I have created a document in InDesign at 1024 x 768 pixels but when viewing in Acrobat pro although it states the document is 1024 x 768 the actual view on screen is about 60% larger. I have heard its because acrobat deosnt support pixel dimensions? So the actual view would appear much larger on screen.
What I want is to display my 1024 x 768 document in full screen mode but to be actual size and the remaing area of the screen to be blacked out.
How can i do this?
Thanks!
In full screen mode (Ctrl-L) you can zoom to a nominal 100% *physical* scale by pressing Ctrl-1, though it will depend on the above as to what you'll actually get. Even an 8"x10" page won't ever be exactly 8"x10" as Windows can only specify the physical scale of a monitor in percentage increments. Users who need to measure direct from screen have to work with specially-configured hardware and software.
InDesign supports the concept of pixel-based document sizes for "interactive" layouts - this is solely intended for export to web formats - SWF, HTML, etc. - not to PDF. InDesign will of course allow you to export to PDF from pixel-based layouts but will apply a default conversion scale, without caring what the physical size of your monitor is.
