I create Health & safety files for the construction industry and all the information comes in various forms AutoCAD, Word, Excel, Scanned pdfs, etc. I compile all the documents into 1 fully bookmarked PDF document.
The issue i have is if I create a PDF from AutoCAD using the PDF maker it creates a book mark of the drawing number and sets the zoom level to FIT PAGE (this is correct as it enables you to see the whole drawing).
However if i have been sent PDF's of drawings or word documents and i compile then using the "Create PDF from Multiple files" and merge then into one. I can create bookmarks or leave them as the file name and let it create my document. When you open the PDF and select a Bookmark it is saved as Zoom level "FIT WIDTH".
How can i get it to default to FIT PAGE during this process or globally change it after creation (most documents have about 200 drawings in so it can be very time consuming to edit each bookmark's zoom level?
Thank you for your help
You can easily fix the situation using a batch sequence. Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Sequence. Follow the dialog boxes. In the Edit Sequence dialog, add the Open Options from the Document listing. Double-click the setting to open the Set Open Options dialog box, at the upper right select the magnification you want to use.Proceed through the remaining dialog boxes to save and store the batch sequence.
You can read more on batch sequences in my recent article here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/10/baking_batch_of_pdf/
