Is there a faster way to set the Intiail View settings in Acrobat? Can I save my settings in a Preset somewhere?

Try this. Click File, Properties, Initial View and set the desired zoom level.

You could also insert a JavaScript in the Page Properties. Insert this code for the page propertie when the page opens.

this.zoom = 75;

Change the number to the desired zoom level.

well... i want to set a bunch of stuff... show pages panel, set zoom to "fit in window," show file name.

i guess i really want a preset for "document properties" overall

You could use Batch Processing in Acrobat Professional - the OPEN OPTIONS command would have the initial view options embedded.

This could even be applied at a folder level - drop all PDFs into the folder, execute the Batch command and job done ...

I've been using Acrobat since v1.0 and still get amazed by its power. An Acrobat ACE since 1999

Acrobat 3D will allow you to zoom to a specific location on a page.

You might try developing a plug-in using the Acrobat SDK as an alternative.

Is there anyway either in Acrobat Pro or Designer to modify this.zoom = 75;
to zoom to a specific quadrant or the region where the button is? Thanks, Brennan.
