Is it possible to disable click to advance in Full screen mode? I'm reasonably confident with Acrobat but feel this might only be possible via Javascript. We are producing more and more full screen interactve PDFs where we don't want users to inadvertantly click on the screen and lose their way in the document. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

rather than creating a new thread, i thought i'd add to this one...
is it possible using javascript to disable the page advance on a selection of slides rather than the whole document?
thanks in advance.

Control for advancing pages on mouse clicks is set in the Full Screen Preferences. This is individually controlled by each user.If you want to disable mouse clicks to advance pages regardless of a given user's settings, you need to add a JavaScript to your file. Here's how to do it:
Select Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts.Add a name in the JavaScript Functions dialog and click Add.
Delete the default text and enter the following code:
app.fs.clickAdvances = false;
Best of luck,

I'm surprised but then not surprised that this is a user-only feature. I would've thought that with the way acrobat is being used more for interactive presentations that they would create a special section for this sort of thing.
I attempted to create a button in the background of my ID3 document to counter the auto click effect but unfortunately it killed all buttons on the page. This script worked perfectly.

No, it's not. The API currently does not have an object linked to the wheel events for normal (2D) pages, only for the events triggered during navigation in a 3D scene.
