Exporting to PDF question

Apr 4, 2012 5:26 PM

I am exporting my document to a pdf and I have not problem doing that.

But when I open the PDF it opens at 293%. How can I export it so that when it opens the PDF that it opens at 100%

    If you're exporting out of InDesign CS5.5 and you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive) you can specify the View (magnification) setting. It will open in Acrobat or Reader at that magnification.

     

    If you're exporting to File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print), or if you have an earlier version of InDesign, you have to do it AFTER you create the PDF in Acrobat. In Acrobat, choose File > Properties > Initial View > Magnification. After you click OK, and quit out of Acrobat, it will open at your desired magnification in Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

    I am still using CS3. I do not see that option you are referring to. Is that something that is not in CS3?

    Did you somehow overlook Steve's references to different versions of InDesign?

    Yes, I did overlook that part about different versions. Sorry about that.

     

    I tried what was recommended but I do not see the option in Acrobat for File > Properties > Initial View > Magnification.. Do I need Acrobat Pro to do this?

    Thank you all for replying and helping me out. I had a friend that had adobe acrobat and I brought the pdf file there and had him resize it.

     

    Thank you
