Initial View Settings Ignored

I used to be able to set Initial View settings in the Document Properties dialog box, I've done it countless times over the years, never had a problem until now.

 

Those settings do nothing now.  Every PDF I create is now set to Zoom to Fit and Continuous Scroll, which opens to what appears to be an empty file, until you scroll to the right and come upon a long, tiny column of pages. What's worse is it doesn't even start at the top, it just randomly picks a place somewhere.  The files are worthless because nobody will know what to do to view them.

 

Is there something else I have to do now to regain Initial View control?

Settings in Preference : Accessibility can overide document's settings.

You should check that.

There were only 2 things checked there: 

• Use document structure for tab order when no explicit tab order is specified.

• Enable assistive technology support

 

I turned both off and retried.  There was one difference, you no longer have to scroll to the right to see the stack of tiny pages.  Still not what I need, but at least that one problem is solved.  Thanks!

Have you changed the initial view after creation of the files?

Yes, countless times.
