Acrobat 9's handling of page thumbnails

Since upgrading to Acrobat 9, I've noticed that when I have page thumbnails displayed, I can only scroll down to the last full row of thumbnails. If I want to see a partial row, I have to:
1. Move up the bottom of the window.
2. Scroll down the thumbnail pane.
3. Manually drag down the overall Acrobat window.
Is there something I can do to fix this problem, or do I have to hope someone from Adobe recognizes this problem exists & that Adobe decides to fix it.

This is a bug of Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails

Re: Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails.
In Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac, it used to be that I could click on a single thumbnail page in the Pages Navigation Panel (the thumbnail image of that single page would turn blue), then shift-click on another page 3 pages down (with the first and last thumbnail image, along with the 2 thumbnail images in between turning blue), and then drag all 4 pages (i.e., the first and last pages clicked upon and the two pages in between) to another document.
Now, when I try that, only the last thumbnail image clicked upon turns and remains blue, and only that one page can be dragged.
Note 1: I'm using Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Note 2: I checked for this desired ability on a friend's PC running Acrobat X, and it worked fine.
Note 3: I completely reinstalled Acrobat 9.0 and updated it, and the feature described above still does not work.
So, what happened and how can I get this feature to work again?

This is a known bug with 9.4.5: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/865843?tstart=30
There's a good chance it will be fixed in a quarterly update that should be available within a month or two. In the mean time, you can update to just 9.4.4

Acrobat 9 Pro Watermarks showing on Page thumbnails

I am seeing an issue with Acrobat, that did not appear for us, prior to version 9.
We receive PDF files and add Security and Watermarks to them. The Watermarks are set to appear on all pages only when printed.
However, in Acrobat 9, the watermarks show on the Page thumbnails (which we do not want). They do not show on the actual pages when viewed on screen (which is correct) and the Watermark does appear when the page is printed (which is correct).
The original file is being supplied to us in an Acrobat 9 format. We are doing our work in Acrobat 9. We are not going backward in versions at any step. We have tried going to older versions of Acrobat to solve the problem, with no success. It appears that once the file is created or saved in Acrobat 9, this issue appears.
Why is the watermark appearing on the thumbnail in version 9, when pervious versions did not have this? Has anyone else encountered this, even with previous versions? Suggestions?

Hi,
Played with the PDF at the link's end.
Both the page magnification value and the page display setting affect what is viewed by a Bookmark.
Whatever these variables had set when you created the Bookmark from the newly created named destination
(or from selected page content) will determine what is displayed by the Bookmark.
For a given page display, the page magnification becomes the significant variable.
With that said, using a Named Destination will call for additional editing.
(neglected to mention this before )
Access a Bookmark's Properties.
Open the Actions tab.
Select the Action shown in the bottom 'window'.
I suspect you'll see a Page number where you expected a Named Destination.
Selecte Edit. Tick "Use Named Destination".
Click "Browse".
Select appropriate named destination from the list.
OK > OK > OK
Be well...

I have Acrobat XI and am trying to add pages to a pdf. Tutorials instruct me to use Tools, Options or Page Thumbnail to get to a drop down command of Insert Page, but I have few choices in any of those places and Insert Page is not any of them.

What do you see, then?

Where's my Page Thumbnails button? Acrobat 8 Std

A few weeks ago I was able to click on the Page Thumbnails button in Acrobat 8 Std, some how it is no longer visible so can't use page thumbnails option. How can I fix this problem?

Right-click the left panel and select Reset Toolbars (or something similar
to that).

Enlarge page thumbnails from keyboard in Acrobat Pro X?

I get RSI if I mouse too much. Almost every time I use Acrobat, I want to enlarge the page thumbnails. The Help file says to click on the little options menu and then on 'Enlarge Page Thumbnails'. This is what I've been doing. I note that one can also right click and press the relevant letter, but that's still a mouse click. Since the letter 'l' is underlined in the options menu, I should be able to activate it from the keyboard. But I can't figure out how to do it. I can't reach the options menu from any of the main menus, and pressing 'Alt+L' in the Page Thumbnails menu has no effect. Is there a way of getting there from the keyboard? Thanks Mary

The host of the meeting should be able to start and stop recording the live session whenever they want/need. Then the recording is viewable from a link, not dissimilar to the link for the live meeting.

