I recently moved from acrobat pro v9 to the newest version of acrobat DC. I have a 30 page pdf I use for presentations where many pages include links to other pdfs. The 30 page pdf is set to open as full screen with the linked pdfs opening in a new window. When presenting this with v9, the primary document remained in full screen mode with the links opening in front of it. Unfortunately with DC, the primary document exits full screen mode whenever I click a liked document. This make for a very poor presentation. I'd appreciate any advice you may have on how to keep the document in full screen mode when accessing linked pdfs. Thank you.
Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.
I have tried to reproduce the issue on my end and it's working fine.
Please go to Edit (Win), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > preferences > General > Select 'Open documents as new tab in same window' > Click OK and reboot the application and check if that works.
Thank you Amal for the suggestion. I did not have that preference selected. I did have checked "open cross-document links in the same window" under Documents. I selected the option you recommended and tried it with the other preference both on and off. It continues to exit full-screen mode every time I open a linked document.
Might there be another preference setting that impacts this? I also wonder if this is a problem with my new laptop (apple 16 inch M1-max) and not acrobat. Thanks again and I appreciate any additional advice you may have.
