Hello,

I'm a newbie and need to know ... Am I just missing it? A setting or something? I want to create a PDF and place it on my website, but I want the focus of the PDF when opened to fit the page in the screen rather than zoomed it so you can only see a quarter of the page. Or is there a recommended setting? Please help.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

In Acrobat 9, open the document, right-click anywhere on a page, select Document Properties, select the Intial View tab, and select what you want in the Magnification drop-down. I usually prefer Fit Width, but which is preferred may depend on the page orientation (portrait vs landscape). It sounds like you want Fit Page.

You can set the initial page zoom in the PDF properties initial view.

You can add docudment level script:

// set zoom type to fit page
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitp

If you are linking to the PDF from a web server you can inclde the zoom parameter in the link:
