We have a downloadable PDF file which looks great at 72% magnification in Adobe Reader and not so good at 101%. When downloaded and opened in the reader, its default magnification is 101%.
Is there a way to define the default magnification in the PDF file itself so that we ensure the best user experience?
Thank you!

Solution. Open Acrobat Reader, navigate to Edit menu -> Preferences -> Page Display -> set your required Zoom percentage. Click OK to confirm the change.
Open Adobe Reader. Select “Edit” > “Preferences“. Select “Page Display” on the left pane. Under the “Default Layout and Zoom” area, change the “Zoom” dropdown menu to a desired setting.
If you can control the URL used to download, you can put parameters in the URL to control how the built-in reader will display the file.
For example, http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50 will set the magnification to 50%.

The above applies to the built-in reader supplied by Adobe. Other readers may not honor the parameters. In particular, see the answer to this question regarding Chrome.
