Can I show PDF in fullscreen mode and click for presentation

[btx]

I use PDF file for Presentation and want to show it on fullscreen mode. But I can't left click for next page, right click for previous page, or scroll for zoom (or other way like this). May I can config these setting in this software?

Thank you.

Hello BTX,

with the default settings you could use the mouse wheel to scroll the pages in your PDF, or you could change the default shortcut keys for the previous page and next page commands in our Viewer - just like almost any other command in the Viewer.

Have a look at this knowledge base article to see how this is done:
How do I create custom short cut keys for tool bar commands

Best,
Stefan

Thank you very much for your answer and sorry that I posted wrong place (I mistake from not very well English ). I have needed left & right click because I may use some remote control in presentation, to control the page, that support only mouse click simulation (have not another buttons). I look in that page yet, but it can only change keyboard shortcut (not available for mouse control). And I think this may be problem with another one that do like me.

If can't be done in this version may be in the future I can choose presentation mode (that left-right click can be used) related with hand tool or another mode in fullscreen (I found in Foxit Reader Software but I like PDFXChange more).

Hello, BTX.

We can add the new feature like as:
Edit/Preferences/Full Screen tab:
[checkbox] Enable controlling by mouse.
It can means:
1. left/right mouse click to previous/next page
2. mouse-scroll to re-zoom
3. left double-click to exit from full screen
BUT in this mode all pdf-tools and context menus will be disabled.

This feature can be added into the next build. Please wait.

Best
Regards.

Thank you very much. I will really wait for that version and must thanks for immediatly response from your team.

my opinion of the limitation that you tell me, may be fixed by
- Using right click for context menu (that included button: back, next, tool1, tool2,..., Exit Fullscreen - like MS PowerPoint) but may not be convenience in some cases (I think) or
- Using hidden menu (in top, bottom, left, right of screen that will show OnMouseOver event) that can change click-show mode with other tools.

Sorry again with my grammar.

Our pleasure btx,

And no worries about your grammar - English is not the native language for some of us as well

Cheers,
Stefan

Implemented in build 50, but not quite as stated. Context menus are not disabled.
Left click goes to next page, ctrl left click goes to previous page, right click shows context menu.
Scroll wheel scrolls and zooms (with ctrl) as usual.

you have a keen eye Bhikkhu,

still, I think it's a nice feature...

I have mixed feelings about it. Though it is perhaps useful to some users, Adobe Reader uses RBM to scroll back through the presentation, which is more intuitive and will appeal to those using this mode for presentations. If you're making a presentation, you don't really want a context menu obscuring it. If users want some other functions in Fullscreen mode it is possible to display a toolbar at the bottom or side of the window, which won't get in the way of the presentation.

IrfanView does something similar in Fullscreen mode — I don't know about PowerPoint, but that's the behaviour that nearly everyone will be used to so you should follow whatever that does IMO.

Ctrl Click goes back in PDF-XChange, while Shift Click goes back in Adobe Reader. That could be changed to match too.
