User Guide
Note:
If you hide the menu bar and toolbars, users cannot apply commands and select tools unless they know the
keyboard shortcuts. You may want to set up page actions that temporarily hide interface controls while the page is in
view. (See “Add actions with page thumbnails” on page 261.)
Add page transitions
You can create an interesting effect that occurs each time a page advances by using page transitions.
1
Do one of the following:
•
Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Page Transitions.
•
In the Pages panel, select the page thumbnails you want to apply transitions to, and choose Page Transitions from
the Options menu.
2
In the Set Transitions dialog box, choose a transition effect from the Transition menu. These transition effects are
the same as those set in the Full Screen preferences.
3
Choose the direction in which the transition effect occurs. Available options depend on the transition.
4
Choose the speed of the transition effect.
5
Select Auto Flip, and enter the number of seconds between automatic page turning. If you do not select this
option, the user turns pages using keyboard commands or the mouse.
6
Select the Page Range you want to apply transitions to.
Note:
If users select Ignore All Transitions in the Full Screen preferences, they do not see the page transitions.
Document properties and metadata

When you view a PDF, you can get information about it, such as the title, the fonts used, and security settings. Some
of this information is set by the person who created the document, and some is generated automatically.
You can change any information that can be set by the document creator, unless the file has been saved with security
settings that prevent changes.

Choose File > Properties.

Click a tab in the Document Properties dialog box.

Document Properties
Description
Shows basic information about the document. The title, author, subject, and keywords may have been
set by the person who created the document in the source application, such as Word or InDesign, or by the person
who created the PDF. You can search for these description items in Acrobat to find particular documents. The
Keywords section can be particularly useful for narrowing searches.
