How to Fix System Preferences on Mac OS X| The Easy Way. Deleting preference files (well, refreshing them) on your Mac is incredibly easy with a Mac utility like CleanMyMac X.It scans your Mac for preference files that are broken and removes them with just a click of a button.
A few days ago, someone posted a hint on how to change the font in text annotation boxes in Adobe Acrobat. As a heavy user of annotations in Preview, I have always been annoyed at the huge, impractical and unchangeable font used for annotations in that program. Each preference pane contains options you can set. Most panes include a Help button to click for more information about the options. Some panes are locked to protect your Mac, indicated by a closed lock icon at the bottom of the pane, and the options are dimmed. Question: Q: Set default text box settings in Preview Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to set new default text box settings in Preview Version 9.0 (909.6). I find it quite tedious to have to modify each text box I create in addition to having to place it, especially while taking notes during a lecture.

In Acrobat Pro, I try to set preferences (open in 'page-width' view and use 'one-page continuous) but it only makes changes for the document I have open, not as default for every time I open.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that to change the default for the 'Single Page Continuous' (or one-page continuous)
- In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Page Display.
- Open the Page Layout menu and choose Single Page Continuous
What are you trying to do, create PDFs? Edit PDFs...?
Note: The PDF opens with the page layout specified in Preferences unless a different page layout is specified in Document Properties (File > Properties > Initial View). The Document Properties setting overrides the Preferences setting. If using Document Properties, be sure to save and close the document for the change to take effect. Acrobat users can change the initial view, unless security settings prevent changes. Reader users cannot change the initial view.

The 'Default Page Layout' option never worked for me, but I've found another option in the Preferences that seems to work:
Open Preferences. In the Accessibility category, under 'Override Page Display' check the Always use Page Layout Style and select the preferred option. This works as a default setting for opened pdf documents.

This answer is for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC only.
Head to File >Document Properties (Ctrl-D)
Click on the Initial view tab, there, the first few fields are for setting the default view for that document. These preferences may be ignored depending on the application used to view the document, but should work in Adobe products (Acrobat and Reader).
Mac Preference Pane
Once set, accept the changes and save the document.

with PDF open, go to 'Edit' on top left, then to 'Preference', in 'Preference' go to 'Page Display', under 'Default', go to 'Layout and Zoom', go to 'Zoom' and select size you want on page. Worked for me in windows 10.

You might also need to uncheck 'Restore last view settings when reopening documents' in Edit > Preferences > Documents > Open Settings.
Mac Preview Text Box
Otherwise every time you open a document, it will appear with the last view settings you used for it. Which might not be the settings you want!

If you set it in the document properties that is for that document. However, the general properties for your use is under Edit>Preferences>Page Display
