Default Zoom for Google Doc Embedder Wordpress plugin

Question

I am using the Google Doc Embedder Wordpress plugin to display PDFs on a website. There are no options that I can find (or documentation) to control the default zoom level.

Is there a way to programmatically configure the default zoom level, or override some JavaScript?

Here is the shortcode:

I believe it's not possible and, if it is possible, my research shows no trace of Google's documentation about it. Also:

• tried adding the queries &zoom=2 and &z=2 in Google's Viewer URL, but to no avail.
• tried this search query at Web Applications but nothing showed up.
• checked the mentioned plugin code and there's nothing about this in it.
• found this related and unsolved question here at SO: Google docs viewer url parameters.

I found some minor tweaks. The one for removing the sidebar makes the page occupy the full width:

• how to show only one page, from Link to specific page on Google Document Viewer on iPad.
• set the language used in tooltips adding the query var &hl=pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese in this example), from this Google forum thread.
• Remove the sidebar, from a Google forums thread as shown in Can Google Viewer hide the lefthand navigation on a PDF by default

Overriding with JavaScript is not possible, as it will produce a SameOrigin security error.
