I need from my C# application open a PDF file by using Foxit Reader or Adobe Reader in full screen mode. Manually, I do it typing F11 in Foxit Reader and CTRL+L on Adobe Reader. This changes the current file view to "full screen" mode. But programmatically, I have no idea how to do this! Thanks in advance.

as I'm opening the pdf file:

Process.Start(filename);

Also, in addition to using the other solutions, you could open a Windows Form (or WPF Window) with a WebBrowser control and point it at the PDF file. The PDF file will open in the web browser control. Just set the Windows Form Properties to be Maximized with no border, and that should be the key to getting what you want without messing with Process.
