When you open a PDF document, it will usually open with the zoom setting that you have chosen in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro. However, when you click on a bookmark, the zoom setting can change to the specific zoom setting embedded in the properties of the individual bookmark. This can be annoying if you want to keep the same zoom setting for the entire document. To fix this problem, you need to change the zoom setting for each bookmark to "Inherit Zoom" in Adobe Acrobat. This will make sure that the zoom setting stays the same no matter which bookmark you click.
