Going full screen in Adobe Reader 7

I have happily used Acroread 5 under SuSE 9.2 on my desktop. Now I moved a latex-generated PDF presentation of mine on a laptop with SuSE 10.2 and Adobe Reader 7, and I've noted what it looks like a non-conformance to the X11 standards.
On my old system I used to hit control-L to go full screen in acroread, and I was correctly seeing only the CONTENT of the PDF document.
With Adobe Reader 7.0 when I go full screen I see also the window manager decorations (title bar and border), which means the bottom part of my slides go off screen.
Since my window manager is fvwm, I tried instructing the window manager not to produce any title bar or decorations. If I invoke Adobe Reader, the window (not in full screen) honours whatever choices I make for the decorations(none, title bar on top or bottom or sides etc.).
However as soon as I go full screen, the choices are not honoured and I get the full decorations (title bar on top and borders). Worse than that, when I leave full screen mode the decorations remain and the wm configuration is not honoured.
I also tried playing with the -geometry switch, but that too is honoured outside of full screen mode only.
My current workaround is to define an accelerator key in fvwm so that I move the title bar off screen after entering full screen mode. But I regard that as unsatisfactory. I'd strongly prefer a stricter X11 compliance (as acroread 5 had)

Hello Lucio,
The issue you have reported is a known issue with Adobe Reader 7. These full screen issues have been fixed in Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (the current latest version) where the window manager decorations are not shown in full screen mode.
Adobe Reader 8.1.2 has a large number of new features and bug fixes so I would recommend that you upgrade to that. Refer http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_812_for_linux_and.html for more details.
Also, if you want to know about future release announcements, stay tuned to the official blog for Adobe Reader on Unix at http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread.
Hope this helps.

  • Screen flashes... or an application goes full screen then disappears??!

    A weird and definitely not-normal phenomenon has been happening lately. Somewhat rarely (every 5-6 hours) it seems like my screen flashes. Very briefly.. less than a second. It almost looks as if theres some application that goes full screen, then disappears, or maybe the screen just flashes. Something is definitely not right.
    I don't see anything abnormal in my console though... nor in activity monitor. I've checked for loose connections, etc, and ran hardware tests. Cleared SMC and Pram. I consider myself quite computer savvy, and I install almost no applications, and keep everything nicely optimized.
    I'm using a Dell 3007WFP-HC display, FWIW.

    Some people started having trouble with 8800GT after 10.5.7. Some even went back to 10.5.6 (good reason to always keep a backup boot system with last OS version).
    Or start worrying it is the 8800GT going. Easy to test for IF you have an alternate graphics card handy.
    Heat. Summer. 8800's don't do enough to kick in and properly cool the card on its own - single slot cards are not good at cooling and venting.

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

    Hi,
    I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
    I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
    BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
    The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
    Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

    Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
    Download and install 7.0.4.

  • Need to download a full version of Adobe Reader 9.1

    I need to download a full version of Adobe Reader 9.1... The updates are no good, I need the whole thing to open old documents created in 9.1 on my old PC. Can anyone help ?? (PS : I'm not a big "computer" person, but I do know the original documents were created in 9.1 & won't open in the current version of "Adobe Reader" I just downloaded.) 

    The current version of Adobe Reader X available from the download site will open PDF files with any previous version number. If you have a file which doesn't open then the file itself is corrupted, or uses legacy code which has been disabled for security reasons.
    You can download version 9.1 from the Adobe FTP archive, but we strongly discourage installing it. Adobe has issued a number of security-critical updates since then, and using the old version would place you at risk.

  • How do I pause a full screen slideshow in Reader?

