I'd like to use Acrobat Reader as a display device, and show it in full-screen mode with auto cycling through the pages.This works great when I start it with a mouse and then do a ^L. I'd like to have it restart after a power-failure right into full-screen mode, but can't seem to find out if there's a command-line switch for that. If anybody has any suggestions, it would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks, Eric T.

You can edit the PDF's document properties to set the "Full Screen" at open (Acrobat Standard or Professional), and then use JavaScript to to set the time delay for auto advance, using the timer, disable the "escape exits", and disable the "mouse click" advances (Acrobat Professional).

One needs Acrobat Professional to set the doucment level JavaScript to perform these tasks.

Thank you, but I'd like to use Acrobat Reader (not Standard or Professional).

New to Acrobat 9 Pro. Want to post a pdf, multiple pages, on web and have it open in full screen, mouse click R up and L down. I check "open in full screen" and close the window, save the file, but nothing changes. Opens in regular mode and the properties option is back to unchecked. How do I save the preference "open in full screen"?
