With version 5 the PDF were created using the Acrobat Distiller. Now this is useless, because the Acrobat libraries have been added in the software.

In version 5 all my PDF were creating with a PressTalk to set page mode set at Fit Width.

if(eq(¤t.printpage,1))
passthrough('[/PageMode /UseNone /View [/FitH null] /DOCVIEW pdfmark')
endif()

Do you know how I can do the same with the version 7?

Julienst,

If I understand your question correctly, you wish to set the initial viewpoint of the PDF when you open to fit the width of the window. Am I right ?

If so, you can do so in Planet Press Watch 7 without the need for passthroughs. Inside the Planet Press Image plugin properties, you can access a PDF tab in which you may set many options. One of them is called "Initial view" in there you may set the zoom factor and a few other viewing options.

I hope this helps !

If I misunderstood your question, please clarify and we will look further.

Kind regards,

Matt

Hi,
I had already verify at PDF tab, but only the option 'Fit in windows' is available. Passthrough code was use to specify the page moe to 'Fit Width'. This option isn't available on the Watch PDF tab.

Hi, I ask this question 10 days ago and still no answer.

My objectif is only to create a PDF with the Page Mode (viewpoint) set to 'Fit Width'

The 'Fit Width' is a basic view option in Acrobat. Normally the majority of PDF we produce have this option.

Waiting some suggestion

julien,

I've experimented a bit more with the "Fit Width" zoom type of Acrobat, and it doesn't seem like this is a setting that are specific to every pdf files. Rather, it's a setting in the Acrobat program itself, and it sets it to the default view mode every time you open the application.

I did a test, and generated a pdf. I opened it, the mode was actually "Fit Width". I've changed it to "Actual Size", then did a save as. When I opened it again, it was back to Fit Width. Further experimentation with the various acrobat scripting commands revealed that the zoom type is a property of the view, not the document.

The passthrough command that you were using, if you look at it, used to set the Document's view when you open the document, but it's not a property of the pdf itself.

To change the default view mode, you can go to Edit->Preferences>Page Display, and set the default zoom to what you want. All pdf files you open will use that mode, so you can set it to Fit Width, and all pdf files will be opened "Fit Width". Note that this is under Acrobat 6.0, the newer versions might have a difference Preference menu.

That said, I cannot explain why the passthrough no longer works in version 7, other than this is probably due to the change in the pdf libraries, and the way pdf are created in general.

Hope that helps.
