Everytime, I change my page. My magnification box/zoom changes to the top left of the document. Sometimes I want to compare details on different pages. I don't wish to keep panning around after going to the next page. How to set up adobe acrobat to remember my position when I go to the next or previous page?
I did quite a few tests and I think you are right, there is just no way to keep focus on the same area of the page while advancing to the next page. It always brings you top-left when advancing.
@JR Boulay Hello, thanks for your answer. Sorry for the late response. But I don't think it solves my concern.
I wish to move through different pages but without changing the view. If that makes sense. By default, acrobate will orient me to the top left of the page everytime I change the page if I was zoomed in. All I want is to keep the view box at the same place as I move through different pages.
As stated by other contributors, this is just the normal behavior of Adobe Acrobat. There are two things that might work for you. 1.) Create a bookmark for each page and set the location of the bookmark view to the area you want to zoom in on. Then navigate the pages using bookmarks. 2.) Use View > Zoom > Pan & Zoom. This allows you to navigate from page to page and quickly direct focus to the area you want to zoom in on very quickly.
I think this would be a very useful feature - particularly when reviewing building drawings and comparing floor plans. For instance, you might want to zoom in on a particular area of the floor plan and then flip through following pages to see how things change from floor to floor. Maybe Adobe could consider adding this feature - it doesn't seem like it would be big deal to implement.
