Sending PDF files that will open exclusively in "full screen mode"

Flash has this capability with Projector's files. I wonder if Acrobat has the same capability. I've tried unsuccessfully.

If you embed a document script with the following code, the file will open in full-screen mode:
app.fs.isFullScreen = true;
However, the user will always be able to switch back to the regular viewing mode, and it will probably not work if the file is opened in a browser.
Also, it won't work if JavaScript is turned off.

Any way to force a PDF file to be opened in "fit to screen" mode?

Is it possible to force a PDF to open "fit to screen" -- overriding whatever the end user has set as his default viewing preference -- while still allowing said user to zoom in and otherwise modify their viewing mode, AFTER the document has been opened?
In other words, I'd just like to force the initial state on the reader... not limit them to it after the document has been opened.
The reason being that most screens today are widescreen, so when you open a LETTER-format PDF file, most of the time you only see the top half. I'd like to force a document to be seen "fit to screen" so as to see ALL of it when opened... then, the user can do what he/she wants with it (and subsequent pages).
Thanks.

Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

run the MP3's by MP3 Validator and see what happens.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

I have the same question. This is also made more difficult as apple has taken away the handy full screen icon on the upper right hand corner.

Overwriting a PDF file that is open on another computer

Hi!
Instead of a intranet, we decided to post a PDF file via network mapping to keep the staff updated on the latest news.
We use a mapped network folder as source for the documents, and one document with links so the staff can navigate to relevant information. The staff opens the PDF-file in IE.
The problem we have is that whenever someone in the staff has opened the document in IE we are unable to edit the PDF in Word and overwrite the PDF-file that are availible to the staff.
Is there any way that we can make the file overwritable when someone has opened it, and the person that is reading the file can simple refresh and get the updated information?
This document will be edited by several departement managers, so it's impossible for us to use other editing tools than Office (which they are already used to).
Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert on editing files that are opened by another application, but I am not sure it _can_ be done the way you currently have it set up. At least as far as IE is concerned. (And I hate IE, too.. never did like it.)
IMHO, the file should be stored in a database; that way, no matter how many people are accessing it, you can make changes and save them to the binary stored in a BLOB/CLOB datatype. And if you (exclusive) lock the record as it's being saved, whomever is trying to access it will be "paused" until the save is complete and they will then retrieve the latest update without any corruption of data, or other 'hiccup'.
If a database is not an option, I'm not sure what to do. If it were an intranet, it might be different. But a network share isn't the best solution. It might be cost-saving or easier to maintain; but there's a saying - You can have it cheap, fast, or good; pick two.

SDK creating PDF files that will not print with pcl6

We are using the PDF SDK 7.1 to create PDF files from our application on Windows. The PDF files mostly consist of PATH elements representing 2D graphics. We have customers that have trouble printing them from Acrobat on PCL6 printers, they either get a memory error, or an error that there is not enough memory.
As a workaround, they have used Ghostscript to create the PDF files, then they have no problem printing the files. I am at a loss to see what could cause the problem. Are there tools to analyze a PDF file that could help? I tried PDF CanOpener, and it didn't help much.
We are using PDSaveLinearized when we close the document. Any help, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith Hafen

What version of Acrobat is being used on what OS platform to print to what PCL6-based printer?

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.

Opening swf in full screen mode

Hi,
Is there a way to adjust the screen resolution through actionscript? My requirement is to open the flash movie in full screen mode while all the contents are resized according to the screen size that the movie clip is runing. Please note the movie is not opening on a browser, it should be opened as a stand-alone SWF file.
I tried to do this by setting stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; at the begining of actionscripot, but it didn't work.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using the below function and it is working fine..
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
fullScreenBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onfullScreen);
function onfullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
i think the problem is you are trying to load it full screen from flash IDE, if so then it will not work, Try to run the SWF file seperately, it would definately work.

Open Captivate in full screen mode

Hello all-
I am trying to have my captivate course open in full screen mode versus having the browser toolbars appear. The Full screen button doesn't work because I am publishing this course as AICC complaint in order for it to go into an LMS. (plateau)
Has anyone dealt with this situation before?
I am using captivate 4 for this course.
Thank you!

Is there a way to make a mobile number clickable in an inDesign PDF document, that will open a Texting or Instant Messaging Application?

Thoughts are to allow groups of individuals mobile numbers to be shared across larger organizations, from within a PDF document, that the mobile numbers would be clickable, and open up a Text or instant messaging application on either the computer, tablet, or smart phone, for instant communication.

Where on Windows hard drive does Firefox temporarily store PDF files that I open from websites when I have Adobe Reader configured as the default PDF reader?

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 19.0.2. I see that every time I open a PDF file from a website, it prompts me to either save the file or open it with a program (defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it is the same file name that I keep opening up over and over, it appends an incremental number to the end of the file name. To me this implies that it is download the file to a temporary location and then opening it in Adobe Reader. Where is Firefox storing these files and how can I be sure that they are being deleted regularly? I don't want these files to be kept on my local hard drive after I close the file in Adobe Acrobat.

Files that you choose to open with an external program are saved in your temporary folder. To open it, click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, type '''%TEMP%''' in the search box, then press Enter.<br>
You can clean out temporary files in Windows using the Disk Cleanup utility. The program can also be scheduled to perform cleaning tasks automatically without prompting.

That shouldn't be happening. If you try to download a file that's already in your temporary folder, it should simply open instead of being downloaded again.<br>
I don't know what could be causing it though. First, try upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. If nothing else, your system will no longer be vulnerable to the security holes in the version you're using.

PDF link that will open in a new window.

Is there a way to link to a PDF file so that it will open in a new window. The same way that a link to an external page can do. Can I put it in iDisk and do it that way.

1. Create a folder in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
2. Name it something like 'files' or whatever
3. Copy your .pdf or any other file to that folder
4. web.mac.com/username/nameofthefolder/nameofthefile.extension is the address at which the file will be stored on the web
Example: http://web.mac.com/username/files/nameofthefile.pdf
Put this url as Link to: an external page (changing username and name of the file).
It should work with open in a new window.

Cédric

How do I get rid unnecessary processing of pdf files that delays opening

Some time ago I got a question whether I wanted to structure my files for better reading or something like that. Unfortunately, I said yes. Since then it takes for ever to open pdf-files. I have not yet found a way to remove this in my mind unnecessary service.

Hi Christian,
Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & Operating System installed on your computer in order to diagnose the issue correctly?

Pdf's that will open in XP will not in Vista?

So I am thoroughly confused. I recently purchased an interactive CD that contains scannned in aoutomotvie user manuals and cannot open the Pdf's contained on it using Vista 64-Bit.
My cousin has XP home premium and they open up fine. We both have Reader 9 installed. I can open up all other Pdf's just fine. In fact I have never not been been able too on my Vista machine.
Doe anyone have any idea why Reader 9 on XP would work with these pdfs but not on Vista?
ps. the Vista error I get when I try to open them says that "..it's not a supported file type or becasue the file has been damaged" Obvioulsy it is and hasn't if the XP machine can view it.
Thanks for you input guys!

a) Do both machines have the exact same dot version of Reader? This can be seen on Adobe Reader>Help>About dialog. The latest today is 9.3.1
b) How are you opening the file - by double clicking or using the file open menu? Or does it fail either for case.
