Hi Kenberg,

Each PDF can have it's own page and view settings (File -->Document Properties --> Initial View tab).
If you want to reuse a setting from a previous session then you can set the following preference (Edit --> Preferences --> Documents "Restore last view setting when reopening documents".Note: this particular setting appears to override any Initial View setting you may have selected for your PDFs.

Hope this helps,
Lori

I just looked at one of my files on a friend's cptr and the page views when selected from Bookmark were approx 92% and way too big for the page, allowing only about 1/3 of the page to be seen. When we selected with the arrows, or by scrolling we got Page View which is what I want. The Bookmark got out of synch with the defaults, I think. How can I keep views as defaulted. I can't expect viewer to go thru a routine to select
'last image viewed'. I want to be able to rely on viewers on various cptrs being able to see the image the way I set it up.

Can you suggest a software that will turn PDF into Media supported format so that PDF DVDs can be opened on TV video player?

I can set up my pdf file as shown above. But when opened on another cptr the view is different. How can I arrange that what I select when creating pdf will be whatg is seen by others?

Also, can you recommend to convert pdf to media viewable format?
