Is it possible to set the document’s initial view?

By January 23, 2006

 

To set the initial view or zoom level when opening a PDF you can use the Document Properties Initial View tab (File > Document Properties or Control-D). From this dialog box (shown below) you can set how the PDF will open in Adobe Reader.

Hi Cliff Gleason,

These settings allow to control how other people see the initial view when you send them a PDF.

Thanks,
Lori

You can achieve similar results in Reader under Preferences, Page Display.

Hi Olga,

This is only available when using Acrobat Std. or Pro. not the free Adobe Reader.