    Is there any way to pause a full-screen slideshow in the latest version of Adobe Reader?  All of the information I can find about this says to use the Spacebar (or Ctrl-Spacebar) to do this, but this just makes it advance for me.  I see this on more than one system, and I've read a few other posts from people saying they have this problem.  Somebody on the Lightroom forums just confirmed today that it didn't work for them either, so it's not unique to my system.
    My slideshows were created in Lr.  The Lr documentation says that the duration and fade rates set in Lr will be ignored in the pdf slideshow, but just as a test I tried both enabling and disabling this feature when outputting the pdf slideshow.  It made no difference.
    Is this a bug in Reader, or is there perhaps a command I'm unaware of to pause pdf slideshows?
    Thanks for any help with this,
    Larry

    Thanks for taking the time to post -- especially to a thread that was started almost a year ago.  I'll give your suggestion a try.

  • Permission request for going full screen and border alert removal.

    Ok so I play some applications games on facebook and currently everytime I go to full screen via the game it requires me to "allow" the program to go full screen.  Also there is always a border alert if my cursor touches it and causes an alert to pop up and tell me what url im connected too.  It pops up right in the middle of my screen and has gotten so troublesome I have scoured the internet for possible solutions.
      The picture above is the current alert when going to full screen and I want to get rid of this for good after allowing it about 10,000 times enough is enough. How do i shut this off?
    this is what i see in the middle of my screen anytime my cursor touches the outer border of my screen which as you can imagine in a high paced gaming situation can be a killer.... I want to keep this from popping up at all I understand i can hit esc to get out of full screen.  In fact i got the point the first 50,000 times i saw it. 
    PLEASE HELP ME !! i am desperate to remove these and have found nothing on the net after searching vigorously.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.

    Check your keyboard settings. Therre are "gaming settings" for things repetitive keypresses, and shortcuts enabling and disabling.

  • Going full screen takes other screen to black.

    This new feature, in Yosemite, automatically takes my other screen to black, when I go to full screen on one screen.  How do I turn this off?
    Thanks.

  • Interactive widget goes full screen but Review widget does not...

    Anyone know why this is or if there is any way to make it go full screen?
    Thanks

    I simply resized mine in the template a bit...
    I don't know why it won't work fp for you, sorry. Perhaps things are a bit buggy right now. Keep trying and good luck.

  • External monitor goes full screen

    i have a custom two screen layout for Premiere Pro. but one of the monitor starts to play full screen an hides the other windows. Any tips on how to customize the video Playout?
    Thanks

    sounds like you have mercury transmit enabled, which is sending full screen video to the second monitor. you can turn it off in the preference settings, or from the program monitor in the wrench tool icon menu, "enable transmit".

  • Hide video before going full screen

    I have a button which launches a video and is set to play full screen. How can I hide the video prior to full screen playback? I've tried putting it off stage, but that doesn't work. Hiding it on the layer also doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, Mohammed, that was the trick!
    So, I am doing some pretty nifty navigation with masked image sequences which are on auto play and looping, the mask is also a button which launches the video. This is also a great way to draw attention to a particular item on the page.
    Anyway, I'm wondering if you know a work around to this - whenever a video is launched and user returns to the page, the image sequences are no longer looping. Is there a way around this? If not, future feature request! ;-)
    Also, please support looping video in a future release. Thanks!

  • Problem reading from the screen of Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    Since I installed Adobe Reader XI, I cannot no more reading the documents from the screen.  Here is what I see:
    I get this message from Adobe:
    I'm following the above instruction I don't see any such option as "Enable Protected Mode". 
    I'm not sure even if this is the cause of the above problem.
    Please help,
    Chanan

    Your top image seems to indicate you may have a computer virus on your system. I highly recommend you run a virus checking program on your computer, download the latest virus definitions and hope that they can remove the infection.

  • Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen   

    I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
    video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
    back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
    I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
    problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
    other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Shawn.

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

  • Need full version of Adobe Reader

    I just bought a used computer and had to reload Windows 7.  Strangely Dell does not include a version of Adobe Reader, so I need one.  The computer is not connected to the Internet so I need to download a full ("offline") version of the Acrobat Reader to transfer to it for installation.  All I can find is those dratted web installer versions.
    Can somebody supply a URL for a full version, and one for Flash as well, if it turns out I need that?
    Thanks
