Have you ever won­dered how to make your PDF files open in a par­tic­u­lar page dis­play lay­out? Sent a PDF of a book­let or mag­a­zine to some­one and won­dered how to make the title appear on its own page?

The “Ini­tial View” set­ting in Adobe Acro­bat is the answer. Sim­ply open Doc­u­ment Prop­er­ties (Ctrl+D on Win­dows, or ⌘+D in OS X) and click onto the “Ini­tial View” tab. Here, you can set the ini­tial page dis­play for­mat, open­ing page, zoom lev­els, and even what the title of the win­dow is.

When you’re done, just close the Doc­u­ment Prop­er­ties win­dow and save your file. Easy!
