Is there a way to prepare a PDF file so that it shows up in full-screen mode with automatic page transitions through the Adobe Reader 8 ActicveX? or at least the Adobe Reader 8 within the browser window?
 
If not is there a chance to use a java script to trigger the page transition (goto next page ...)?
 
Starting into the full-screen mode is not the point, only moving to the next page without user interaction makes me scratching my head.
 
Thanks for looking into this.

Yes, there are two ways to do this and depending on what you want you may have to use both.

First, goto the "Initial View" tab in the document's properties dialog and set FullScreen as the intial view.

Next, to control the full screen parameters you'll need to write some JavaScript. Look up the FullScreen Object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Everything in there for doing a timed slide show. Set this up in a document script.

If you what fancy transitions between slides, you set this from the menu Item

Acrobat 8:
Advanced - Document Processing - Page Transitions

Acrobat 7:
