Is it possible to start Impressive with a link from another program, e.g. Freeplan http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/ ?

I would like to try to make a presentation in a more interactive way. A mindmap gives the big picture. Clicking on a link would start a short “slideshow”, e.g. 1, 2 or 3 slides. Then back to the mindmap.

Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll try to make them work for me. I think I need to learn more about Adobe and their value and then perhaps I’ll be more tolerant of the problems I encounter with them.

@ Hitendra: this program does more than simply present pages full screen. It provides an entirely new viewing experience much better suited to giving (or reading) PDFs as presentations (e.g. effects and transitions between slides, spot-lighting and highlighting tools, and a really cool slide overview screen that can be very useful in an actual presentation situation).

Moreover using “Impressive” with the command line can give you a lot more control over how your PDF is displayed.

This looks like a great tool to highlight areas of a document you are working with. Ie. during a web ex conference!

Though Crtl L was a nifty thing to learn about from the comments above.

Press Ctrl-L in Adobe Reader and it works like Powerpoint in slideshow mode – why would I need one more piece of software for this?
