Hi All

We are authoring an Acrobat 6 only doc on the PC which will play back full
screen and during testing have struck some peculiar behaviour from XP > OSX

1)
When opened on the Mac in Acrobat 6 Pro we initially had no cursor, the
document auto advanced every 5 seconds and the page advance by mouse click
was disabled. I found those items in the Acrobat Preferences (not the
document prefs) and adjusted them accordingly. But I do not recall ever
explicitly modifying them, so my question (yes there is one) What are the
default Preferences in this regard for both Reader and Acrobat under OSX?

What I found for Preferences>Full Screen in each app was:

Acrobat 6 Pro:
'Advance every 5 seconds' ticked
Mouse cursor set to 'Always Hidden'
'Left Click to go forward one page etc' ticked


Reader 6.0
'Advance every 5 seconds' unticked
Mouse cursor set to 'Hidden After Delay'
'Left Click to go forward one page etc' unticked

2) 
In the first page there is a small Quicktime movie inserted into the bottom
LH corner of the page via In Design where we authored the document. The
movie autoplays via a page enter command. This movie is intended to play
only on the first page and not an any others. Under XP the PDF displays this
correctly, but under OSX the movie appears on all the subsequent pages while
in Full Screen mode.

In OSX, if you exit full screen mode (CMD+L) the movie 'overlay' disappears
on those pages it is not supposed to be on.  But if you invoke Full Screen
mode again on any page the movie wrongly reappears.

If we add an action to the first page such that 'On page exit stop playing
movie', then the problem goes away but why is this behaviour different
between Mac and PC ?

Finally, On XP as soon as the doc opens viewers can use the Page Down key
(or click anywhere)  to advance, but under OSX the Page Down key does not
work. Any ideas why this is so ?


Sample file containing the first two pages of this manual are here if anyone
can be bothered to look ! ;-) 2.8Mb Zip file. Acrobat 6 required.
