Is there a way to let pdf viewers automatically start in presentation mode?

Yes there is :)

Simply add this to your preamble

In LaTeX

\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen}

In ConTeXt

\setupinteractionscreen[option=max]

Hmm, with beamer it doesn't work for me. – Hendrik Vogt Dec 1 '10 at 10:50

The command is FullScreen (capital S), as @Peter Smit points out in his answer. – Seamus Dec 1 '10 at 11:36
sorry for the typo – Matten Dec 1 '10 at 11:39

@Matten, I guess you should mention that unless you're using beamer, you need to \usepackage{hyperref} for the first version to work... (although why you'd want fullscreen apart from beamer is a mystery...) – Seamus Dec 1 '10 at 11:54
@Seamus: Thanks, that was the problem. – Hendrik Vogt Dec 1 '10 at 12:35

Yes, the hyperref package can do this for you.

\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen}

If the OP is using beamer, the explicit hyperref call is superfluous: it's automatically loaded... – Seamus Dec 1 '10 at 11:36

You can also use the pdfTeX primitive \pdfcatalog to set up full screen mode directly into the pdf:

\pdfcatalog{ /PageMode /FullScreen }
