Trying to size the share pod correctly

[unMess]

Hello! My company is thinking of switching to Adobe Connect for our presentations.

I am currently trying to setup an example presentation and am learning the platform. I keep running into some major frustration with the lack of sizing options for the various pods (specifically the share pod).

I have a Share Pod setup and am attempting to share a .pdf file. I can't seem to find anyway to directly input a pixel dimension for the pods, and would like to size the pod exactly to the dimensions of my pdf. I have tried using the "fit to page" and "fit width" buttons and while they seem to function correctly I am still left with grey bars outside of the pages. Furthermore, I cannot seem to get the pod to correctly display only one page at a time, the top of the next page is always visible no matter what I do.

I am curious if there is A. a setting when I am creating my pdf's (I am using Illustrator, InDesign, & Acrobat) to ensure that only one page is displayed at a time, or B. if there is a settings menu I am missing somewhere in Adobe Connect that can help me solve this problem.

alternatively, I have been trying to use PowerPoint presentations instead, these correctly display only one slide at a time, however there is no way to fit the size of the Share Pod to the presentation size.

This is really turning me off of the platform already and I'm hoping there is something big that I am missing.

Thank you!

There is no way to put in a pixle dimention of the share pod because it scales to fit whatever screen real estate it is given. So the shape of the Share pod should be the same on all user's screens, but the size will vary based on the users' resolution, if they are using the add-in and if the room is set to show on the entire monitor or not.

There will always be a black/gray area around the PDF slides, there isn't much to do about that, but one trick I have used is to turn on the white board overlay on a PDF (the Draw button on the share pod) and then it will display only one page at a time. you cna use the next/previous button to go back and forth between the pages, and then you can also draw on them if you want.
