Bookmarks and zoom level in PDF

I think I should know how to fix this but apparently not. I'm using
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended v 9.4.1. Problem: Bookmarks that I've manually
created in a PDF have a different zoom than the bookmarks set for the
PDF in Framemaker. For example, I may be viewing a page that displays
at 100% and then click a bookmark and the resulting page displays as
Fit Height. Setting the View->Zoom level for the document doesn't
stick when you click a bookmark to a different page.
Apparently Acrobat remembers whatever zoom was in effect when the
bookmark was created instead of the default zoom level set for the
document. What a pain. So now I have a 242-page PDF containing
several hundred bookmarks that were created via Framemaker and by
manually adding them to the PDF (at various zoom levels because how
was I to know?) and the zoom hops about from one setting to another.
Seriously irritating. I've tried selecting all of the bookmarks at
one time and resetting the zoom level in Properties, but doing that
also sets every bookmark to target one single page of your choice,
thus defeating the purpose of bookmarks.
Is there some setting that I'm missing when creating bookmarks that
will apply the same default zoom to each page (so that I don't have
to remember to be in the desired zoom when I create the bookmark)?
And is there a way to change the zoom in my 242-page PDF so that all
pages have the same zoom?
