Re: Any PDF creators? help wanted

What application are you using to create the PDF? Or, do you have Acrobat Pro?

I use Acrobat Pro at work, so I don't have it in front of me now, but I think if you select File>Properties, one of the tabs contains the initial view settings of the current PDF where you can set the zoom, and the view mode etc.

Re: Any PDF creators? help wanted

thanks

have been messing today and found that.

I gave up on it after copying and pasting and it disappearing behind the content area!

i'll try again tomoz

the one I was copying! went from one page view to 2 page then back to 1 again
I suspect the view you choose from file/properties will be for the whole file.

thanks again

Re: Any PDF creators? help wanted

I've looked at Acrobat at work today. What you describe only works if the pages themselves are of different sizes (i.e. inside pages created as spreads in the first place).

Then you need to select:

File>Properties - "Initial View" tab

Magnification: Fit width (or fit visible)

Page layout: Single Page Continuous
