Title: PDFs "Zooming" when Output Preview is Open
Post by: Slappy on October 19, 2023, 09:31:07 AM
New "feature" plaguing me - whenever I open the Output Preview my PDF will zoom in like 800% regardless of whether I've turned a color on/off. Doesn't seem to matter if I have a Pitstop tool selected or not, and it's happening with every PDF also.

Acrobat 2023.001.20177
Processor is the M1, on Ventura 13.4.1

I mean, no? I'm always afraid of updates too soon and I know there's a bug already in the latest version that was posted recently. (https://www.b4print.com/index.php?topic=10357.0) Looks like Enfocus has a hotfix for THAT though, soooo - let's give it a whirl!!

We had a problem with the last Acrobat update.
Single page views are clipping off the top of the PDF and we could no longer see PDF page size in the lower left corner.
I have seen others with the same problem on the Adobe community.
We had to use Time Machine backups to revert back to 2023.003.20244.
2 are 2018 Mac Mini's running 13.6
1 is a Mac Studio M1 running 13.6
Problems with and without Pitstop.

Also look out as Adobe has decided to reinvent Acrobat yet again and is rolling it with out without letting you know...

https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-do-i-go-back-to-the-old-acrobat/td-p/14032104#:~:text=1%20Correct%20answer&text=To%20revert%20to%20the%20old,2%2F3%20down%20the%20menu.

They have added a simple way to revert if you install the newest as mentioned in the thread above.
I would assume though that over time that option will go away, much like Outlook for Mac did.

Oh ffs - the "scroll pages" on the right is missing now!

Ohhhhh, wait - once Adobe posts the explanation it all makes sense!!!

QuoteFollowing the latest macOS guidelines, we have completely overhauled the Acrobat scrolling framework for Mac as part of our September '23 release. This fundamental transition from NSView to NSScrollView significantly impacts the behaviour of the Mac user interface. It introduces a modern scrolling experience that is responsive during active use and eliminates the need for excessive space.
So glad they've read all of our collective minds & addressed all that "excessive space" usage!!

I had seen that as another problem some people were having.
I believe in one of the adobe community links above someone mentioned it, not sure what the fix was.
For us it was back to version 2023.003.20244 vie Time Machine backups.
Love those Time Machine backups....oh and make sure you shut off the automatic updates in Acrobat preferences (all the way at the bottom).

You know you wanted that 1/8" of space back!

It's Adobe. Meaning that they know what we want and need, and if we don't agree with them, we need adjusting.

Kinda like WalMart. If they don't have it, you don't need it.
