Create an auto-run PDF.
In technical terms, any multipage Portable Document Format, or PDF, document is an e-book. In fact, PDFs were the original e-books -- long before e-books became so popular on the Internet. Auto-run PDFs display in full screen-mode, without displaying Acrobat Reader's menu bar and scrollbars, and they advance from page to page automatically. You can create auto-run PDFs with Acrobat Pro. You can also set animated transitions in your auto-run PDFs, as well as configure them to open in Acrobat Reader's full-screen, auto-run mode.
Instructions
Set a PDF to Auto-Run
1. Open the PDF you want to set to auto-run in Acrobat Pro: Click the "File" menu and choose "Open" to display the Open dialog box. Navigate to the PDF, select it, and then click the "Open" button.
2. Click the "Edit" menu and choose "Preferences." This opens the Preferences dialog box for the current PDF. On a Mac, Preferences is on the Acrobat menu.
3. Select "Full Screen" in the Categories list. This displays full-screen options for the current PDF.
4. Click the check box next to "Advanced Every" to select it, and then type the number of seconds you want each page to display in the "Seconds" field. For example, if you want each page to display for 10 seconds, type "10" in this field. You should allow enough time for the user to read the page.
5. Click the "Default Transitions" drop-down menu and choose a transition type. Acrobat supports 10, common transition types, such as fade, wipe, zoom in and zoom out.
6. Click "OK."
Set a PDF to Open in Full-Screen Mode
7. Click the "File" menu and choose "Properties" to display the Document Properties dialog box.
8. Click the "Initial View" tab. This displays the options for controlling how PDFs open in Acrobat Reader.
9. Click the "Navigation Tab" drop-down and choose "Page Only," and then click the check box beside "Open Full-Screen Mode."
10. Click "OK."
