Recently a client asked me if it was possible to have a pdf on their website open up at 100% automatically. I said I didn’t think it was possible but I’d have a look and see what I could find. Turns out it is possible and there’s a bunch of other commands that you can pass to Adobe Reader too.

Commands
When linking simply add a # after the pdf url and enter the command e.g. <a href=”mypdf.pdf#zoom=100”>
- page=1 (brings you to page number)
- zoom=100 (opens pdf at 100%)
