Acrobat 8/Adobe Reader 8 has a "pseudo-fullscren mode" while in the browser. Press Ctrl+L and the hand cursor has an up arrow on. By clicking on the mouse you get a fullscreen navigation control. My question is, is there a way of detecting this pseudo-fullscreen mode using JavaScript while in the browser? I can do it if the document has sub-page navigation (section 8.3.3 in PDF Ref), otherwise, I cannot. dps

Hello DP,
I've looked around and can't find any properties or methods that would detect this pseudo-FS mode. At least not directly. Other than searching for undocumented functionality, which I don't think would turn up anything, you could try compareing the various viewer/app rectangles. I've created a view params test doc that might be of some assitance.
