Overview of this book

Adobe Acrobat can help you solve a wide variety of problems that crop up when you work with PDF documents on a daily basis. The most common file type for business and communication, this compact portable document format is widely used to collect as well as present information, as well as being equipped with many lesser-known features that can keep your content secure while making it easy to share. From archive features that will keep your documents available for years to come to features related to accessibility, organizing, annotating, editing, and whatever else you use PDFs for, Acrobat has the answer if you know where to look. Designed for professionals who likely already use Adobe Acrobat Pro, this guide introduces many ideas, features, and online services, sorted and organized for you to easily find the topics relevant to your work and requirements. You can jump to any chapter without sifting through prior pages to explore the tools and functions explained through step-by-step instructions and examples. The information in some chapters may build on existing knowledge, but you are not expected to have an advanced level of prior experience. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of the many capabilities of PDFs and how Acrobat makes it possible to work in a way that you will never miss good old ink and paper.

Preferences for running slideshows

We will now explore Acrobat's settings for presentations delivered by a human presenter and auto-running slideshows. We have already set up the navigation action buttons. Now, we will look at the presentation in Full Screen Mode:

  1. From the top menu, select View | Full Screen Mode, or use the Ctrl/Cmd + L keyboard shortcut.

Pages of the document fill the entire screen and the software interface disappears. If your show has begun and pages are turning too fast or too slow, you can control the slide auto-advance time settings.

  1. Tap the Esc keyboard key to exit Full Screen Mode.
  2. From the top menu, select Edit | Preferences | Full Screen (Acrobat Pro | Preferences | Full Screen on macOS) to open settings that can be applied to an entire document. Here is a screenshot:
