 * Hi [@chasls123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chasls123/),
 * It isn’t possible to open the viewer in the full-screen mode by default as this
   behaviour does require user input to initiate.
 * I think what might be useful to you would be creating a custom page template 
   within your site’s theme. Creating a custom template would allow you to eliminate
   any sidebars, widgets, or other content that would normally be populated to the
   page. There are a couple of resources I can point you to that would be helpful:
    - WordPress Child Themes: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
    - Page Templates: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/)
    - Full Width Page Templates for Any Theme: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/fullwidth-templates/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fullwidth-templates/)
 * If you have any other questions, please feel free to send an email to [contact@wp-pdf.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-view-4/contact@wp-pdf.com?output_format=md)
   as we may not see messages posted here to respond in a timely fashion.
