Presentation Mode

The Presentation mode represents another way to view documents in Okular. It can be enabled in ViewPresentation. It shows the document on a page per page basis. The pages are shown with zoom to page, that means all the page is visible.

PDF documents can even specify that they are always opened in presentation mode.

When in presentation mode, you have an helper bar located on the top of the screen. Just move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen to make it appear.
