Work around a PDF page-opening and zoom level issue

Sometimes, some PDF files do not start on page one, nor do they show up with the desired magnification. Moving to page one, setting the zoom, and resaving them does not fix the issues. When the new file is opened, the very same issues arise. Here's a fix, if you've got Acrobat Pro on your Mac:
- Open the PDF file and choose Document » Extract Pages to extract all pages individually.
- Select File » Create PDF » Merge Files into a Single PDF.
- Drag and drop the individual files, and then use File Size LARGER » Combine Files » Save.
That's it!
