Portfolio cover page shows up for 4 seconds - Any way to control the time?

Hello folks,

When opening a PDF portfolio, its cover page shows up for 4 seconds and then disappears. Is there any way to control the time during which the cover page appears on the screen, possibly with JS? The time is defined somewhere, I just can't figure out where it's defined.

Thank you for your input in advance!

I'd need access to the PDF in question to know for sure but the timing could be located in any number of places. It might be hard coded into the layout or it could be a property that is adjustable inside the .NAV file.

Hi Joel,

I appreciate your response! I actually tested your sample TreeView with preview skin. The test portfolio uses it.

How is the timing defined in it? And how is it defined in the default acrobat skins?

Thanks again,

Roman

Thanks Joel for your explanations!

I still wonder why the cover page shows up and whether its appearance time can be controlled. AFAIK, the cover page shouldn't be displayed in Acrobat.

Thanks!    


Roman:

The cover page will display until the navigator is loaded. With the Adobe built-in layouts, that's almost immediately. With the ones I wrote, that can take some time. I never saw them on my machine but I have a really fast Mac with lots and lots of memory.
