    Default Save settings in Adobe pro

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi Guys
    I have been using Adobe pro for a while mainly for my Autocad Dwgs.
    When I convert an Autocad dwg to PDF and I am working on it
    in Adobe. Is there a way of keeping those settings when I close Adobe?
    For instance I always rotate my drawings to the orientation I want IE horizontal, when I close the program and then re open it, the drawings have reverted back to portrait. I have played around with it
    for ages and changed lots of settings, but can't find anything for this one.
    Thanks for any help

    You need to rotate the page(s) by going to Document -> Rotate Pages (Shift + Ctrl + R).

    After doing that, save the .pdf document and then it will retain its orientation the next time you open it up.

    I have been doing this all along, I rotate to horizontal orientation and then save. When I re open the document, it's reverted back to portrait, it drives me crazy. There must be a way of keeping my settings.

    Ok Raff
    Just found out what it is.
    I have been rotating the page with the tool bar instead of going to document etc etc. For some reason it won't save your settings if you rotate this way, but it does if you do it the way you suggest.
    Thanks Raff
