Hello Hans,
thanks for all your explanations!
Perhaps LaTeX does not use "openaction". I've made a test with
pdflatex-0.13d and pdflatex-1.30.4 with the following input:

\documentclass{article}
\pdfcompresslevel=0
\usepackage[pdfstartview=FitBH,pdfpagemode=FullScreen]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\section{bla}
\end{document}

The two results are in http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/pdfstartview/
acroread-4.0.5 and acroread-7.0.1 open these files without problems.

The result of a "grep -a FitBH test-0.13d.pdf test-1.30.4.pdf":
test-0.13d.pdf:<< /S /GoTo /D [9 0 R  /FitBH ] >>
test-1.30.4.pdf:<< /S /GoTo /D [10 0 R  /FitBH ] >>

If you could provide a command like
\doittheLaTeXway[pdfstartview=FitBH,pdfpagemode=FullScreen]
that would be really nice!

Greetings, Peter
