Highlight text in full screen mode

Hi,
Is it possible to use the highlight text and underline functions while I'm in full screen mode? It'd be really helpful.
Thanks.

The keyboard shortcut (U) for highlighting doesn't work when you switch to full screen Acrobat switches to the article reading tool. You do not seem to be able to switch to the select tool so you can highlight.

Full screen mode and textarea workaround?

Hey all,
according to adobe it's not possible to enter text in full
screen mode due to security issues:
"Although full-screen mode does not support text input, the
text input cursor will display over input text fields. Workaround:
dynamically convert input fields to dynamic text fields or disable
TextInput components when in full-screen mode. (182474)"
If I may say so, this quite sucks.... It suppose to be
security related issue (how???) are there any workarounds knows??
This seriously limits the way users can work with any RIA

This is Apple's warped sense of humor about how full screen should work. Aparrently the designer only uses tablets so has no clue how the real world works.
This is totally hated by most power users but, alas, Apple aren't doing anything about fixing this patently broken design, let alone admitting that they could have made a mistake.
Your options are to either put up with it or back out to Snow Leopard.

I pressed something, and it made the browser go into a "full screen" mode, how do I change it back? And also, something happened and made my FireFox text on all internet pages smaller, is there any way I could change this setting?

I had pressed a button on my keyboard which made my text and pictures and the whole page smaller in size, can I change that? And how could I change my browser out of "Full Screen" mode?

You can press F10 to toggle (View) Full Screen mode.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

"Full Screen Mode" in Adobe Reader XI for Windows 8 loads way too slow!

I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8, after having used Windows Vista for years. I installed Adobe Reader XI for my new computer. Before, I used Adobe Reader X on Vista. I used Adobe Reader "Full Screen Mode" to read the nice-looking Bible chapters I created with internet audio from Biblegateway.com. In Vista, the "Full Screen Mode" appeared quickly, before the audio fully started, so I could see the text in time for the reading.
However, with Windows 8, "Full Screen Mode" takes around 5-10 seconds to appear at all, and a black screen is present throughout the wait. It does the same thing when I hit "escape" to exit "Full Screen Mode" as well. I even uninstalled Adobe Reader XI from my new laptop, and tried using Adobe Reader X, even though it is not recommened by Adobe to do that on Windows 8, in order to test the speed of "Full Screen Mode" there. Adobe Reader X had the same problem! I do not know if this can be fixed, but I am pretty unhappy about it! I enjoyed the "Full Screen Mode" with my PDF chapters and the online bible audio! Finding that function for the first time with Adobe Reader X was a delight for me! It gave the reading a theater feel!
Has anyone else here had a similiar problem with "Full Screen Mode" loading way too slow on Windows 8? I am very disappointed! If this cannot be fixed by a user, is there a place to complain to Adobe and make a recommendation for software improvement? Thank you!

Using a tablet PC pen to annotate PDF slides in full screen mode

I'm using Acrobat 8 Standard on a tablet PC with Win XP Professional SP 3 running. I m using Acrobat to run LaTeX presentations, and am looking for a way to use my tablet PC pen to annotate (underline, circle, etc.) slides in full/screen mode, as is possible with MS PowerPoint. I am at a loss here. Any ideas/pointers?

I haven't ever tried it in Acrobat. You may find it easier to use Classroom Presenter with the tablet (a free download). You can import all of the slides as graphics (basically save as TIFF and then import). They you can annotate in the program as you use the presentation. A nice advantage of this program when using a presentation mode with a separate monitor is that the separate monitor can view only the presentation area, but the original still show all of the toolbars.
I would guess that you are really looking for a dual screen mode like that for Acrobat. If you try to do written text with Acrobat, the pencil tool is a bit clumsy and you might not find it that easy to use. I will look for a dual screen mode on my tablet, but would probably start by checking the manual.

Full Screen Mode Page Size

When I set up my PDF to open in Full Screen Mode, it always opens at full screen size. Is there a way to reduce the size of the page to 50% or so? I tried doing so in the settings but whatever I do, it keeps opening up to full screen size.
Thanks!

ok I've done I figured out the problem! OK the problem is with the links (jumping from one page to another). OK this is why some pages get smaller. Alright you might have to check all your links on each page, but it will fix the problem. First go to any page now click the links button and all the links should be highlighted now on that page. Next Right click on a link, then go to properties, and here a menu will pop up. The problem lies in here. OK see where it says Zoom level. Make sure it says FIT PAGE or whatever is consistent to your other links. If it doesnt, click edit and change it to FIT PAGE. The reason my page or pages would get smaller is becasue instead of FIT PAGE it said CUSTOM and that made the page smaller. Try it works no joke! Let me know how it comes out?

