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 ?
