Acrobat DC ignores document properties initial view

I have several pdf forms for which I have saved the document after choosing my preferred initial view settings, but for some of them it seems that Acrobat completely ignores my settings. As an example, for one pdf I have my settings at Page only, single page continuous, fit width, but the pdf opens to 34.6% maginification, resizes the window to fit the document, and continues to open at that magnification if I change the intial view settings to other options, save and re-open the pdf. Is there a reason this is happening, and is there a means to make Acrobat follow my document settings?

    Go to Edit (or the Acrobat app menu if you're using a Mac) - Preferences - Page Display and make sure that both Page Layout and Zoom are set to Automatic. Also, in the same dialog, under Accessibility, make sure that the two check-boxes under "Override Page Display" are not ticked, then try it again.