Open a form in full Screen mode

Hi all,
I want to open a form in IE with full screen mode . Is it possible ?
Plz guide ....
Thanks

why do not u wanna use URL for that? ok open Formsweb.cfg in notepad and modify the URL section.
# Example Named Configuration Section
# Example 1: configuration to run forms in a separate browser window with
# "generic" look and feel (include "config=sepwin" in the URL)
# You may define your own specific, named configurations (sets of parameters)
# by adding special sections as illustrated in the following examples.
# Note that you need only specify the parameters you want to change. The
# default values (defined above) will be used for all other parameters.
# Use of a specific configuration can be requested by including the text
# "config=<your_config_name>" in the query string of the URL used to run
# a form. For example, to use the sepwin configuration, your could issue
*# a URL like "http://myhost.mydomain.com/forms/frmservlet?config=qatar".*

Open the application in Full Screen Mode

Hi all,
I want my application to open in Full Screen Mode(same as when 'F11' key is pressed) after login button is clicked.
How can it be done in application express??
Can anyone help me??

Hi,
Make sure you add the code into the page's HTML Header setting:
<script type="text/javascript">
function maxWindow()
window.moveTo(0, 0);
if (document.all)
top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
else
if (document.layers || document.getElementById)
   if (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth)
    top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
    top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
window.onload = maxWindow;
</script>I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:158]
Note that a user can stop javascript from resizing/repositioning the browser (I have this set in FireFox for example) - so this code may not work in those circumstances

Cursor Disappears After I Return From VIewing Web Video In Full Screen Mode

After I view a video from a web site in full screen mode using Safari v6.0.1 or Firefox v15.0.1, I escape to normal screen mode. When I then try to move the cursor using the built-in trackpad, I am unable to see the cursor anywhere on the screen. I do, however, see some artifacts of the cursor's movement in the text contained in the window and in the text of the menu bar as the cursor passes them.
What can I do to eliminate this "inconvenience"?

Large gray 'band' along bottom of monitor when in full screen mode

No doubt this is something that's very simple to resolve but...
For some reason I'm having a large gray empty 'band' (i.e. rectangular strip) appear along the bottom of my monitor's window in "Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar."
This has only started happening in the last couple of days and I don't recall it ever happening before (no matter what screen mode I've been in).
The only way I've been able to temporarily eliminate this is to replace my Photoshop preference files from a backup.
Again... probably some very simple setting... but even then... I don't see what I've been doing recently that I haven't done thousands of times before that would cause this.
The last time it occurred I had simply dragged a layer from one file to another file and BAM... the gray strip appeared again when I went to full screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Ron

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Pdf full screen mode page size

Hi all,
I am building an interactive pdf and everything is working nicely, other than the page size when the file is started. What happens is that when you open the file and it autostarts in full screen mode the first page is full screen, then when navigating to page 2 it is a bit smaller than page 1, and then going to page 3 is even smaller where the remainder of the pages are then the same size.
How can I get this file to open and view ALL AT THE SAME PAGE SIZES?
Thanks!
Todd

ok I've done I figured out the problem! OK the problem is with the links (jumping from one page to another). OK this is why some pages get smaller.

Advanced Filter Behaves differently in Full screen mode

I have a power view report designed and published in SharePoint 2013. It has a filter on a text field -
I can filter it with filter conditions "contains" in regular view mode. But this same field is not editable in "Full Screen Mode". The Numeric filters work fine in "Full screen mode"
Is there any recommendations to fix this?
Thanks

Hi rskr,
According to your description, you find the advanced filter in Power View is not working in Full screen mode. Right?
Unfortunately, this is a known and documented limitation of Silverlight, which does not support keyboard input in full screen mode. Please refer to a Microsoft feedback below:
PowerView advanced filter mode doesn't work in Full Screen Mode
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Adjusting Aspect ratio in Full screen mode

When Firefox is in Full Screen Mode, the text etc. occupy only the middle of the screen and is not displayed as spread over the entire screen.
Why?
What are the steps to follow to rectify this?
OS-WinXP with SP3 and NetFramework 4.0
Monitor - Samsung SA300 - 22" Wide Screen.
'''IE displays the page correctly.'''

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Quick Look full screen mode won't move to next image?

When I highlight the first image in a folder full of multiple images and then press "Space" quick look opens and shows me that first image. I can then move on to the next image by simply pressing the down arrow.
But if I enter quick look's full screen mode it won't move to the next image unless I first select all the images in the folder before entering full screen mode?
Why? Why would functionality SO simple (move to the next image) not be included in the full screen mode of quick look? It renders the full screen mode essentially pointless, who wants to look at ONE image in full screen? Of course everyone wants to browse the images, but why should I have to select all of them, why not just let me move from one to the next... exactly as I can when NOT in full screen mode?
C'mon apple...

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....
