For command-line arguments for the installer see this page.

You can launch Sumatra with additional command-line options: SumatraPDF.exe [argument ...] [filepath ...].

All arguments start with dash (-). Some arguments are followed by additional parameter.

Anything that is not recognized as a known option is interpreted as a file path so it's possible to mix file paths and command-line arguments.

List of command line options

• -presentation : start in presentation view
• -fullscreen : start in full screen view
• -new-window : when opening a file, always open it in a new window, as opposed to in a tab (since 3.2)
• -appdata <directory> : set custom directory where we'll store SumatraPDF-settings.txt file and thumbnail cache
• -restrict : runs in restricted mode where you can disable features that require access to file system, registry and the internet. Useful for kiosk-like usage. Read more detailed documentation.

Navigation options

• -named-dest <destination-name> : searches the first indicated file for a destination or a table-of-contents entry (or starting with version 3.1 also a page label) matching destination-name and scrolls the document to it. Combine with -reuse-instance if the document is already open.

• -page <pageNo> : scrolls the first indicated file to the indicated page. Combine with -reuse-instance if the document is already open.

  • "single page"

  Notice that options with space have to be surrounded by "" quotes.

  Combine with -reuse-instance if the document is already open.

• -zoom <zoom-level> : Sets the zoom level for the first indicated file. Alternatives are "fit page", "fit width", "fit content" or any percentage value. Combine with -reuse-instance if the document is already open.
