User Guide
Preferences for viewing PDFs
The Preferences dialog box defines a default page layout and customizes your application in many other ways. To
modify preferences, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select the panel
you want under Categories. For viewing PDFs, examine the preferences options for Documents, General, Multi­
media, and Page Display.
The preferences settings control how the application behaves whenever you use it; they are not associated with any
particular PDF document.
Note: If you install any third-party plug-ins, set these preferences using the Third-Party Preferences menu item.
