Default Page Size Not Retained

I have just installed Adobe X Pro after having been using 9 Pro. I am on Windows 7.

When I set Page Layout to Single Page and Fit Page it goes back to automatic after I close the document. I have tried checking, in Documents, Restore Last View Setting... that doesn't help. I want document, previously created with 9 Pro to open full page. I want new documents to be full page. Is there a setting I am missing?

      It worked.

      I have the latest version of Adobe DC Pro (monthly subscription). I am unable to get some PDFs to remain consistently at fit page width/display. The particular one I'm working on at the moment opens at 74.6% and even if I change it to "fit page," as soon as I click on a bookmark it reverts back to 74.6%. "Fit page" isn't available from the drop-down zoom menu. I've tried changing the default to fit page in edit/preferences. I've also told the accessibility set up assistant to override the zoom level to fit page but it makes no difference.


      PS. I've now changed all of those settings to "fit width" instead and, fingers crossed, it seems to work. I don't understand why fit page is referred to in all of the settings but is not in the drop-down list but that seems to be the source of the problem! As I appear to have answered my own question, no need for a response. I will come back if I have any further difficulty.

      1. File -> Properties -> Initial View is just to check whether you have any initial view set with that document or not.

      2. Can you try changing page display as you had been doing in a NULL Acrobat. By NULL Acrobat, I mean - launch only Acrobat and don't open any pdf in it. Then change page layout, zoom and close acrobat.

      3. Do you have reader installed on the same machine? If yes, which version exactly?

      4. Is it a multi-user system? Which user are you logged in as - admin or standard?

      Thanks.

      Arun,

      1. I opened a random pdf and the initial view was "Default".

      2. I tried changing the page display in a NULL Acrobat and that didn't help. The page display and layout go back to Automatic.

      3. I do not have Acrobat Reader installed on this machine. I have Acrobat X, Adobe Elements, and Acrobat Distiller.

      4. I am the only user and am the Administrator.

      Thanks,

      George

      Edit> Preferences - on the Page display tab.  This is where you can configure those settings.

      Ehren, I set the preferences in Edit|Preferences|Page Display. I did this in Acrobat Pro 9 and it worked fine. I am doing the same thing in Acrobat Pro X and it isn't working for me. I am wondering if I am missing something.

      Do the documents have a initial view setting? If so, that takes precedence over your settings.

      I assume they do not. I don't know how to tell. They were created by scanning with Acrobat 9 Pro. I never had the problem with 9 Pro. I set the page-size default and it just worked.

      To test I just printed a document from Word to Acrobat X and saved it on my Desktop. It displayed full page. I then closed Acrobat and reopened (without the document) and set the defaults to single page and fit page. Then I opened the Desktop document and the settings did not work. The settings had both reverted to Automatic.

      I opened, by the way, by double-clicking the document.
