Make Reader X to always open maximized

Nov 24, 2010 11:06 AM

Is there any possibility to make Reader X to keep main window always maximized when opening a file by double click in XP SP3 Explorer?

 

I am not talking about full screen, I want only to have the main program window maximized.

 

Thank you

    The last state of a application window is saved by the OS automatically.

     

    So, when you reopen Reader it will have the same windows size as the last time it was closed.

    I have the same problem. Every first time when I open a pdf file, then Adobe reader does not open maximized. The next time I open the same document, Abode Reader opens it maximized or not maximized (depending on the state I closed this particular document)

     

    So, the problem is that with every new pdf file, the first time I open it, Adobe Reader always opens the document NOT maximized.

     

    I've tried changing a whole lot of settings inside Adobe Reader, but none of these settings helped.

     

    PS: why does Adobe Reader needs to make a new version every week ? Can't they make the software in one time right ?

    A work-around might be to make a Program Item on your desktop.  Then right-mouse click it, select Properties, the Shortcut tab and set Run to "Maximized".

     

    A second version would be to create a Program Item that does "start /max acrobat.exe" or "start /max acrord32.exe" as appropriate, possibly with path information.

    Why do we have to find a "workaround"?  Why can't Adobe just make software that works the way its supposed to?
