Configure merged PDF file to display pages of individual PDFs at 100%

I've merged five PDFs into one PDF and would like all the views to be the same size when the PDF is opened. Several of the individual PDFs are one page, others are five pages. I have the Display set as "Single Page" and Magnification at "100%"

The first two PDF files in the merged PDF display correctly at 100%. Each are one page only.

However, the third of the single page PDFs in the merged PDF displays at something around 30% of it's size. The PDF with 5 pages displays it's pages in sizes a bit bigger than thumbnails.

How can I set the merged PDF to display all the pages of the individual PDFs at 100%?

Just nattering again, but here are somethings to try.

For the output PDF from the merge.
Go into the Page view navigation panel.
Put cursor focus there. Select all pages.
Right click. Select Page Properties.
Select the Actions tab.
Delete anything in the Actions window.
For Select Trigger - pick Page Open.
For Select Action - pick Execute a menu item.
Click the Add... button.
Locate and select View > Zoom > Actual Size (which, typically, is 100% magnification).or

Edit > Preferences > Category Page Display > Select 100% for the Default Zoom in the Default Layout and Zoom pane.
Then merge the PDFs.

Be well...

Tried your second method, no change in the display.

But the first method worked perfectly. Would never have known that process, without your help. Thanks!
