Show Navigation Bar in Full Screen Mode For New Users

SUMMARY: Help users new to Adobe Reader 7.0 to more easily navigate PDF documents in kiosk mode.

Setting up a machine with Adobe Reader 7.0? To help new users take advantage of the full-screen (kiosk) mode they can access via "View" - "Full Screen", you can optionally show a navigation bar. It will contain three icons - one to go backward through the PDF, one to go forward, and one to exit full-screen mode. New users might prefer navigating PDF files using these icons rather than with mouse buttons or cursor keys.

1. Click "Edit" - "Preferences".
2. When the "Preferences" dialog appears, click "Full Screen" in the left pane.
3. In the right pane, check "Show navigation bar".
4. Click "OK" to save your changes.
