Can't make forms display full screen

Hi DBar,

I'm not sure I understand what you've tried as far as "settings" go. With the PDF open, did you go to File ->Properties, and check Open in Full Screen in the Windows Option section, and check Hide Menu Bar, Hide Toolbars, and Hide Window Controls in the User Interface Options section, and it does not work for you? Or have you not tried those things yet?Hope this helps,

Thanks for getting back to me Dimitri,

When I open the form in Acrobat Pro and click on File | Properties then on the Initial View tab, I see under Window Options that there is a full screen mode option among other things, but everything on this tab is disabled. The same thing happens when I try to set one of the sample forms that come with LC Designer to display full screen. The strange thing is that when I load a form that I created with Foxit Form Designer (an add on for Foxit Reader) the options on the tab are available.

Hi DBar,

Sorry, I forgot to look at your product information. You cannot set the full screen option in Acrobat for a LiveCycle Designer form. You can only do that for a form created in Acrobat, commonly referred to as an AcroForm. The two are completely separate forms technologies and not interchangeable. If you need to edit or make changes to a form you created in LiveCycle Designer you must go back into the LiveCycle Designer program not Acrobat and visa versa.

To set a LiveCycle Designer PDF to open in fullscreen, in the top of the hierarchy window for the form add the following line of code to the docReady event- make sure to set the Language to JavaScript-

app.fs.isFullScreen=true

I don't know at the moment how to turn off the menus and toolbars, not sure if you can for an LCD form.

Hope this helps,
