Question

"Fit Artboard in Window" as default view when opening files?

I receive all different size files from different users, sometimes opening and reviewing 40-60 files at a time. It would be a real help if I could force every AI file to open with "Fit Artboard in Window" as the default view. Thoughts?

are all file in a single folder? perhaps you can try recording an action to Fit the current document in Window, then run your action in Batch Mode to open all your files.

    Thanks, CarlosCanto. Not as elegant of a feature as I'd like, but it does work. The 'Fit Artboard in Window' menu item has to be inserted for the action to work, but once that was done, I added a key command to invoke the Actions window when I have no documents open, then use Actions panel menu to select Batch... and point it at the folder containig the files I need to review. It's different, but I'll make it work.
