Recently a client asked me if it was possible to have a pdf on their website open up at 100% automatically. I said I didn’t think it was possible but I’d have a look and see what I could find. Turns out it is possible and there’s a bunch of other commands that you can pass to Adobe Reader too.
Check out this useful article entitled Linking to PDF documents from HTML
Commands
When linking simply add a # after the pdf url and enter the command e.g. <a href=”mypdf.pdf#zoom=100″>
- page=1 (brings you to page number)
- zoom=100 (opens pdf at 100%)

I have used #zoom=100 for “Powerscape Technical Sheet” on http://www.test.bparchitects.com.au/publications.html and it makes no difference. Perhaps BRIEFLY the PDF opens at 100% zoom, but it quickly reverts to full screen, which on my computer renders at 146% zoom. Any idea how I can fix that?
Thankyou!
