Embed PDF Files - Powerpoint Presentation

[Guest]

How can pdf files embedded in a powerpoint presentation, web view slide show,
be visible - open in full screen display instead of showing the tool bars on
the presentation screen?

I am using insert web page to embed the pdf files in the powerpoint document.

Thanks.

Try changing the PDF's document properties to display full page and hide the
toolbar, menubar etc. This doesn't seem to work with inserted objects but it
does if you hyperlink to the file. But ...

I am using insert web page to embed the pdf files in the powerpoint document.

Where do you find "insert web page"? And since PDFs aren't web pages, I'd guess
that there's another step or two to this that you haven't described?

Steve,

I used a LiveWeb add-in. Select insert - Web Pages - entered the address of
the network location of the pdf file. When the powerpoint presentation is
opened the pdf file contents are not visible. Select - Slide Show - View
Show - and the pdf file opens using the Acrobat Reader. The Acrobat Reader
tool bar shows up on the presentation.

You're not looking at a PDF embedded in a presentation, then.
You've got a PDF in a web page viewed in a browser within your presentation.
It's the interaction of MSIE and the PDF plug-in that control the appearance of
the toolbars and such. I'm not sure that you *can* make the toolbars invisible in
this situation, but have you tried my suggestions re document properties?
