Some people may find this script useful. It requires "Jon's commands"
(
http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/software) to be installed.
It calculates the size of the (first) screen, opens the finder
selection (all PDF files, hopefully), zooms the PDF file to 100% and
moves the window to the right hand side of the screen.
I find it annoying when PDF files open on my entire screen at a
higher resolution than necessary. You can tweak the zoom and position
to suit your own needs.
This could be configured to run as a droplet or (what I do) as a
QuicKeys macro.
