Add Animated Transition Effects in Full-Screen Mode

SUMMARY: Add blinds, dissolves, and glittering effects when switching between pages of a PDF document in full-screen mode with Adobe Reader 7.

When viewing PDF documents with Adobe Reader 7 in full-screen mode, normally when you switch from page to page, the new page merely replaces the old page onscreen. However, if you find this boring, you can add animated transition effects when switching between pages, such as:

* Blinds
* Box
* Cover
* Dissolve
* Fade
* Glitter
* Push
* Replace
* Split
* Cover
* Wipe

You can also have Adobe Reader 7 choose a random transition effect every time you switch pages.

To perform this tweak:

1. Click "Edit" - "Preferences".

2. When the "Preferences" dialog box appears, select "Full Screen" in the left pane.

3. In the right pane, make sure "Ignore all transitions" is unchecked.

4. Next to "Default transition", choose your transition animation or select "Random" for all kinds of effects.

5. When done, press "OK" to save your settings.
