I was wrong in what I said; the /PageMode is entirely independent
from the "open-action spec".
I think the way the syntax was shown was unnecessarily baroque. It
seems that the idea is that "openaction <action spec>" can optionally
follow the \pdfcatalog <general text>, where <action spec> is the same
as for, e.g., \pdfstartlink.
The samplepdf.tex file gives an example:
\pdfcatalog{ % Catalog dictionary of PDF output.
/PageMode /UseOutlines %
/URI (http://www.fi.muni.cz/) %
%...
}
openaction goto page 1 {/Fit} % the action to be activated when
% opening the document; this is the
% same as <action spec> for links...
I've tinkered with the manual accordingly. Thanks for the report. -k
