Prevent ESC Key From Quitting Full-Screen (Kiosk) Mode

SUMMARY: Prevent an accidental press of the ESC key from closing your full-screen PDF viewing in Adobe Reader 7.

When viewing PDF files in Adobe Reader 7's full-screen, or kiosk, mode (press CONTROL-L), your system may be configured to quit this mode when someone presses the ESC key.

In some circumstances you may not want this key to function this way; perhaps you are concerned someone might accidentally hit the ESC key by accident. By performing the below tweak, you must press CONTROL-L a second time to exit full-screen (kiosk) mode.

1. From Adobe Reader 7 select "Edit" - "Preferences".

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

3. Uncheck "Escape key exits".

4. Click "OK" to save your settings.
