PDF PAGE LINK OPENS TOO LARGE OR TOO SMALL

[edwinp10485205]

From Dec 26 -27, 2018, I converted 15 PowerPoints into Adobe Acrobat PDFs with page links and did not encounter any problems. On Dec. 28, I converted two PPTs into Adobe Acrobat PDFs and added page links. When making these two PDFS, I followed the same procedures that I used on Dec. 26 and 27 when converting PPTs into PDFS with page links.

In the first problematic PDF that I made on Dec 28, two pages(slides) that I linked to opened up small. They opened at 71% instead of 75.8%. Another page(slide) opened too large at 87.2% instead of 75.8%. When I switched to full page view and linked to these three pages(slides) they once more opened up too small or too large.

When using the second problematic PDF that I made that day, I clicked through all of the slides on full screen view without linking to any of them and they all opened correctly. Then I started clicking through them all over again, but this time I clicked on the first page link. It opened up correctly and I linked to three other pages (slides) and they opened to the correct size. However; once I moved on to next page (slide) without a link it opened up too large and so did every other page(slide) after that. I closed the PDF and then reopened it and clicked through the pages(slides) again without linking to any of them. Once more all the pages opened up at the correct size.

I checked the known issues section on the Adobe website and there is no mention of my current problem.

Hi Edwinp,

As you have mentioned that you converted the two PPT files on which you experience the issue, would it be possible to share those PPT files and the PDFs with us?

We would like to check them on our end.

You may share the file either on the forum reply here or in a private message. How Do I Send Private Message

To share files with us, take help of the steps mentioned here How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud

Please also provide the details asked below:

- Application version Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

- OS on the machine

- The exact workflow you follow to create PDF from the PPT files.

We will be waiting for your response.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Hi,

How did you make the Links?

If you are talking about a link in Acrobat that goes to a page or to another document, it includes both the page and the zoom. You can edit the link to change the zoom:

• Select the Link tool (Edit PDF tool) or “C” if you have enable single key accelerators in Preferences
  
• Edit the Link: double-click or right-click > Properties
• Click the second tab "Actions:" and edit the action for the link
• Change the Zoom to Fit Page (or whatever you prefer)

Remember that 75.8% may look great on your screen, but test in on someone else’s.

What’s going on now is some of the links are using an “inherited zoom” and some have been given an exact size. You’ll see this when you edit the link.

Please ask again and/or show a screen shot if this does not make sense.
