I'm trying to figure out the relationship between the General.PageMode settings (in the Driver API) and their effect on the initial view within the PDF-XChange Editor (or any PDF viewer).
Basically, I can set the PageMode (choosing from Default, ShowNone, Bookmarks, and Optional Content in the API), aka Navigation View (from Default, Page Only, Bookmarks Pane and Page, etc. in the Document Properties > Initial View > Navigation View) but I see no change in the view. That is, the bookmark or thumbnail pane does not automatically appear when I open the document.
(My goal is to create PDF documents that reliably open with or without the bookmarks or thumbnail pane of whatever viewer the user happens to have.)
Thanks,
Jack

Re: Navigation View (Bookmark Pane not opening)
Hi Jack,
thanks for the post. It may be that the document is fine and the "Inintial View" properties are being overridden.
Do you have "Respect document's settings" enabled in the Editor preferences? If not the document settings will be ignored.
If that is on and the document still does not respect the "Initial View" and the properties look right in the document (I didn't set any, this is just showing you where they should appear):
then please send us the PDF in question.

Aha! Dumb mistake on my part. I had that option set, but overlooked the option to restore the last used view of the document.
Many thanks and sorry for the bother!
Jack

Aha!
I should have thought of that one too!
Good catch Jack.
