Hello All,

I'm new here so please cut me a bit of slack - I may not be in the right
forum, but here goes.

I have a VB6 program from which I can open a large Acrobat PDF file in which
there are various sections. If I use the this code I open up the file at
page 1 and everything is ok.

ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "d:\PFC\catalogue\pdf catalogue\hp.1.pdf",
vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus

If I use this code the file opens at the correct page BUT Acrobat opens in
normal mode NOT maximized AND at 122% zoom.

Shell Chr$(34) & "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat.exe" & Chr$(34) & _
" /A " & Chr$(34) & "page=43=OpenActions" & Chr$(34) & _
Chr$(34) & "view=fitpage=OpenActions" & Chr$(34) & _
Chr$(34) & "c:\program files\PFC\pf10.1.pdf" & Chr$(34)

Can anyone tell me how I can overcome these minor problems.

Thank You
Tarablue

This forum is for Word VBA rather than VB6 which has its own forum(s), and
matters pertaining to Acrobat would be better addressed to the Acrobat
forums.
However a simple solution is to create a shortcut to acrobat.exe in the same
folder with its property set to full screen and use your routine to call the
shortcut instead.
Acrobat 8 here opens in the last used view. If that was maximised then it
opens maximised next time.
