Google Embedded PDF Zoom Parameter

Question

I want to embed a PDF in chrome such that that the document fills the available horizontal space of the plugin. (i.e. Minimal gray plugin background at the sides of the document). Is there a way to pass a parameter when I embed the PDF that can specify the zoom level I want the document to open at?

Couldn't find anything recent on this topic. I found this but it's a couple years old and Google changed their PDF viewer recently.

Now it is possible.
You can provide plugin options via url.
To set document zoom to fit window width you need:

http://example.com/sample.pdf#view=fith

where fith - stands for fit horizontally

How would this work with an embedded PDF? I tried this `` but it did not zoom the PDF – martin schwartz Feb 27 '19 at 03:17
@martinschwartz - I found this parameter in the plugin source code. You can try to do the same with embeded document. – Pavel Agarkov Feb 27 '19 at 10:56
That's what I commented above, I tried doing so for an embedded PDF but it didn't work... – martin schwartz Feb 28 '19 at 16:05
I mean try to look at source code to find why it does not work – Pavel Agarkov Feb 28 '19 at 19:17
@PavelAgarkov Where is the source code? – Travis Bemrose Jan 14 '23 at 03:14
