Full Screen PDF's

When I open a Pdf attachment in Windows 8 on a new Dell computer it always opens in full screen. I run an extra monitor as well. How can I stop documents opening in full screen mode as it makes them very hard to read, especially when I have CAD drawings etc

Ctrl+L should get you out of fullscreen mode; I think it should also remember this when opening a PDF next time.

How do I create a full screen pdf?

I have created some eGuides specifically for iPhone/iPod 5 using the specified screen dimensions 1136 x 640. However it seems iBook author retains a top bar to show signal strength, time and battery charge.
1. Can that be turned off to achieve full screen and if so how can it be done as part of opening the pdf?
2. What is the remaining screen size so I can build for that?
3. How do I take a screen snap so I can precisely measure what is being used?
4. Is there an alternate eReader that will let me use full screen, but retain full navigation and links in the pdfs?

I have created an interactive Travel Guide, as a prototype, in Pages and exported to pdf.
I am viewing that in iBooks on my iPod Touch till I work through the issues and resolve my best workflow and end result.
I have got well beyond my initial problems with the screen resolution, but will need to work out a more flexible solution. I am very satisfied with my current effort, which impresses the few people I have tested it on, but need to extend the interaction, form filling, multi-media and cross referencing.
Love to discuss this with you offline, as I'd certainly like to bounce things off you.

Command-L doesn't work for full-screen PDF under Mac

In Adobe Reader, users can use Ctrl-L to view PDF in full screen under Windows (Cmd-L under Mac); in AIR, Ctrl-L still works under Windows but Cmd-L doesn't work under Mac. Is this a bug or the short-cut is intentionally disabled?

Hi If using command r did not get you to the recovery partition, you ether don't have it or the drive is corrupt and it wont open.And you also tried option and only got the startup volume. You could try option r. Are you able to boot into your desktop? Or use another mac. You should be able to use you apple id to look in purchases and re-download Lion. Then if you can using at lest a 10 Gig thumb drive copy the lion download as bootable to it and use that to repair your disk. If you get it downloaded do not open it. until you copy it.http://www.macworld.com/article/1161069/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.html

I need a full screen PDF viewer. Which the new DC viewer is not.

For years I have used Adobe PDF viewer as my favorite way to make the actual presentations. Now the new DC version is not a full viewer. I prefer the older version especially for my iPad. Is this possible?

Hi Fulton Cook,
If you tap once on the screen, you can view the pdf in full screen version on your Acrobat DC app for ipad. Are you facing any specific challenges?

Rahul

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

Have you tried setting the initiall view properties of those PDFs to what
you want? Go File>Properties>Initial View.

PDF display accurate page size in Full Screen Mode

Mac G5 Tower Panther OS. When making a PDF presentation to a client (an A4 brochure for example) I would like to use the Full Screen mode using my remote to change pages and make a smooth impression. The problem is on my Apple 20' Cinema display the A4 design fills the screen when I want to show it at 100% size only (210 x 297mm). I can do this easily in Acrobat normal mode but can find no way to make this so with Full Screen mode. The screen resolution is 1680x1050 and I am reluctant to even temporarily change it because it knocks other stuff off kilter.

I can't find how to do this anymore either.
It was a GREAT feature.
And now suddenly, it appears to be removed! What the heck Apple !!!!

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.

How do I make a Full screen button in inDesign for interactive PDF?

I posted this question in the inDesign forum and someone told me to post it in the Acrobat forums.
I would like to make a button in inDesign to give users the option to view a PDF at Full Screen. Much like the button the inDesign Magazine PDFs have.
Thank you for any help!
Best,
John

How do I add a Acrobat button to my inDesign button? I created a button in inDesign with a rollover feature and I want to preserve this feature in Acrobat. Can I apply some type of "invisble" button in Acrobat with a Acrobat JavaScript action?
Thank you!

Preview - consistent pdf size in full screen

Hi,
I read a lot of papers in pdf format using Preview. Usually this is in full screen mode to enable larger text, however I can't find a setting to increase the page size in full screen. I can increase the width with a two finger swipe on the trackpad but each time I move to the next page it changes back to full page view.
How can I set pdf files to display at two thirds of the screen width, on every page in full screen mode?
Thanks in advance.
Regards Colin

With Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) you can set the initial view of PDF documents.

Export as PDF and viewing in full screen mode

Using LR 4.3, I'm exporting a slideshow to PDF. Even though I turned off transitions in LR, the transitions automatcally start in Acrobat X in full screen mode.
My goal is to present ths slide show with a mouse click, or arrow key, to move to the next slide in full screen mode. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Yes, because Acrobat has its own transition settings that take precedence over the settings in Lr.
In Acrobat go >Edit >Preferences >Full Screen and under <Default Transitions> select <No Transition>.

