To exit full-screen mode, press Control-L (Windows) or Command-L (Mac).

CLOSE AND RESTART Dreamweaver worked on my MAC!

The myriad of other solutions didn't work; I appreciate the suggestions.

  3. Manage properties with keybord usin tab 
  4. Video tab under preference (last one)

What others said "f" works but on the Mac platform Adobe should be aware that this is non standard UI behavior and against Apple's UI guidelines for display. ESC should be able to exit from this but doesn't. Sometimes Adobe implements change for the sake of change - real bad process.

This didn't work when I tried it. I know this answer may be old, but, I can't resize the window no matter what I try, can you please give me some kind of update answer?

 

Thanks!

For Mac Users: If you are actively editing the PDF, the shortcuts don't work. ) :  

After I hit "Close" in the upper right and closed active work on the document, the ESC shortcut worked.

Hope that's helpful to at least some Mac users.

None of the suggestions mentioned in this post works for me. I'm afraid I'm forever stuck in full screen mode 🤪

Also none of the standard Mac OS ways to exit full screen is working. The app is absolutely deaf for any keyboard command and a sensible menu option is lacking. What are these Adobe guys doing ?? Ignoring any defaults ??

Does anybody have a suggestion to exit full screen mode in Creative Cloud ?

I had the same problem not being able to turn off full screen covering up the menu bar. I have two monitors, so I just switched the menu bar to the other monitor in displays and the full screen didn't come up so I could switch it off in the Playback Preferences. Whew! Definitely need a toggle switch for that one!
