Initial zoom setting

My documents all open at 238% which is very unpleasant. How can I choose a different default for the percentage I want to apply to documents when they open instead of having to always manually adjust the setting?

You can also set the initial zoom level of each PDF- File> Properties> Initial view> magnification. A PDF with an initial view setting will overide the default zoom set in preferences.

You can set the default zoom level under Edit (or the app menu on a Mac) - Preferences - Page Display.

Thank you, try67! I don't know how I missed the Preferences Menu! What a relief 😉
