Hi
 
I have a pdf document, generate by "Web Intelligence's Business Objects", and too have "Adobe Reader 8".
 
I need set my pdf document to open first time the zoom of page is 120% and the bookmarks panel is closed or hidden,
 
Anybody know if this action is possible, and how I can do it.?
 
Thanks in advanced.

You can set the 'Initial View' through the PDF's 'Properties' ("File => Properties => Initial View').

Yes it's possible. You can take two general approaches:

1. Somehow configure the PDF generator to set the values you want. I don't know if this is possible with the PDF generator you're using.

2. Use software, such as Acrobat, after the documents are generated to set the values.

Acrobat can do it using a batch sequence that uses the "Open Options" command if you need to do it to a lot of files at a time. Otherwise you can use the user interface to set up an individual file. But you will need to buy Acrobat since Reader is not able to modify documents in this way.

Thanks gkaiseril

I looked for the Option: "Initial View", from File -> Properties, but I dont found it,I only have the following options: Description (Description and Advanced), Security (Document Security and Document Restrictions Summary), Fonts (Fonts used in this Document) and Advanced (Pdf Settings, Print Dialog Presets, Reading Options)I think that it option not is available on Adobe Reader, you know ¿which version or product of Acrobat have the Option: "Initial View".?

The product is Acrobat Reader.

You might try the free Quick PDF Tools. I do not know if it requires a copy of Acrobat installed.

It is Adobe Reader, not Acrobat Reader. Acrobat used to be in the product name, but I think it changed even back as far as version 8.
