If you want the document to be viewed in full screen, but as a courtesy, you want to restore the screen preferences of the user back to the original settings. Place the following script as document JavaScript, it will be executed once and only once upon loading the document.

// Save the settings you plan to change.
var _clickAdvances = app.fs.clickAdvances;
var _defaultTransition = app.fs.defaultTransition;
var _escapeExits = app.fs.escapeExits;

// Change these settings.
app.fs.clickAdvances=true;
app.fs.defaultTransition = "UncoverLeft";
app.fs.escapeExits=true;
// Now, go into full screen.
app.fs.isFullScreen=true;

To restore the settings, place the following code in the Will Close section of the Document JavaScripts, located at Advanced > Document Processing > Set Document Actions.

// Restore the full screen preferences that you changed.
app.fs.clickAdvances = _clickAdvances;
app.fs.defaultTransition = _defaultTransition;
app.fs.escapeExits = _escapeExits;


You can use JavaScript to customize how page transitions occur for any pages within a document. This is accomplished through the Doc object’s setPageTransitions and getPageTransitions methods.

The setPageTransitions method accepts three parameters:

nStart — the zero-based index of the beginning page
nEnd — the zero-based index of the last page
aTrans — a page transition array containing three values:
nDuration — the time a page is displayed before automatically changing
cTransition — the name of the transition to be applied
nTransDuration — the duration in seconds of the transition effect

On the last page you can add a button that will close the eBook.

Just be aware that Acrobat/Reader's full screen does not work within a web browser, so you will not get the page flip affect if your clients are using a web browser.
