set default view on a server

[gacapp]

Hello - I am hoping someone can help.

We have a server that has about 100 users that access it.  On the server I have the latest Adobe Reader DC.  I am trying to find a way to have the default view for anyone who accesses a pdf on that server, have the document open at 100%.  Currently, documents open at 175%.

So I went into Adobe Reader DC, went to Edit>Preferences and changed the Default Layout and Zoom and changed the Zoom to 100% and changed the Resolution to Use System Settings.  But it did not work for anyone accessing documents over that server.

So i didn't know if there was another setting I am missing or if there is a custom script that I could put on the server to make documents show at 100%.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

What sort of client/server relationship do you have?

We have a Citrix environment.  We actually have 10 Citrix servers that we use.  But if I can find a solution for just one server, then I can implement on the other ones.

Ok. Each user has their own preferences.

No they don't because the pdfs open within another program.  It it a piece of medical software that they are using.  They open attachments like ekg's, etc, which open, but DC doesn't open as a separate program.  That is the problem...if DC opened as a separate program, then I could make adjustments.  But since it doesn't, I didn't know if there was some sort of script or something that can be "plugged into" DC or on the server to make the pdfs' open 100%

Hi Gacapp,

Do you have windows 10 operating system on those servers?

If yes, have you had a chance to check this: Managing the Default PDF Handler on Win 10 for Enterprise Administrators | Adobe Installation and Li...  Also, check this discussion:Re: Installing Pro DC and DC Reader - Make Reader default Viewer for all users

Let us know how it works.

They still should be able to start Reader and set preferences.
