Presenting PDF Documents with PDF Annotator

To present slide shows prepared in the PDF format, use Full Screen Mode.

Using the Laser Pointer

Use the Laser Pointer tool as a pointing device during presentations. The laser pointer is a large red circle that can easily be located even from a distance.

Choose Tool Laser Pointer to activate this tool.

Alternatively, press the O key to switch to the laser pointer. Pressing the Esc key will get you back to the previously used tool.

In Full Screen Mode, the laser pointer is by default available as an Action Button.

You can even draw with the Laser Pointer, for example to highlight or circle something. But once you lift the pen (or release the mouse button), what you drew will disappear. You can enable or disable this feature under Tool Tool Styles Show Trace. For permanent markup, use the Pen or Marker tools.
