Making Commenting Tool Bar Available in FULL SCREEN Mode

Hello,

I am creating a document in Acrobat Professional, and I would like it to be viewed in Full Screen mode in Reader 9.
The only problem is, I need the commenting toolbar (stickies, note tool etc) to be accessible in Full Screen Mode. Acrobat Reader 8 was able to to this (the commenting tool bar popped up), but I'm having a hard time with Acrobat 9.

I enabled the document for commenting and analysis in reader, with no luck.
Is this something I need done with Javascript.

Thank you

Acrobat Standard 9.1, Macintosh

It doesn't look like it's possible.

I have a PDF working correctly. I attached another 1 page PDF and created a link for opening it.

I have defined the first PDF to open in full screen. Using Acrobar Reader 9.3, I open the "father PDF" and when I open the linked PDF, it also opens in full screen. Then my questions:

1.- Is there any way to go back to the "father" PDF directly (closing the linked one)?

2.- If I press ESC to go out of full screen of the linked PDF for being able to close it, I also go out of full screen in the "father" one. Is there any way to go out of full screen of the linked document or close the linked document maintaining the full screen of the "father" one?

3.- The third option I could use is to open the linked document in non-full screen mode, maintaining the full screen of the "father" one?

Full screen kills the menu and toolbars, so you will need to add a link or other item to the PDF to go back to the first PDF. You also might be able to use the previous view.

The keystroke is 'Alt + Left Arrow'.
