How can I make the settings for multiple PDFs to open with the first page?

[Sean_McD]

I have a folder of 400 pdfs. Because they were editted and resaved, not all were saved with the first page showing. Now, when they're opened, they open on the page that was showing when saved. Is there a way to select them all and change their settings where they will all open with the first page, or do I have to go in and resave them with the first page showing?

Thanks for any help

Two things you may want to inspect:

A PDF file's initial view is defined in the files Document Properties, on the Initial View tab.  A page  number can be defined here, and it does not have to be page 1.

Also, you may have a setting in your Preferences that  remembers how  your files  were being displayed the last time they were open, and returns to it.

See if one of these settings can be tweaked to get the result you need.

My best,

Dave

Okay, Thanks, but I have two questions for you.

If I changed the settings of my PDF, re-opened and then closed them, would they open on the first page at another computer? Or, would I have to reopen and close them? The folder is being saved and is going to another office. I would just like to have them open on the first page when they go to view them.

Thanks,

Sean

The latter setting only applies on your own computer. It does not affect the files at all.

If you open them on another computer they will open at the first page (or whatever page is set under Initial View).
