Hello,
I have a form that I use to preview a PDF document before it can be printed.
I am using the OLE Shell Explorer 2 control to display the PDF and it
displays in the Adobe reader.
It works great, but if the form is full screen the Adobe reader displays the
PDF at 150%
Does anyone know of a way to talk to the Adobe control to force the document
to always display at 100% ?
Thanks,
Kent

Hi Kent,
Whenever I click on PDFs in my emails here at the day gig, they always
open at 147%. Go figure. Wish I knew how to change that too (but never
make the time to solve the mystery). I'll watch this thread with
personal interest too!

I found a very interesting article at
http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/view-pdf-vfp-form
But I can't get it to work. The AdjustPDFView method always goes to the
catch section form me.
So close ... Yet so far away ...

I gave this just a passing look, but might be helpful to see:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/488335
and I found this:
Many of these parameters can be passed to the following core API functions (see the Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference for details):
AVDocOpenFromFileWithParamString
AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParamString
AVDocOpenFromPDDocWithParamString
●When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch using the following syntax:
<path to Acrobat> /A "<open parameter>=OpenActions" "<path to PDF file>"
For example:
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000=OpenActions" "C:¥example.pdf"

I had similar behavior and you made me curious enough to look. Try Edit->Preferences->Page Display->Zoom. Now how you manipulate that for an individual document via automation, I don't know because I haven't worked with the Reader object at all. But the Object Browser in VFP might help solve that mystery.

Hello Matthew,
Thanks for the links. I got it working with the
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/488335 article.
Here is the code I used:
lcFile = 'test.pdf'
Thisform.WebBrowser.Navigate(lcFile + '#zoom=100')
Thanks for your help,
Kent
