MAXIMISED WINDOW

How do I get Acrobat to run in maximised window?

I am sick of constantly having to maximise EVERY SINGLE WINDOW when I open Acrobat.

There used to be a way of finding the .exe file, and then right click and select a "run maximised" option.  Can't find that.

PS  I'm running Acrobat in the "old mode" as the newest version of Acrobat is awful.

Thanks all.

It's not a setting of the EXE file itself, but it is of a shortcut to it. Create a shortcut for acrobat.exe, go to its Properties, and under the Shortcut tab change the "Run" drop-down to "Maximized":

I have the same issue with Acrobat, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator since the last update!

Thanks.  I set up the shortcut , set Run Maximised.  Then when I opened a pdf by double clicking on it in Explorer, it did NOT open maximised.  

I had to Restart my computer.  Then it worked.
