Question

Adobe reader menu text very small

Hi Adobe forum

I have an issue, my menu items are very small, which means that it is hard to read, in addition to adobe handling the text badly, as seen below in the printer settings.

This is also a problem in the menus, when i click on them and the possible items drops down, but not on the menu button itself.

How do i remedy this? I have been through the options, which didn't help me.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Best regards

Martin

I used the fix below but it only worked for the current document - was not a permament fix

Menu > View > Display size > Large

I'm not sure if this is an option in Reader but it works in Acrobat.

Hope this helps,

Holly

Thanks, that helped. The menu text and icons could still be a little larger.

Adobe, are you listening?

With the latest Acrobat Reader, I used "Menu --> View -->Display size--> [Small/Standard/Large].  Both Standard and Large worked for me (I have a 4K monitor).

I found it!! 

 

Menu-view-page display. 

 

I searched 'preferences' a million times but nothing worked. Adobe just but the setting in a wonky place!

I am unable to find it and it is making Adobe unusable. If this doesn't change, I will need to go to another provider.

On an 8k screen, with Windows adjusted to cope wit hthe resolution,, the menu items are invisible. Using screen magnifier shows that most text is missing and what exists is upside down and at a 30 degree angle. This application has gone from cranky to utterly unusable in the past month.

I'm getting a headache trying to see pixel measurements when cropping images -- why isn't there help for those of us with vision disabilities (but aren't yet blind)?

Thanks, Marting to share your facing problem about Adobe Reader Menu bar. Adobe Reader makes to work in any screen resolution, it detects automatically and changes their application according to screen pixels and resolution. Reader Menu depends on their system and screen resolution and apps versions. You can increase menu size on the reader to easily visible.

Under Edit > Preferences > General check to make sure "Scale for screen resolution" isn't set to 200%.

Hi there.

I am unable to find the setting, which makes me unsure if i reported the correct program - I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2019.008.20081

My settings page looks lige this:

Is there anywhere else where this setting might be located (including a registry key)? i have searched every menu for it, but did not find it.
