!

The last question I have, is it possible to change magnification size for only one page
in the document?

Say I have 100 percent set to all documents, but I need 75 percent on page three, can I do that?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Macintosh

Hi --

Check out the options available in the Page Display preferences. There are settings for default zoom and page layouts.

Thank you dbaker!

I figured out that it is an action I need which will determine the size for a page(s) independent of the entire document size... but then I ran into something here that maybe you could help me with?

1) I go to the page navigator and select which page(s) i want to modify (shift click)
2) In that navigator panel I go to Options--> Page properties
3) Then Actions-->Page open--> 'Execute a menu item'It's at this point I get to choose from a long list of actions, which is great, but
I get a little lost because after I chose from either 'File-->Properties', or 'View Zoom'
(I'm assuming one of these is the action I need) I don't see where I can choose to input a specific zoom size for my page unless it pops up on my page next time I open the document?

Any advice is much appreciated!
