Keep acrobat window size

[TIM5CC9]

How do I tell acrobat to remember the window size?  I am running Acrobat Pro version 2021.001.20149. Mac High Sierra. Example: open pdf. Resize window. close pdf. open pdf. I have to resize window again.

Got it.

I will add the discussion with engineering in my follow-up conversation. 
I have unlocked the discussion as you requested. It may have been locked due to any comment/s that didn't match the title.

Hi @steve_8887, 

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been discussing this issue internally. 
I have some follow-up questions:

1. Could you please confirm the exact version of the Acrobat:

2. Are you experiencing this issue on a dual monitor setup or on a single-screen
3.  Is it a laptop or a  Desktop system?

1.

Single screen (32 inch 4K)

Desktop. Well, Laptop used as Desktop, external monitor and keyboard.

Hi @Nasenschein, 

Thanks for the swift response. 
Is the issue reproducible for you if you disconnect the external monitors?

I have not had any issues in months, but I#ve switched to PDFGear, so.....

Honestly, if any of the higher ups care, all that AI and online JUNK was getting on my nerves more than this issue. I just want a PDF app.

[Tariq Ahmad]

I can understand, and sorry for the troubled experience. 
I will share the feedback with the product team. 

If you want to get rid of the AI and online stuff, you can disable New Acrobat.  

You can disable the new Acrobat experience and revert to the “classic” layout:

1. Open Acrobat.
2. Go to Menu (≡) in the upper-left corner.
3. Select Disable New Acrobat.
4. Acrobat will relaunch with the previous interface.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for keeping this issue active Tariq, I and I'm sure, many others appreciate it.

My version of Adobe Acrobat is:
Continous Release | Version 2025.001.20577 | 64-bit
Though the same issue happens with the Acrobat Reader DC as well.

My computer is a laptop with which I normally run a dual 24" monitor setup, though the issue also happens when I am using only the laptop screen and NOT plugged into the docking station.

Here is a link to a spec sheet, this pdf will trigger the resize and relocate that we are all complaining about. Download and save this test file.
https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/specs/prox5mmpd.pdf

Open your Acrobat and size it to be about 2/3 the display area of your primary monitor then dbl-click to open the test file. It will resize and relocate your Acrobat.

Now if you are running a dual monitor setup place the Acrobat on a different monitor, not the primary, and repeat the test setup above. It will resize and relocate Acrobat back to the Primary display.

To add to the oddness of this behavior on my system if I have Acrobat fully expanded to fit my display, full screen, the resize and relocate does NOT happen though I believe that other users have said the full screen resize and relocate does happen on their systems.

If you read through this discussion carefully other user describe their Acrobat usage setups.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/completely-fully-disable-100-of-any-and-all-auto-...

To sum up, this is the behavior that we would like to have the option to disable.
That the settings contained within a PDF file have the ability to hijack our Acrobat and change it is quite the pain numerous time per day, every day.

Thanks, and I hope that you are able to make progress with this issue.

The product team actually did some work in this area. Given that this discussion is very old, it slipped. 
I have filed a bug with the product engineering on this, and I am gathering all the information on the subject. 

If I need more information or you can help reproduce this issue, we may schedule a meeting online.

Thank you for your patience and support.
