One can use Acrobat JavaScirpt to change the viewing mode to full screen by setting the 'app' object's 'fs' property to 'true' and then use the 'FullScreen' object to control the properties of the full screen display. One can also use Acrobat JavaScirpt to show or hide a form field by changing the value of 'display' property of the 'field' object.

More information about using Acrobat JavaScript in the tutorials and eSeminar's on demand on this site.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Javascript! One of our suppliers will do the job this time. It would be good to learn at least the basics of Javascript for the future: know any good tutorials on the site?
