Powerpoint is not a design application

That is a good link, thanks for that. I can see it being another useful page to bookmark but it didn't really answer my question.

From talking to other people on other forums (not as good as this one) I'm getting the feeling that Javascript is involved...

sorry to sound like a lazy git, but if anyone has the exact script that will fix this problem - please let me know so i can just copy and paste it into the documents javascript editor.

Thanks!

Javascript IS involved, and here is the solution:

1. Go to: Advanced>Document Processing>Document Java Scripts
2. Type a name for your script in the Script Name field
3. Click Add, which will open the Javascript editor
4. Delete the default text that appears in the editor window
5. Type the following: app.fs.clickAdvances=false;
6. Click OK to close the editor window
7. Click Close to close the Functions dialog box
8. Save your PDF file
9. Enjoy

cheers for your help people, i just don't know what i would do without you sometimes... :-)

meanwhile- here are some other java script coding i managed to get from another forum (not as good as this one)

could be helpful to anyone who has to use PDF's as presentation tool. It's all new stuff to me, but shows the capabilities of Acrobat i guess- nice!

// Document Level JavaScript to configure and start full screen mode
if ( this.external == false ) {
// can only run if not within another application like a web browser
// app.fs.backgroundColor = color.ltGray; // set background color
app.fs.clickAdvances = false; // mouse click advances
app.fs.cursor = cursor.invisible; // show cursor
// app.fs.defaultTransition = "WipeDown";
app.fs.escapeExits = true; // escape exits
app.fs.loop = false; // do not loop
// app.fs.timeDelay = 5;// delay 5 seconds
// app.fs.useTimer = true;// activate automatic page turning
// app.fs.usePageTiming = true;// allow page override
app.fs.isFullScreen = true; // go to full screen view
}
