Hello,

My daughter has to present her end-of-studies thesis tomorrow. She is facing the following question: she has a PDF slide presentation (about 100 slides) and she would like to use the Mac remote to navigate through her slides without having to touch her MacBook keyboard!
I've tried everything but the remote works with a PowerPoint slide, but not with Preview or Adobe Reader for her PDF slides!!
Can someone help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Didier

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) / Firefox 21.0

    The only solution would be to launch the original slideshow (with Keynote). Or to use the ARROW keys.

      thank you! I thought that was the only solution! it's too bad that Mac OS doesn't manage this function in "preview"!!

    It's mainly that in general, nobody does it.
    You can always export the presentation as a movie. QuickTime recognizes the slides and thus allows you to use the remote or the ENTER key.
