Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Question

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c <<  /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]
>>]
  /HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
  /Params [/c <<>>]
  /Title [/t ()]

  /HandlerName [/a /ReduceFileSize]
  /Params [/c <<   /RFSCompatibility [/i 6]

  /Params [/c <<   /RmAnnots [/b false]
   /RmAttachments [/b false]

   /RmDeletedContent [/b true]
   /RmFormFields [/b true]
   /RmHiddenLayers [/b true]
   /RmHiddenText [/b false]
   /RmLinksActionsJS [/b false]
   /RmMetadata [/b false]
   /RmOverlappingObjects [/b false]
   /RmSearchIndex [/b false]

  /Title [/t (Remove Hidden Information)]

/DontOverwrite [/b false]
/EmbedIndex [/b false]
/FileVariation [/i 2]
/HandleOutput [/b true]
/NumbericNaming [/b false]
/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]

As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]
