Correct, pdf file can contain default zoom level. I suggest you look for the documentation for hyperref pdfstartview command (you can enter it into Additional Options of PDF properties in document settings). Just empty 'pdfstartview=' should let the viewer decide on its own defaults. Of course I do not know how that works with Adobe. In linux world there are nice pdf viewers which, while having your pdf opened, will detect that file behind was rewritten and open it again on the same page and zoom level. I believe you'd find similar in MS world, Adobe never allowed refresh and it must be pain to use it for tuning the document.
