Question

Full Screen and Windows Screen Saver

Hi community!

 

I have a question about using a PDF in full-screen mode for an all-day event. The PDF is interactive, buttons, videos, etc. and it's being shown on a large touchscreen panel. The screen will be sitting in a reception area, but I don't want the screen to burn-in.

 

I assumed that the Windows screensaver would kick on and save my monitor, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can either force Windows to switch on the screen saver or some javascript I can add to the PDF to enable this? Or any other suggestions....? I can't burn-in this $5k panel.

 

Help!!

You won't burn in an LED panel in a day.

Yeah I get what you're saying, but it's not overly helpful to solve my problem because the screen would probably not be turned off, so presumably, it'll be on all day for a couple of weeks.

 

I'll just stick with my workaround in the meantime.

I came up with one solution - I've put the PDF to auto-advance to the next page after 5 minutes. Needed to change the content and flow, but that might solve the burn-in issue for now.

 

Still open to a better solution if anyone has one?
