(thinking…)

What happened to document re-size option in toolbar? Can no longer change % size of doc within window.

My biggest complaint about the latest update to Adobe is the percentage option for re-sizing documents within an open window has now been removed. I review and edit PDFs from countless customers all day long. Now the only way to change the size of the document within the window is to expand or decrease the size of the window itself, which can still be extremely limiting. Having the ability to change the size of any given document for review and edit is essential to my job. Why was the document percentage option removed from the toolbar and how can I get it back?

    Hi, Ravi--

    Thanks for your reply. I followed the steps you outlined and "Open documents as new tabs in the same window" was already checked.

    I took a screen shot of my Adobe toolbar to show you but now I see there is no way to attach anything here. What I realized since submitting my question is that the percentage icon has been replaced by a magnifying glass with a plus sign in it. When I click on the magnifier icon, a percentage scale appears just below and I can easily select whatever percentage I want. That capability is essential to my job and I'm glad I finally figured it out.

    I think I'm good to go. I still don't like the new version but at least I can do my job, which is the most important thing. Thank you for the support you offered, I do appreciate the contact.

    Hi Angela,

    Thanks for sharing your concern.
    To get back to the same zoom icons in the toolbar you need to move to MDI mode of Acrobat.
    Here are the steps to enable Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’s tabbed interface
    1. Open Adobe Reader
    2. Click on the Edit menu, selects Preferences (Ctrl+K) > General,
    3. Check Open documents as new tabs in the same window, scroll down and click ‘OK’
    4. Restart the Reader for the changes to take effect.

    Thanks,
    -Ravi Gupta

    Follow up to my original post: I have now figured out how to enlarge the document size within the window but it takes more clicks/menu choices. I still want to know if it is possible to get the document percentage option back in the toolbar.
