viewing interactive pdf - page jump at touch on screen - SMART board issue?

Is there a way to disable the page advance when you touch the screen in viewing interactive pdfs?

 

Adobe Acrobat Pro X v. 10.1.3

 

In both reading and full screen mode, I have navigation links and url links which work fine.

 

But when I "touch" the screen off of any of these live areas with my cursor, the page jumps to the next one.

I could avoid this but am worrying about my clients who will be using this on a SMART board.

 

I am anticipating this as a problem when viewing on a SMART board (I dont have access to one) where the teacher is pointing to something on the page, and it would jump unexpectedly to the next, or when using the SMART screen writing tool, it might jump.

 

Anyone?

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

    Nothing you can do in the PDF itself, but on the preferences dialog for Acrobat/Reader, under Full Screen you need them to turn off the "Left click to go forward one page..." option.

    Perfect. That is it. Thanks. It really makes a nice presentation and prints out well too.
