HI Guys,
I have a landscape PDF document with some 20 pages I wish to distribute to some staff.

Each page is a custom view on 56%. Every page has a standard "Back" "Next" button on it with "Go to a Page View" controls to allow the users to move forward and back through the 20 pages

Although I have kept the size pages on each page the same and each page has the same "Go to a Page View" controls 56% - the final PDF seem to changes sizes on certain pages??

Apparently you use "PAGE DISPLAY in PREFERENCE and change the DEFAULT LAYOUT & ZOOM to your desired page, lets say 100%. Close Acrobat and restart application - - But I can't set the Acrobat Reader setting for each user?

I am thinking about forcing the page view via javascript - however there must be a simpler way?? any ideas

cheers
gazzz

The Page Display preference is utilized when there isn't an Initial View when opening the document. Do you have your Initial View set (ctrl + d)?

Sometimes the Document Preference "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" can throw a monkey wrench in things. Is this setting selected?

Also, 56% isn't an option under the Initial View (ctrl+d). What do you have selected under Initial View tab, Magnification pull-down?
