Snipped a whole lot of stuff that is true about **using Acrobat.**
But user settings aren't saved.  Whenever you open a PDF, you get the 
default magnification under which it was created.

I have experience only with creating PDFs from Frame and from Word's PDF 
Writer.  In both cases, you select the default magnification before you 
launch the writer and that's what you get every time you open the PDF.

As for 168% magnification - it's one I would never choose - so the argument 
that it has something to do with Registry settings or the like 
doesn't  work.  There are no Registry settings on Linux, either.
