Hello,

Is there a way to use the Draw free form tool in full screen? You could in 11 but it appears you can't in DC. We have faculty members who export their presentations to PDF and then teach classes using Acrobat in full screen, similar to powerpoint. The loss of ability to annotate slides would be very disappointing.

The solution is hilarious. Press something 7 times without knowing how far you are? Are you kidding me?

I'm presenting before 120 students in an hour and you want me to give this a try each time I switch between my beamer pdf slides and a software demonstration. Prepare for the blooper youtube videos.

And in addition. I cannot escape full screen anymore after I pressed D and shift-D 7 times.

That's great - been searching for this answer a long while! Is there a way to "see" the specific tool you are using after pressing "D"? A way to keep the quick action toolbar at the top even in fullscreen mode?

Thanks,

Alex
