I am making a presentation at the moment for a new ship that our company are building.
Within the presentation, I am using a high resolution drawing of a ship, and want the viewer to easy be able to zoom in and out and move around the drawing in full screen mode.
On my computer I am using the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, but on my colleague's pc the mouse wheel makes the same presentation move to the next page.

My question is: Is it possible to set this function in the doucument itselves and save it, so when I send this presentation to a potential constumer, his/her mouse wheel will zoom. Regardless of the settings in his Adobe Reader ?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.2, Windows

The JavaScript API doesn't give you access to change user preferences, nor does it have an override for the mouse wheel events, except in the context of a 3D scene. You can capture and re-purpose clicks, but not scrolls. It's one of those things I doubt anyone thought was necessary, as very few people ever find that setting in Gen Prefs and change their wheel to do anything other than the default.

Pressing Ctrl+Spacebar on Windows or Cmd+ Spacebar on the Mac you can zoom in in Full Screen Mode. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar you zoom out (on Windows) or Cmd+Option+Spacebar (on Mac). On the Mac when you do a Cmd + spacebar, you may find that you open the Spotlight window, and if that happens, just go ahead and hold down the spacebar first, so you sort of like spacebar + Cmd + Click.
