Default settings in a portfolio

I'm loving what I can do with portfolio.

It might seem a minor point but I would prefer to have the individual PDF documents open in "one page at a time view" when the reader clicks on a card. But "fill the window with each page and scroll" is apparently the default.

Can I change this somehow?

Thanks ... Bernie Perry

Each PDF within a Portfolio respects the initial display settings within itself (and the default for Acrobat/Reader is usually fit-width). If you change the settings on each PDF before building the Portfolio, they'll open as you've told them to.

To change the default used for Acrobat/Reader (on all documents) use Edit..Preferences..Page Display...

You can apply a new initial display mode to multiple files using a batch sequence, by defining a new sequence and adding the "Open options" command, drilling into it and changing the display/zoom/etc. as required.
