Looping PDF Slideshow

I found the rather buried secret of looping PDF slideshows. Here is the article where I found the information:

How to Create Slide Shows and Self-running Kiosks in Acrobat


The main points of interest are:

Looping
Open the Preferences dialog box (Control + K) and click on Full Screen in the left pane. In the right pane, check “Loop after last page.” Tricky to locate – thanks, Adobe!
Transitions and Page AdvanceTransitions can be applied from the Preferences dialog box, too (if you are applying one effect on all pages – page-level transitions need to be added from the Transitions menu). To have the slideshow advance automatically, just select a time delay.

Open PDF in Full Screen Mode
To have the file begin playing the slideshow when opened, select the Document Properties dialog box (Control + D) and click Initial View. Then select Full Screen.
