I think you will find all the available command line switches in the Acrobat SDK:
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/pdf/acrobatsdks.jsp

Once you do, you can modify Gary Smith's old script:

Please report back if you find something useful.

If you choose to use WebXtra for pdf display, the following will be useful, from an 
earlier post of mine:

Check out this document for examples (page 4):
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/c01acrotip.pdf

To open this doc on page 4 directly you would use:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/c01acrotip.pdf#page=4


More fun can be had with this:

These are examples of valid action commands for PDF documents linked from HTML:
<a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#page=3>
<a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#namedest=Digital-Imaging>
<a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#zoom=200,250,100

You can put multiple action commands in a single URL command line if you separate the 
commands with an
ampersand (&). Each command can be up to 32 characters in length. Be careful not to 
introduce any spaces in the
line. For example,
<a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#page=72&view=FitH,100>
<a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&page=3>
