How to set initial view from Acrobat8 PDFMaker Settings

I used to have Acrobat V4, and could set the initial view for a PDF conversion from Word so that the PDF would open with the Bookmark navigation panel open.

To my dismay, I cannot find such an option on the settings pages for PDFMaker V8.

Is there any way I can set this property before conversion? I am prepared to edit the .joboptions files with notepad, if there are any extra settings I can add to the settings available. I would rather not have to open each converted file in Acrobat and set the initial view from there.

In this case, why not using the Acrobat's batch function ?
