the full command would most likely be:

\hypersetup{pdfstartview=FitBH}

This helps, but what would be really handy is support for Articles in 
pdfLaTeX. I remember seeing this in one of the pdfTeX guides, but it seemed 
to be just raw TeX code, and I remember not having much success with trying 
to make it work in a LaTeX document. Suggestions, anyone?

(For those not familiar with the term in the context of PDF, you can define 
an article as a collection of text boxes ("beads") in natural reading 
order. This way, a two-column document could have one bead for each column, 
and after reading the first column, the viewer automatically jumps to the 
second column.)
