Pro is not handling big files

[Ungrumpy1]

First I want to ask a question. I want to set Bookmarks Panel and Page as default. I use big files and it's a pain to set that preference litterally thousands of times. I've looked online and everyone had an answer except the right answer.

Anybody know what to do?

Look under Open Options tab in Document Properties. If this doesn't seem to be the right answer, please show screen shots showing it isn't there.

Sorry, I misread your question. You can't set this as a default in general. It MIGHT be an option in the PDF creation method you used, but probably isn't.

Quite alright. Thanks for your response and no, you are right, there's no way to do it. I started using Acrobat when it first came out, maybe like 1998 or so and even though I'm old and stupid, I'm surprised Adobe hasn't fixed it. Seems fixable, I base my whole business on that menu (bookmarks) and what a pain it is. A rolling menu bar that goes where you go, what could be better, as long as you take the time to pass the file through Word first after saving as HTML, the bookmarks will follow you upon conversion to Acrobat Pro. Very handy!
