hyperrefpdfviewers
I want that my pdf opens in fullscreen mode by default and I use the following command :
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen}
This works fine when I open the pdf with Adobe Acrobat but does not work with Apple's Preview (the default pdf viewer on Mac OS) or with Skim (the free software alternative for Mac OS). Does anyone has a solution which would work with all kind of software ?
Updated (Sept 15,2013):
I use Adobe Reader 11 (free version) and my settings are as follows. The red rectangles are used to highlight the important parts. If you use version 10, simply change the number 11 to 10.
Note: Since I have added Adobe Reader 11 path to my system variable, I don't need to specify the full path in "Path of executable" section on the dialog box above.
UPDATE: This does not work as advertised.
I undeleted this post after @Bordaigorl posted the same solution. There are still some unresolved issues. Changing viewPDF.py appears to work only if Skim is not installed.
The PDF-viewer in the LaTeXTools-package is configured in a file called viewPDF.py — as @kgr already pointed out. For OSX you can change the viewer form skim to preview by changing line 44 from:
viewercmd = ["open", "-a", "Skim"]
to:
viewercmd = ["open", "-a", "Preview"]
But I would recommend against it. Skim is an excellent PDF viewer that takes under 10 MiB on your harddisk.

It is not possible to achieve this by the use of
Section 3.7 of
Hyperrefdocumentation states thatIf there is a solution to your problem, it does not lie in
pdfpagemode.
