Continuous Slide show in Acrobat

[Lukas Engqvist]

Can someone help me find the command to make a slideshow restart after last page. Page transisions are no problem but when i come to the last page I want the show to start again. I know I have done it once a long time ago.

Document>Preferences>Full Screen>Loop after last page.

Yes I got that, only it means configuring the computer that the slide show is displayed on. In this case it is the simplest way. What I was looking for was an "on exit" script that would mean the slideshow would loop on any computer, but it's not worth the effort, I go with the preferences method, since it also works in any reader.

I was under the impression that once you have changed the Initial View to Full Screen on Open that when you save it it would save the preference for looping, as a document prefernence not a application preference, perhaps I'm was mistaken?

I have never found a easy way to do it (may be I have just been too lazy to try...:) )

I have two work-arounds:

1. Make one extra page at the end of dokument. Use a page-action "go to page 1" and put it to second last page with trigger page closed. Then every time your slide show is about to go that last extra page, it will go to page 1 instead...

2. Make a PDF -slideshow from Photoshop or Bridge. Turn looping on. Open it in Acrobat and go to Javascript-editor (Advanced>Document Processing>Edit All javascript) and copy/paste javascrpt that Br/PHS has been created to your final slideshow. This method can be a tricky one sometimes... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t or you have to at least modificate a code somehow...

EDIT:

I found easier way:

Put couple of line javascript to your documents first page page-action with trigger page open:

app.fs.isFullScreen = true;
app.fs.loop = true;

That seems to do the trick pretty nicely...
