links and targets

I have a pdf created out of Zuken E3. It has a lot of links that take you to certain pages in the pdf. This works well.

My questions are:

Can I globally change the Zoom level on all the links? Currently it is set to a custom level that is not customizable.

Can I set the bookmarks to scroll to the highlighted target page?

Can I set the target to highlight when the link takes you to it?

Thanks

2) OK, I understand now. It's not possible to cause the Bookmarks panel to scroll to a specific position.


Open View set page display to scrolling,  Under content editing select Edit Text & Images, Add or Edit Link. Select one of the links, then press control A to select all the links. Press control E to pull up the link Properties menu. Select more, actions, add an action, Execute a menu item, Bookmarks>expand Current Bookmark. Then  add another action, Execute a menu item, Bookmarks>Highlight Current Bookmark. The only issue we have left is the scrolling. It seems that the custom setting is using coordinates to drive the location that it is zooming into.

Thanks

1) Yes, but not from within Acrobat directly. It requires either a plugin or a stand-alone tool, like this one I developed:

Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Edit Links Zoom Level

2) What do you mean by "highlighted target page", exactly?

3) You can do that using a custom-made script, but it's not so simple.

Will look at the link from home seems to be blocked at work.

2) When you click on a link it takes you to the target page, which in turn has a bookmark associated with it. The bookamark gets highlighted but you have to scroll the bookmarks to find the one that is highlighted.
