Zoom to fit PDF Embedded in HTML

Question

I am embedding a local pdf file into a simple webpage and I am looking to set the initial zoom to fit to the object size  Here is what I tried but it is not affecting the zoom     lt embed src  filename pdf zoom 50  width  575  height  500  gt    does anyone know how to modify the code so its initial zoom is set to fit the object size

Bit of a late response but I noticed that this information can be hard to find and haven't found the answer on SO, so here it is.

Try a differnt parameter #view=FitH to force it to fit in the horzontal space and also you need to start the querystring off with a # rather than an & making it:

filename.pdf#view=FitH

What I've noticed it is that this will work if adobe reader is embedded in the browser but chrome will use it's own version of the reader and won't respond in the same way. In my own case, the chrome browser zoomed to fit width by default, so no problem , but Internet Explorer needed the above parameters to ensure the link always opened the pdf page with the correct view setting.

For a full list of available parameters see this doc
