How to open a pdf in fullscreen view via command line on Windows?

Question

I have been able to open a pdf document through command line by using: start test.pdf

But I would like to open it in full screen mode via command line, does

Answer 1

I've tested the following with Adobe Reader 10:

start "" /max "C:\Program Files Xxxxx.exe" /A "pagemode=FullScreen" ".pdf" 

Answer 2

Go to the adobe folder, select acrord32.exe and provide it with path of filename you want to open. The adobe PDF viewer starts in a new window.

Answer 3

Before using command line just open AcroRd32.exe/Acrobat.exe and go to Edit => Preferences => Full Screen and uncheck on Current document only. Then you can use the command line as

start "" /max "C:\Program Files Xxxxx.exe" /A "pagemode=FullScreen" "yourfile direction and name.pdf"

Answer 4

You didn't mention which OS you are using. For Linux:

evince -f "filename"

OR

xdg-open "filename"

Answer 5

Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

Please note you need to be in your acrobat directory to open the file.

Answer 6

This should do it.

start "" /max "c:\nameofpdf.pdf"

This has the advantage that it should work if the user is using other pdf document readers that are not adobe reader. It should just use the default pdf reader on the machine.
