differing default open params?

Hi list...
 
I've run into a very odd issue. I am building an AIR app that loads in some pdfs. Some pdfs were generated in Quark or InDesign, and others are Word files that were batch converted in Acrobat 9.
 
In my AIR app, all pdfs are displayed with open params of #page=1&view=FitH,0&navpanes=0&statusbar=0." They all open fine, but depending on the origin of the document (Quark/InDesign vs. batch converted from Word), the pdfs open to different vertical scroll positions. The Quark/Indesign ones open at the top, and the Word ones open at the bottom (max scroll position).
 
When I pass open params of "#navpanes=0&statusbar=0" to the Word originating pdfs, these open at the top vertical scroll position, as intended.
 
I am thinking the only difference is in somehow how the pdf was created. AIR is opening both sets of pdfs fine, but with different vertical scroll positions. What might be causing this?
 
thanks,
- Michael M.

SOLVED: I just discovered that the folks making the InDesign pdfs are setting open params to fit page. That seems to be the difference, as the Word batched pdfs aren't given that option.
