I am trying to start an instance of Reader without the toolbar and the menubar.

the command line statement goes like this:

AcroRd32.exe /A "toolbar=0=OpenActions" "menubar=0=OpenActions" "C:\tester.pdf"

This doesn't seem to work and only works if I take out the menubar parameter. How do I start Acrobat Reader without toolbar and menubar?

Thanks,
Igor

Why do you want to do this?

You can create the way a particular PDF opens to hide these items by editing the PDF's 'Properties', "File => Properties", select the "Initial View" tab and then complete the selection options.

Well I have a C# forms app that generates Word documents and then the user has an option to only view the documents as a PDFs, so I convert it and open Acrobat Reader by running a command in the background. Since the PDFs are generated I can't really preset the properties. I am now looking at the SDK but there's got to be a simpler way of doing this...
