Read PDFs in Full Screen - Kiosk Mode

SUMMARY: Display PDF files in Adobe Reader 7.0 in kiosk mode, using your full screen.

Would you like to view PDF documents in Adobe Reader 7.0 in full-screen mode (sometimes called kiosk mode), showing more of an individual page onscreen without scrollbars, toolbars, the Windows taskbar, and the like? If you have a large enough monitor or a monitor with a high-enough resolution, you can read entire PDF pages onscreen.

To enable this feature, choose "View" - "Full Screen" or press "CONTROL L". Use your cursor or PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN keys to scroll through the PDF.

When you are done with full-screen mode, press the ESC key.
