Question

pdf opens zoomed in

Hello,

My issue happens when I create a PDF from a Word document.  I then save the pdf (to my desktop for example) and later when I open it, it opens automatically zoomed to 195%.  How can I change this behavior so that the pdf automatically opens to a normal 100%?

Thank you!

Open the PDF in Acrobat (not Reader) and go to File> Properties> Initial View> Magnification> Fit Page. Save.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the answer.  I create these PDFs and then post them on SharePoint for many employees to open and review.  Do you happen to know, if I make this change before I post the document, should it open normally (not extremely zoomed in) for everyone who accesses it from SharePoint?  I can always test it to see how it works.

A PDF opened in Acrobat or Reader will view at the desired magnification, You'll have to test it for Sharepoint.