Hiding the tool bar / showing page thumbnails by default

Hi there
Does anyone know how can the right side tool bar be hidden by default on Acrobat DC?
Likewise, how can the page thumbnails show up everytime a PDF is opened?
Many thanks
Gil

Following up on an earlier post...
I've tried a few alternative PDF products (which shall remain nameless). It is clear that Adobe creates really good, solid albeit sometimes annoying technology. In looking at reading capability, it is clear that Acrobat handles the more difficult situations effortlessly, and performance is quite good. Notwithstanding this, the majority of PDFs that I come across are quite mundane. An unsubstantiated guess is that most are created from basic MS Word documents.
The raison d'etre for the PDF was to maintain the sanctity of the print format when presented online. For the majority of documents (again unsubstantiated opinion), this is irrelevant. It is used the way it is because it is the easiest way to take a Word document and make it readable electronically.
If my guesses are correct, Adobe has really misread the main usage of Acrobat. Instead, the focus is continuing the development of Acrobat to keep it meaningful. Unfortunately, this direction is taking it away from its primary use case. Typically, product management is paid a lot of money to make bad judgements (being snarky) and this may be one of them. The product is better fulfilling uses cases other than just being a reader, the primary use case.
So, going back to looking at alternative products: what I've seen is that there are those that have some of the duality of Acrobat. What was done, however, was an acceptance of this duality: there was a way to switch the product between an Edit mode and a Reader mode. Something such as this might go a long way towards quieting people like us.
And, as a response to other comments in this thread...
One of the things that I do when designing a document for within Acrobat was signalling if I wanted the left pane to display. In many cases I did as this left pane would contain an outline of the information that is in my document. By manually creating a structure, I could facilitate my reader's access to the information. (I never found a use for thumbnails.)
It should, of course, be up to the reader if they want never to the left pane by default. However, as a document's designer, I want to have the ability to say how I want to be.

When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open. Please help!

In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden). Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set. I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open. In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

Truncated (incomplete) Page-Thumbnail View (6.03)

On my Windows XP 64 machine that is running two 1920x1200 monitors via NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 with the latest drivers I am having the following problem: in both Acrobat and InDesign the page thumbnail views do not show all of the thumbnail whatever the settings or the proportions of the view. E.g., in InDesign the bottom portions of the thumbnails is not visible and the scroll bar not shown with Show Vertically on in Options and the slides on the right of the window are not shown with Show Vertically off.
This is most inconvenient as I am having to resize the window every time I want to find the missing slides.
Anyone else is seeing this and what might be the reason/remedy?
Thanks

I don't see that the behavior you describe in the ID pages panel is related to a bug in how Acrobat displays page thumbnails. I seriously doubt that the two are using any code in common, and you describe truncated thumbnails, while the referenced thread describes thumbnails as completely omitted.
If your point was that there might be a bug in ID that is causing your problem, it doesn't seem likely as it hasn't been reported here previously that I can recall, and a problem with the display of the pages panel would have generated a LOT of comment by now. Try replacing your preferences or udating the video driver.

Disable Page Thumbnail Default for Scans

When scanning in Acrobat 9 (Create PDF From Scanner), page thumbnails are always displayed when the scanned document opens in Acrobat right after the scan. In Document Properties > Initial View > Navigation Tabs is set as Page Only, so this is not a setting that is saved with the document. It appears to be a default action after a scan completes.
How do I change the default behavior so that after the scan, only the document shows (no page thumbnails) ?

Wow, this forum is helpful.

Switches to page thumbnails

Just this past week, while working on some Acrobat files in Acrobat XI Pro, I noticed the view kept switching to page thumbnails from my standard bookmark view. I have no idea why that change took place, or how it might be resolved so that it does not happen further. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks,
Ken Wagoner

It's probably not possible to change this default behavior.
