This tutorial shows how to add page transitions in Adobe Acrobat.
Hello, my name is Erin.
Page transitions are visual effects that appear between pages when a PDF is viewed in Full Screen mode.
Today we are going to look at how to add transitions to the entire PDF or consecutive pages within the PDF.
Then, we will look at how to add transitions to nonconsecutive pages.
Finally, we will look at how to view page transitions in Full Screen mode.
I will be using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
These steps also apply to Adobe Acrobat 2020 and Adobe Acrobat 2017.
In addition, the steps are the same for PC and Mac.
These steps don’t apply to Adobe’s free PDF display software, Acrobat Reader.
However, transitions added with Adobe Acrobat can be viewed with Acrobat Reader.
To add page transitions to an entire PDF or consecutive pages within a PDF,
begin by selecting the Tools tab.
Next, select Organize Pages in the Tools Center.
And then select More in the Organize Pages toolbar.
Followed by Page Transitions in the drop-down menu.
When the Page Transitions dialog box appears, select one of the sixteen effects in the Transition menu.
Next, select a direction from the Direction menu.
Note that the direction options vary by transition and some transitions don’t have direction options.
You can also select Fast, Medium, or Slow from the Speed menu.
If you want the pages to turn automatically while in Full Screen mode, select Auto Flip.
And then enter the number of seconds each page should be visible before turning to the next page.
Now, select Page range and then enter a range into the From and To text boxes.
If you choose not to do this, the default is All pages in document.
Finally, select the OK button.
And then select Close in the Organize Pages toolbar.
To add page transitions to nonconsecutive pages within a PDF,
select the Tools tab.
Followed by Organize Pages in the Tools Center.
From here you can select Even Pages, Odd Pages, Landscape Pages, Portrait Pages, or All Pages from the drop-down menu.
Or, use the page thumbnails to make your selection.
To select multiple pages, select the first one
and then press and hold the Shift key as you select the last one.
To select nonconsecutive pages, select the first page
and then press and hold the Ctrl key on a PC or Command key on a Mac as you select additional pages.
You can also click and drag your mouse to select multiple pages at once.
In addition, PC users can select Enable multiple page selection to select multiple consecutive or nonconsecutive pages
without using the Shift or Ctrl key.
Next, right-click the selection on a PC or Control-click the selection on a Mac
and then select Page Transitions from the shortcut menu.
Once again select an effect from the Transition menu in the Page Transitions dialog box.
And then make other choices such as direction,
Speed,
And Auto Flip
When you are finished, select the OK button.
Followed by the Close button.
Now that you have added your page transitions, you can view them in action by closing any open toolbars.
And then selecting the View menu.
And Full Screen Mode from the drop-down menu.
Your PDF should open in Full Screen mode immediately.
If you chose Auto Flip in the Page Transitions dialog box, the pages will turn with the transitions automatically.
Otherwise, your transitions should appear as you use your mouse,
trackpad, or arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the pages.