I created a table of contents in Indesign CS4 exported it to a pdf format. Now having an issue in viewing it in full screen mode.

When I open the pdf document it is in full screen mode and when I click onto a table of content link it is full screen vertical but not full screen horizontal. How do I make it full screen both ways.

You are not making sense. Are you referring to the way the PDF is opened into your PDF reading application? If so, what has that to do with a 'table of contents'?
In any case, it seems not related to a problem with InDesign. Try the Acrobat forum instead.

Full Screen mode cancelled by launching PDF in Browser Window

There are quite a few of these posts on here. After Flash 9
the fullscreen fscommand no longer retains its fullscreen display
if you use getURL to launch a browser window to display either a
web page or a PDF. All of the previous posts have been "answered"
by the Flash Jester Jugglor Support Team, unashamedly plugging
JSTART and JUGGLOR to everyone raising this issue. When all we
really need is a response from Adobe on how we can fix this -
because it's obviously a BUG - and serves no real purpose.
I DON'T want to buy JUGGLOR, I tried it years ago and found
it buggy and unfathomable. All I want is to be able to keep my
fullscreen!
The cynic in me wonders whether FlashJester might be owned by
Adobe in some way, and by introducing this bug they're hoping to
raise additional revenue from selling all those copies of
JUGGLOR....?

most likely the example you got has a flaw, I've created a
few flex apps, and the work fine on full screen using ie6 or ie7 or
firefox. Try debugging it so you'll figure out what's the
issue

InDesign to PDF-Full Screen Publish w/out Border

Hi, and thanks to any in the community for any help!
I create not for print, but rather screen-based viewing. I understand setting docs to open in Full Screen mode; however, I want my ID-originated PDFs to fill the entire screen with no border (to right or left of my content.)
Most of my PDFs are intended for single page viewing. When I create content in MS PPT I set slide size to full screen (16:9), publish to PDF, and get the desired effect. See pic 2 below.
I want my ID-originated PDF to not have a border region to the left and right (as seen in pic1)
I'm new to ID and for the life of me can't create a doc which does not have large borders to the right and left of my content (wasted real estate!). I'm sure I'm missing a little thing, have looked all over Youtube and forums but can't resolve! Again any help most appreciated. Am I setting doc properties wrong? (See pic 3).
pic 1
pic 2
No borders in this screen shot (both are from published PDFs!)
Maybe my doc settings? I've tried many variables- here's last:
Again, thanks tons for any help! New to ID and just want my content fill screen w/out "borders" as I know is possible in Acrobat PDF's because I do it often from PPT.
Best. axabicas

Sure! And thanks again for any help- most appreciated.
In this LINK I created a PDF from PPT. Clicking CNTR/Command + L you will see that the PDF does not display "borders" (I'm sure I'm using a wrong word).It's Full Screen! It's to say, there is no space occupied on the screen to the left or right of the "canvas" or content I created- (dark grey areas on both sides of my content). This is what I want from ID.
In this LINK the PDF has "borders" on both sides- (dark grey content) taking up room on both the left and right sides of my content. This is what I want to eliminate,
Hope helps- thanks again for any suggestions/insight!

Full screen mode PDF created on Mac not working on PC?

I've created a PDF presentation on a Mac in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional with about 80 pages. I've set it to open in full screen mode when viewed, which works fine on Mac when tested. When opened on a PC however, in my clients corporate environment, it does not work? Has anyone else come across this problem or have any suggestions to remedy it? Could it be something to do with the system it is being opened on blocking full screen mode?

Check this out in Acrobat help type : Full Screen Mode
look at the following topics:
Defining initial View as Full Screen Mode
Defining initial View
It appears Fullscreen mode is based on OS Specifications So you need to reopen on a PC version of Acrobat and set it again.
Looks like they could have both settings in both programs that is a Line that says set full screen mode for Mac PC Unix Linux set for all.

How to create a full screen Air Application with pdf

Hi,
I need to create a app in full screen which can load pdf files.
I read that the pdf files need to have the nativeWindows in normal mode, and "stage.scaleMode" in "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" mode to run.
So I get the HTMLLoader dimensions by getting the screen resolution. But by putting "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" my movie up and down the pdf is not resizing!!
How can I do to see the pdf and having the asssets (movies in my library) resize too?
Regards,
