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.
1 Choose View > Full Screen Mode.
2 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.
3 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 Page Display toolbar, right-click the Page Display toolbar and choose Full Screen
Mode. Then click the Full Screen tool to switch to Full Screen mode.
Viewing PDFs in a web browser
You can view PDFs in a supported web browser, or you can set your Internet preferences to open linked or downloaded
PDF files in a separate Acrobat window. If you open PDFs in Acrobat outside the browser, you cannot use Fast Web
Viewing, form submittal in a browser, or search highlighting on the web.
Because keyboard commands may be mapped to the web browser, some Acrobat shortcuts may not be available.
Similarly, you may need to use the tools and commands in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the browser toolbar or
menu bar. For example, to print a PDF document, use the Print button in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the Print
command in the browser. (In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can choose File > Print, Edit > Copy, and Edit > Find
on the Internet Explorer toolbar.)
Note: Having multiple versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on the same computer can prevent you from viewing
PDFs in a web browser. Examples include Acrobat 8 with Adobe Reader 9, or Acrobat 7 with Reader 8, and so on. Try
deselecting the Display PDF In Browser option in Internet Preferences in one program, and selecting the option in the
other program. For more information about coexisting installations, see the Tech Note at
Internet preferences
Display PDF In Browser
Displays any PDF opened from the web in the browser window. If this option is not selected,
PDFs open in a separate Acrobat window. On Mac OS, if you have installed both Reader and Acrobat, you can select
which application and which version to use.
Note: If Reader is installed on your system and you subsequently install Acrobat, Safari continues to use Reader to open
PDFs in your browser. Use this option to configure Safari to use Acrobat.
Allow Fast Web View
Downloads PDFs for viewing on the web one page at a time. If this option is not selected, the
entire PDF downloads before it is displayed. If you want the entire PDF to continue downloading in the background
while you view the first page of requested information, also select Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background.
Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background
Allows a PDF to continue downloading from the web, even after
the first requested page appears. Downloading in the background stops when any other task, such as paging through
the document, is initiated in Acrobat.
