    The issue seems to be the difference between Acrobat "Preferences" (Acrobat Pro menu) – i.e how you view a PDF on your own computer – and document "Properties" (File menu) – the preferences, such as view magnification, that are attached to a PDF intended for viewing by other people. In the latter, it's possible to set the magnification for the INITIAL view. A problem I had was that having set the initial page view to 100% all subsequent pages opened at a different magnification. I resolved this in the first instance by creating custom navigation buttons to which I defined an action to set the zoom to "Actual Size". I discovered later that I could do much the same thing (without custom buttons) by defining page properties in the Page Thumbnails sidebar and applying the zoom action to all pages (Shift-click on all pages to do it in a single hit).
