Preview.app Full screen annoyance

I really like the full screen mode to read documents. There's one problem which
I found really irritating. Here it is:
1. On page 1 of a pdf file, I move to fullscreen
2. I read on to page 50 say in full screen
3. Now I want to mark up something, so I exit full screen by pressing escape
4. But this lands me back to page 1 !?
Is there a fix for this? I am considering moving to Acrobat which works all right, but wanted to
check if the preview can be made to work before I do that.
THanks.

I did not find the escape key to do anything.
1. On page 1 of a pdf file, I move to fullscreen
Do you click the green ( + ) button top left? Works for me.
2. I read on to page 50 say in full screen
OK I go to page 20 (short document)
3. Now I want to mark up something, so I exit full screen by pressing escape
I simply press the green ( - ) button
4. But this lands me back to page 1 !?
Not me, I am still on the page 20.

  • Can I change the transition animation in Preview's full-screen mode?

    When moving through a PDF file in Preview's full-screen mode, the pages slide off to the left/right when using arrow keys (up when using the space bar). I discovered that I can skip this animation by holding down the option key when I hit the arrow key, or by using a four-finger swipe.  But I'd like to use my remote to advance pages in the PDF, and I'd like to get rid of the transition animations permanently.  Is there a way to customize the transition animation preference? I don't see anything in the Preferences to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.even if I restart. I'm not able to acces any of the top tools.

    What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
    You can reset the workspace to its default by deleting your preferences folder.
    Information on finding and deleting the preferences folder can be found here, in After Effects Help:

  • IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

    Hi,
    I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
    Steps -
    Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
    Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
    A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
    Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
    The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
    Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanks

    This is more of a feature of the browser already.
    With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.
    http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57513848-285/how-to-use-safaris-full-screen-mode-on-io s-6/
    One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
    Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

  • Preview pdf full screen shows double pages after page 1

    How can I get Preview to show single pages in fullscreen mode? It keeps showing the 2nd and 3rd page (and so on) of any pdf side by side on the screen. Single page display in a window works fine, but when swithcing to full screen it always displays it as a two-page layout.

    I don't have CS4 but in CS3 I could get the same results as "use software rendering" as when I clicked on "restore down" (middle symbol in upper rt corner of windows screen) even though I enlarged the window to full screen.
    In maximize window mode I had several problems with the preview without software rendering, and knew my video card was weak point. I know this is not the same issue but does not cost anything to try it. Don't know why it worked either.

  • Preview in full screen?

    I swore not that long ago, when I previewed an iDVD project I had made, it went to full screen.. Not it doesn't.. is there a toggle, because I don't see one.

    Hi hupjack,
    Sorry, no iDVD window can be resized. Are you mistaken with Apple DVD Player which can be full screen?

  • ARD 3.7 full screen annoyances

    Folks,
    After the upgrade to ARD 3.7 I get a couple of annoyances when I switch to full screen:
    Cannot switch back to window mode
    The floating toolbar disappeared
    Does anybody know how to solve these?

    Found the way out by accident. When in full screen mode, move the mouse cursor to the very top side of the screen (not the corners). After a short delay the local menu bar and the remote desktop toolbar appear and from there one can use toolbar button or exit the fulll screen mode from the menu.
    Hope this helps the others

  • How to change Preview's Full screen default setting from "two-pages" to "continuous scroll"

    I am using OS X mavericks on my mid 2013 Air.
    I usually need to open multiple PDFs during my work and I prefer to put them all in full screen for easy swapping. I was able to change the setting which allowed me to open PDFs in "continuous scroll". However, the PDFs became two-pages display again when I put them into full screen and I can't find any setting which allow me to change the full screen default display mode. Is there a way to do it or it is simply not possible.? Could Apple just add an option for us to change it? Thanks in advance for any help.

    You may also need to reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • I open Preview in full screen mode and open two files.

    How do I switch between the files? In non full-screen mode I can press cmd +` but this does not work in full-screen. I can go to Windows and choose the one I want but that is inconvenient. I tried this in Mail and Windows does not work.

    Hi there
    The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
    Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.
