Open PDF File in Maximized Window

I'm trying to link to some PDF files from an HTML page that will be
used for a presentation. The user wants to have the windows open up in
Adobe Reader 7.0 at maximum size (not full screen).

I'd rather a more reliable system than simply resixing the window
before hand because I won't always be able to do that before the
presentations.

I can make changes to the Adobe Reader configuration or registry (if
needed) to make the program always open in full screen. but I would
prefer it if I can control the behavior from the HTML link itself.

Is that possible ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

possibly something like this might help:

wd=screen.width
ht=screen.heigth
window.open("mypdf.pdf","presentation","width="+wd +", heigth="+ht+"")
