The PDF specification doesn’t have a simple document setting that specifies the initial page number and zoom magnification.
However it is possible to add an “open action” to the document that specifies the action to perform when the document is opened.
Foxit Quick PDF Library’s SetOpenActionDestination function allows you to set the initial page and the zoom level:
// Create a two page document with the // page number shown on each page QP.NewDocument(); QP.DrawText(100, 500, "Page 1"); QP.NewPage(); QP.DrawText(100, 500, "Page 2"); // Set the page layout to "Single page". This step isn't needed but // shows the zoom effect nicely QP.SetPageLayout(0); // Set the open action to show page 2 at 25% zoom QP.SetOpenActionDestination(2, 25); // Save the file QP.SaveToFile("C:\Page2-Zoom25.pdf"); |
There are two other functions that allow greater control of the open action.
The SetOpenActionDestinationFull function allows you to set the initial page and specify advanced sizing/positioning options.
A JavaScript open action can be added using the SetOpenActionJavaScript function. For this to work the user must have JavaScript enabled in their PDF viewer.
