After checking various chrome bug reports, I can confirm that Google Chrome ignores the default functionality of Adobe PDF viewer. At the time of this answer there is no way to pass parameters (like zoom) to the Chrome PDF viewer.
EDIT
Progress has been made on this by the Chromium team. The work was being done with reference to both the Acrobat SDK and RFC 3778. As of Dec 2017 Chromium added support for view
, zoom
, page
, toolbar
and nameddest
and later made it into Chrome.
It appears that a later release of Chrome may now be the answer. I had success passing zoom
and page
parameters through an object
tag.
Case:
- Set zoom to 200%
- Set page to 2
Example:
<object data="https://your.url/docs/123.pdf#zoom=200&page=2"
type="application/pdf"
width="100%"
height="100%">
</object>
Use iframe:
- It works in Mozilla
- It works in Chrome
- No Javascript needed
Example:
<div id="mypdf">
<iframe src="/cennik.pdf#zoom=65" style="width: 100%; height: 800px;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
<p>Your web browser doesn't support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</div>
