in the View/Zoon when opening it?

It happens anytime I open a downloaded PDF document obtained from an online

Some PDF files are set up to deliberately ignore your settings. You can’t fix that.

Hello Boba,

By editing the "Preferences" in Reader, you can set the "Default View" to any of several options including a set zoom factor. This setting will be used when a PDF is opened and there has been no default setting established by the author or creator of the PDF.

You can navigate to Adobe Reader's Preferences Edit>Preferences(Windows)/Adobe Reader>Preferences(Mac)>>Page Display

You can also refer to Adobe article for detailed information Viewing PDFs and viewing preferences, Adobe Acrobat

Adjusting PDF views

Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

Thank you, but unfortunately this was not at all helpful - I followed the

suggested procedures and when opening  a PDF document, the page view is

still very small, and every time I have to zoom the view just to be able to

view the document......

Hello Bob,

Is it specific to one PDF file or with all the PDF files? Is it possible to post a screenshot of the error/issue? To share the screenshot, refer to https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7043#jive_content_id_How_do_I_attach_a_screenshot

If it is specific to one PDF file, is it possible to share the PDF file with us? To share the file, please use Adobe Send feature, upload the file, share the link to files via private message only, How Do I Send Private Message

Thanks,

Anand Sri
