Hey all, new to the forums here. Didn't find the answer to this via Google search, or via forum search, so I figured I'd post and see if someone can shoot me straight on this.
The issue I'm having is this: Acrobat pro and Acrobat reader treat any PDF file I open as different sizes. That is, when I open [b]someFileNameHere.pdf[/b] in Acrobat Pro, viewing at page width shows the zoom to be 63.4%. Opening the same file in Reader, viewing at page width shows the zoom level as 173%.
This is a normal 8.5" x 11.0" page. Clicking "actual size" in Reader zooms so that I can see about 3/4ths of the height of the page (and all of the width, plus empty margins), whereas clicking "actual size" in Acrobat pro enlarges the document such that I can only see about 1/4th the height of the document, and about 2/3rds of the width. Basically just zoomed way in on the top-left corner.
So far, this hasn't presented any serious problem, as we've always been able to work around it, but I was curious if anyone else had experienced this issue.
[b]Acrobat Pro and Reader Version:[/b] 8.1.5
[b]Monitor size:[/b] 1680 x 1050
[b]OS:[/b] Windows XP Pro w/ SP3
Thanks in advance!
Fit "actual size" sets the zoom to 100%. How much of the PDF is visible depends on the size of the viewing area.
