Have you tried setting the document to open in full screen view when it opens? That worked for us.

Hello List,
We have a web application that allows users to order items like stationary.
A user will select the template they want to use, and then they are presented with a page with 2 frames. One frame contains the data fields for the information they want to display, the other frame contains a pdf for a soft proof. The space where the PDF opens is static. When the information in the data fields are updated, the page reloads and the proof is updated.
We have the pdf set to not display toolbars or file menu. This works fine if someone has Reader (6) or the full version of Acrobat 6.
One problem we are seeing has to do with users running Windows (it appears to be on at least NT & XP). If the user has the full version of Acrobat 5, the pdf opens, but the plugin displays the toolbars. The toolbars take up about 60% of the frame and the pdf is too small to read.
If the user manually hides the toolbars, the pdf will display the correct size, but if they then update the text in the data fields, on the reload of the page, the toolbars are redisplayed.
I have tried loading Reader 6 on a machine with the full version of Acrobat 5. I tried to change my file associations to set reader 6 as my default for opening pdf files. The plugin for 5 is what is loaded each time.
Some of the users may not want to uninstall their full version of Acrobat 5 and may not want to upgrade to Acrobat 6, so I need a solution that does not involve either of these solutions.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to: 1) Load Reader over the full version of Acrobat 5 so that Reader will be used for the browser plugin 2) Cause the toolbars to not be displayed in the plugin for Acrobat 5
Thanks, Jeff
