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.

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.

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.

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:

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. 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?

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.

Just as an update, Ralph explained (here) that in Snow Leopard, the iChat application no longer gets it's speed values from QuickTime.

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.

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?

Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.

How can i take a full screen shot of a web page without using paparazzi?

I would like to take a full screen shot of a web page but scroll down to the page as well. i have downloaded paparazzi which seemed to be recommanded but I am not satisfied with what it does any other suggestion to get a clear picture of the page???

Hi Keith,
It doesn't have to be a movie. Snagit, for example can capture the complete browser window as an image which you can then save as a png, jpg, tiff, gif, bmp or snagit document. That's what I thought the OP wanted so I didn't suggest the built in screen captures.
Take care,
ivan
(To Philo9, I saved this with 80% quality, so it's not the best. You can save as full quality, png or tiff to get better than this. Click on it to see it full size.)

How do I get previews in full screen?

Bridge CC on MacBook Pro 15" Retina: How do I get previews in full screen? Images with a height of less than 2000 pixels do not fill the screen.

thanks Tom, well you are right, but because so much of Final Cut footage is played back in QT I almost think of it as an an appendage of the program. I can repost this, but do you know the answer?

After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??

After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??
where can I adjust this option ?? I tried in IE, the search way is normal as in past..
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I believe this to be a browser issue, not a google search results issue, and here is why:
having updated Firefox only yesterday, I visited google images searching for pancakes.... interestingly, I have the NEW image results (yuck) on Firefox 3.6.8, I have the OLD image results on IE8 and Opera 10.53.
When I use the 'switch to basic version' in Firefox 3.6.8, indeed it DOES revert to the new format next time I image search (in Firefox).
For those of us who prefer the OLD image results page, I guess we will just have to switch browsers for google image search.
Now I'm off to research how to get rid of the UGLY FFox sidebar.

Bridge CS4 - pdf scrambled previews on pages after page 1

I have a set of pdf files from InDesign that have multiple pages. On these files, the first page displays fine, but on subsequent pages the preview is scrambled and I detect some overall display glitchiness while Bridge is showing me a scrambled preview.
I understand Adobe's hooking into OpenGL hardware acceleration, so I checked preferences in Bridge CS4 for acceleration settings. I checked the "use software rendering" option in the Advanced settings, restarted Bridge and the problem disappears.
I'm running an ATI FireGL 3400 card with the latest driver on an XP Pro machine. Not all multiple page pdfs show the problem. The files with the scrambled previews are banner layouts and several letter size page layouts display multiple page previews normally. I'd be happy to provide Adobe support with a file (under 2MB) for testing. So far Photoshop appears to be happy with OpenGL acceleration enabled - except that I get messages that I don't have enough ram to run more than two image windows accelerated with my hardware.

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.

Full screen shows un-edited photo

When I edit a RAW photo using an external editor (Photoshop 7.0), the changes only partially work. After saving and switching back to iPhoto, the preview thumbnail is correct. Viewing the edited photo in full screen briefly shows the edit, but then reverts to the old photo!
It seems that the jpg version of the file has been successfully edited, and iPhoto shows that briefly while reading the RAW (.NEF) file. Somehow, the flag marking the photo as having been edited didn’t get set.
I had this problem happen once before when iPhoto crashed. But now that I updated to 6.06, it seems to happen all the time. The only work around that I know is to open the photo back up in an external editor, do a “Save As”, and the import the saved file back in as a new photo.
I am running 10.4.9 on a MacBook. All my software is up to date. The photos are from a Nikon D70.
If anyone knows a fix, or a better work around, I would love to hear it!
MacBook (Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

well, this is something which is as expected , application takes 1-2 seconds to show a clear preview.

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!

Shortcut keys NOT working when publish to PDF full screen

We have a series of modules that are published to pdf and the animations run inside the pdf file. We use the Tab shortcut key quite a bit as it simulates the natural progression between form items.
This works fine when viewing the pdf in standard mode. But when you right click on the PDF and go full screen, the Tab key fails to work. It wants to place emphasis on the playback controller.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and do you know the workaround?

If the PDF's page content is not renderable text (e.g., the scanned image/picuture of characters or outlined fonts (which are graphics (a "picuture")) then there is nothing for the Highlight Comment tool to work with.
So - two trials.
Acrobat's Preferences set to permit "U" to make use of the Underline tool.
Each trial done in Full screen.
#1 = a PDF with scanned stuff. Press "U". Tool is available but unable to highlight anything.
#2 = a PDF with renderable stuff. Press "U". Tool is available & can place highlight over selected characters.
Be well...

How to activate windows screensaver in PDF full screen mode?

Hey everyone!
We have some PDF based product presentations that we show on plasma screens. Recently we renewed our computes and switched from Vista to Windows 7, as well as Adobe Reader 9.3 to X.
Since this change the Windows screensaver doesn't activate when a PDF document is displayed in full screen mode.
I've already tried to install Adobe Reader 9.3 again, but it seems that this has nothing to do with the Reader version but with Windows 7.
Can someone please confirm this? I want to get sure this is indeed the case with Windows 7.
The more important question is: How can I get the sceensaver running again?
Thank you in advance!

On Windows, this will be fixed in Firefox 30 (the next release, currently in [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/ beta]). In the mean-time there are apparently [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517870#c35 workarounds].
For Mac OS X & Linux however, this is not fixed yet.
