Question

Adobe reader preferences

OK, the problem I am having is, being able to simply save default preferences so that every pdf opens with the same view and tool defaults

 

I am hoping that after 20+ years of invested research, technological improvements, and most importantly the solid customer service reputation that caters the product to the general consumer marketbase, such as a freeware to just read pdfs, there is a practical and convenient solution to an issue that seems to me, would be the FIRST THING considered when applying the concept of USEABILITY

 

I dont want to buy cloud ok, adobe is a failed state. I just want to be able to not have to customize every pdf in my catalogue

 

and would be nice to buy a retail version of CS, since the discs I bought for $500 are now obsolete. thanks adobe for forcing everyone to pay a subscription to use your bloated clunky and unimproved software /rant off

 

I cant wait for the responses. I hope this is simple, like clicking the default view in preferences or something...

The default view in preferences should work, UNLESS the document creator set a different size. When the person viewing the document and the person making the document disagree, Adobe favour the person making it.

 

I agree, it would be nice to be able to buy CS. But you still can't. Tip: it's best to post a question OR a rant, you really reduce the number of people who might try to help, because they know they just get their heads bitten off.

lol, thanks for the response and the sdvice.

 

it used to work as it should just fine, no issues

 

i dont what happened. but now i have to go into preferences everytime. it is stupid ridiciculous

 

its a time quicksand - i waste more time unravelling the knots than i do tying my shoes

 

I have opened the documents as admin, opned the reader solo as admin. even saving the document to reopen the same , doesnt work. how can adobe justify its sad and totally indifferent concern about its own work? I thought such a successful entity would at least set an example of anything but less than mediocre

 

way to stifle the piracy concern at the expense of quality and customer appreciation @ADOBE, GRACIAS POR NADA

1. What is the app you are running. You mentioned Adobe Reader, which was obsolete years ago. Do you actually have Acrobat Reader?

2. Do you mean that you change the preferences, and next time you run the app, they have changed back? This can happen if permissions in your system are messed up.
