Adobe Javascript

Question

I need some help in writing a Javascript macro.
We create many PDF documents from Word by applying the Save as PDF option. We then open each PDF document and edit its file properties.
In the Description tab, we update the Title and Author and in the Initial View tab, we set the parameters as following:
Navigation Tab = Bookmarks Panel and Page
Page Layout = Single Page
Magnification = Fit Page
Show = Document Title.
I have managed to automate the setup of the Title and Author by placing the following Javascript file in the Acropbat Javascript folder:
var SetMetaData = app.trustedFunction(function()
                 app.beginPriv();
                 this.info.author = "Company Name";
                 this.info.Title = this.info.Title + " " + this.info.Subject;
                 this.info.Layout = "SinglePage";
                 this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;
                 app.endPriv();
app.addToolButton({
   cName: "applyMetaData",
   cLabel: "MetaData",
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "SetMetaData();"});
The Javascript code above creates a button called Metadata. Clicking this button successfully updates Author and Title.
However, I have no idea how to set the four Initial View parameters (see above). The Layout and Zoomtype commands change the appearance of the document but not the values in the Initial View window. Therefore, next time the PDF document is opened, it forgets the Single Page and Fit Page setup and gets back to what it was before.
I will be grateful to get any idea of how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

You can use the undocumented 'pane' property of the 'doc' object.
this.pane = 'none'; // no panes
this.pane = 'n'; // no panes
this.pane = "bookmarks"; // bookmark
this.pane = "b"; // bookmark
this.pane = 'fullscreen'; // full screen
this.pane = 'f'; // full screen
this.pane = "layers"; // layers
this.pane = "l"; // layers
this.pane = "thumbnails"; // thumbnails
this.pane = "t"; // thumbnails
