View PDFs in Full Screen mode
In Full Screen mode, only the document appears; the menu bar, toolbars, task panes, and window controls are hidden.
A PDF creator can set a PDF to open in Full Screen mode, or you can set the view yourself. Full Screen mode is often
used for presentations, sometimes with automatic page advancement and transitions.
The pointer remains active in Full Screen mode so that you can click links and open notes. There are two ways to
advance through a PDF in Full Screen mode. You can use keyboard shortcuts for navigational and magnification
commands, and you can set a Full Screen preference to display Full Screen navigation buttons that you click to change
pages or exit Full Screen mode.
Set the Full Screen navigation bar preference
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Full Screen.
2 Select Show Navigation Bar, then click OK.
3 Select View > Full Screen Mode.
The Full Screen navigation bar contains Previous Page , Next Page , and Close Full Screen View buttons. These
buttons appear in the lower-left corner of the work area.
Read a document in Full Screen mode
If the Full Screen navigation bar is not shown, you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through a PDF.
Note: If you have two monitors installed, the Full Screen mode of a page sometimes appears on only one of the monitors.
To page through the document, click the screen displaying the page in Full Screen mode.
Choose View > Full Screen Mode.
1 Do any of the following:
• To go to the next page, press the Enter, Page Down, or Right Arrow key.
• To go to the previous page, press Shift+Enter, Page Up, or the Left Arrow key.
2 To close Full Screen mode, press Ctrl+L or Esc. (Escape Key Exits must be selected in the Full Screen preferences.)
To show a Full Screen tool in the Common Tools toolbar, right-click the toolbar area and choose Page Display > Full
Screen Mode. Then click the Full Screen tool to switch to Full Screen mode.
Touch mode for tablet and mobile devices
Touch mode makes it easier to use Acrobat and Reader on touch devices. Toolbar buttons, panels, and menus shift apart
slightly to accommodate selecting with your fingers. The Touch reading mode optimizes viewing and supports most
common gestures. Acrobat and Reader automatically switch to Touch mode when on a touch-enabled device. You can
add a Touch mode toggle button to the toolbar or change the default preference setting for Touch mode.
Display Touch mode button on toolbar
You can display a toolbar button to toggle Touch mode on and off.
❖ Choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Touch Mode.
Set Touch Mode preference
You can set how Acrobat enters Touch mode, if at all, for touch enabled-devices.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat/Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).
