We are having some trouble implementing the web browser module with pdf files.

The following article from Adobe outlines parameters which can be passed to a URL:

[http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf\_open\_parameters.pdf](http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf)

We have been able to successfully use the ‘nameddest’ parameter to navigate to a bookmark with in a pdf file.

The other two things we need we’ve been unsuccessful with:

1. Using either the zoom or view parameters to set the browser to display the entire page.
2. Removing the scroll bars with the ‘scrollbar’ parameter.

The web browser zoom level seems to work but not repeatably depending on the actual screen resolution the client application will be running on.

I believe this thread discusses a similar issue to disabling the scroll bars where the user was looking to just disable the browser: [https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=13676&p=49809&hilit=web+browser#p49809](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=13676&p=49809&hilit=web+browser#p49809)

I realize the functionality of the web browser module is ‘as is’ but if anyone could point us in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated.

Were you able to modify the PDF the way you wanted outside of the module to verify it works the way you expected?
