Open parameters do not work

[Yves_Surrel@adobeforums.com]

The open parameters specified in URL (e.g. <http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/sdk/public/docs/PDFOpenParams.pdf#page=6)> do not work (neither in Safari nor in FireFox).

They do not seem to work from the command line either:

/Applications/Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8/Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Reader /A "zoom=50=OpenActions" "MyDoc.pdf"

or

/Applications/Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8/Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Reader -A "zoom=50=OpenActions" "MyDoc.pdf"

Where is the problem?

The command line referred to is for Windows only. Don't know about the
web case: I feel it should work if, and only if, the PDF is being
displayed in the browser window, by Acrobat (not Preview).

If you want to do something similar to the command line for Windows on the Mac use the AppleScript dictionary and write a script.

tell application "Adobe Acrobat Professional"
open file "Macintosh HD:myPDF.pdf"
zoom first PDF Window to 150
end tell
