PDF SLIDESHOW TRANSITIONS

[Chuck Snyder]

Howard, when you open up PDF slideshow, do you not have a box at the bottom
of the display labeled Transition? That's where you should be able to go to
get a dropdown box with 18 (if I counted right) choices. Is that missing or
inactive on yours? I've used it, although a couple times I've selected what
I thought would be a nice transition and I didn't like it when I saw it on
the screen; unfortunately, at that point, you have to start over at the
beginning, back to selecting files, organizing them, etc.

Good morning, Howard: Hmmm.... It might be time to try the Delete
Preferences routine; have you done that yet? It's often the cure for
aberrant behavior by Elements... Chuck

Howard,

If you are viewing your slideshows on OSX using Acrobat 5 reader, there is a bug in Acrobat that prevents it from recongizing the transitions. Try upgrading to the free Adobe Reader 6.0. That should solve the problem.

Rich, thanks for the advice on Acrobat Reader 6.0. I downloaded it a couple
weeks ago and it really runs well on my aging PC; definite upgrade from 5!

Hi, the suggestion for using Acrobat Reader 6.0 worked on my Macintosh! Running OS 10.6.2 Thanks

Where? to find the Acrobat rader 6 ??
Is there any reason why I should NOT download it and start using the "6" instead of the "5"?

Here, Marty, it's available from Adobe for free.

And, no, there is no reason why you shouldn't upgrade. Just remember you want the Reader, not the full program! :)
