Color Calibration

I see that Acrobat handles Photoshop like color management for pdfs created with images and icc profiles. Does Adobe reader do the same and manage color correctly?

My Product Information:
Reader 7, Windows

Use the Review Tracker in Acrobat 8 for tracking reviews. Select the PDF sent for review in the Review Tracker and a summary page opens that lists shared reviewers comments.

On Windows it's quite easy. Open the Full Screen Preferences (Ctrl + K and click Full Screen in the left pane). Check the box for Advance Every and add the interval to the text box. Add transition effects if you like in the Preferences. Uncheck that annoying Alert when document requests full screen checkbox and save the file. Open the Document Properties (Ctrl + D) and click Initial Veiw. Check the box for Open in Full Screen Mode. Save the file and reopen it and the pages scroll much like creating a PDF Presentaiton from Photoshop or Adobe Bridge.

On the Mac, it's a problem. Problems exist with Adobe and Apple's QuickTime (especially QuickTime 7.1.3 and grerater). Flash files won't play within PDFs in Acrobat 8 viewers due to problems with QuickTime and Acrobat 8 viewers won't show slide shows either edited with Full Screen prefs or when viewing PDF Presentations from Photoshop or Bridge. Look for a maintenance upgrade from Adobe to fix these problems on the Mac with Acrobat 8.

well for some reason the above message got posted here. Ignore it.

No, Reader doesn't have Color Management prefs like Acrobat and no Advanced Print Options like Acrobat. If working in a color managed workflow you need Acrobat Professional.
