Hi everyone, I very much appreciate Maruan's reply (thanks Maruan), but our customer is suggesting there should be some other way to do this.
The reasoning is as follows: Using Acrobat, it is possible to go to File->Properties and then to the Initial View tab; set the Navigation tab value to Bookmarks Panel and Page, and save the file. After which this PDF file opens with the navigation pane open, and the bookmarks displayed. It is possible to view a small PDF file before and after this procedure was performed, at: http://aapro.net/bookmarktest/ The end users will be opening PDF files in Internet Explorer, but the experience is basically the same when I open them in Reader. I would be very interested in any insight anyone can provide. While I was able to add bookmarks to a PDF file (with help from this forum), I don't have any tools or expertise for examining the insides of a PDF file, to find out what is different between these two files.

Hi, it's not part of the Viewer Preferences so can not be set in the PDF directly. You could inject a JavaScript which is executed when the document opens. As short sample for such JavaScript is available in the examples package for PDFBox 2.0.0 under org.apache.pdfbox.examples.interactive.form.UpdateFieldOnDocumentOpen. The issue with executing menu items is that this is a restricted function so it might be available if the PDF is not certified. Lookup the function execMenuItem in the Acrobat SDK JavaScript Reference.
