Question about initial view

Hi,
Is it possible to customize the view that is used when a PDF document is opened (that is, the layout and magnification settings that are available in the "Initial View" tab of the "Document Properties" dialog box in Adobe Acrobat)?
Kind regards

Re: Problem with bold text

Thank you very much for your help!
The new font definition (and the installation of a more recent Oxygen patch) fixed the problem.

Re: Problem with bold text

Hi Julien, I am using Oxygen 24.1. As a font, I was first trying to use Euclid Circular A because this matches our corporate branding, and I used the Oxygen Styles Basket to upload the font files and to create the configuration. I then tried to use Google Manrope, with the same result. Kind regards ...

Re: Adjusting the text in the header section of WebHelp Responsive output

Hi Costin,
it appears that I wasn't precise enough. I don't want to change the topic title, but the publication title that is displayed above the menu.(see screenshot).

Sorting tables (and probably also lists) with referenced content

I have a bunch of tables that should be sorted. Some table rows are included via conrefs. These rows are not considered properly -- their content starts with A, but the remain at the bottom of the list. Is there a way to fix this?
