Which setting do you want to override, and under what circumstances?

The initial zoom and window-size settings.  Otherwise, I'll be trying to review 10 documents in a window and then an 11th one will ruin the window size and zoom settings for the other 10 documents because some weirdo decided the document had to be viewed in an 18-inch window at 188% zoom level.

    Acrobat does what it does when the document is first opened. But after that point a script can be used to set the current view settings and even some of the document initail view settings can be changed. 

    You can create a toolbar button or menu item that will run a script to setup the view parameters you'd like. 


    So I guess that script will have to be run every single time I open a new PDF?  How would I accomplish that?

     

    It seems far preferable just to allow the user to disable the problematic behavior in the first place.
