Adobe Reader X - moving toolbars (toolbar customization)

In Reader 9, I can customerize the position of the toolbars.
Anyone know how to do this in Reader X?

It appears that customization of the toolbars is excruciatingly limited with X.
I know it won't do any good to vent here, but I think you would agree that Adobe needs to restore the previously customized toolbars!! Trust me, I have voiced my concerns in the appropriate location, but I hope others will do likewise.
I was completely shocked to update to reader X and go back 15 years in toolbar design.
Toolbars should not be static. Menus..maybe...Toolbars...no way!
Toolbars should be customizable.
Sections of toolbars should be able to float together.
Users should not have to use a drop down menu because the tool they want to use is too far to the right to fit onto their single line toolbar. At least give us the ability to prioritize which icons show up first if we are force to only have one line for a toolbar.
Users should be able to set up a whole toolbar in one pass, and not have to click "View > Show/Hide > Toolbars > Feature" for each feature they wish to add or delete from the toolbar.
"Take Snapshot" is by far one of the most useful tools Reader has, but it got relegated to priority #99?..and thus has to be accessed via drop down if I want other operations on the toolbar as well?
That goes for Rotate - I'm in design & construction. Half the time non-computer literate office staffer who prints to PDF prints them upside-down or sideways. Lucky for me Rotate functions get priority #s 94 & 95, and thus are likewise relegated to the drop down.
Why do "Comment" and "Share" take up so much real-estate? I have limited need for these options on the toolbar!
Also, we should not have to rebuild our toolbars with every single released version of software.
What a terrible feature (lack of feature) in this release. Adobe should X Adobe Reader X.

Suspicious behaviour: Does installing Adobe Reader also installs Google Toolbar and Chrome?

Adobe staff, please confirm this behaviour...
Yesterday I downloaded Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ for my freshly installed Windows 7
computer.
While installing Adobe Reader, the app also automagically installed Google Toolbar on my IE and Chrome on my computer.
While I have nothing against having a Google Toolbar or Chrome, the sneaky way they are installed bothers me...
That's the kind of thing that malware and spyware would do... not Adobe!
So can someone from Adobe please confirm that this is the behaviour of Adobe Reader? I'm beginning to get a bit concerned.
By the way, I did not see any opt-out box?
If there was one, then it's so well-hidden that I missed it!
Thanks.

"If you cared to Google, there has been numerous instances where users have complained that
bundled software were installed either:
1) Without their permission
2) The opt-out tickbox is unobvious to the user because of the form's vague design"
Without their permission??? Unobvious???
Are you serious?
Are you HIGH?
Are you that naive?
See the screen shot. There is a box to uncheck if you DON'T want the Google software. I've been in these forums (Reader, Acrobat, Flash Player, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks) since 2004 and have been fixing other people's computers since 2002. One of the STUPIDEST THINGS I've ever heard in all that time is "I don't have time to uncheck a box"...
from people who then have the time to:
investigate what installed that they DIDN'T uncheck thebox for...
research exactly where it came from...
then they come here...
set up an Adobe ID and log into the forum...
search for the right forum to post in...
and then proceed to spew out a lengthy verbose and intricate account of how they "got hijacked" by software they didn't have less than half a second to prevent installing by... wait for it... unchecking a little box WITH A SINGLE MOUSE CLICK.
I understand you're ticked off because you made a dumb mistake and I'm really sorry you feel that you were "taken advantage of" and had software installed without your permission after you FAILED to choose NOT to install it. But if you plan to continue using computers let me give you a piece of advice...
If you haven't read it... and I mean REALLY read it... DON'T click it.

Adobe Reader 11 and Mac toolbar issue

I have an author who is trying to annotate enabled PDFs on his Mac. He downloaded the latest version of reader but he has no tools. How can he get his tools/annotations to appear? I enabled the PDF and emailed it to him. I have also posted an enabled version to an FTP. He is saving on his desktop then opening but he still doesn't have any tools Any help is appreciated.

I am trying to print from Reader. Safari is vers 6.1.3.
I can print from Word.
Mac OS is 10.7.5
Nothing happens when I click on print.

Hyperlinks in excel don't allow user to save file in adobe reader

I created a fillable form for users who have adobe reader. Form works. Users can fill the form in and save it (with same name). When users try to access this same form thru a hyperlink in excel, they are not allowed to save the filled in form using the same name. Can this be corrected?

Hello,
Adobe Acrobat is used to design and edit forms, while Adobe Reader is only for reading.
Once you reader extend any form, actually you enable some usage rights on that particular form and once you open that form in Reader, you will be able to perform the action that you have enabled.
So the first thing is the end user must have Reader not Acrobat, otherwise no use of reader extending the form.
Now to your question..
If you design form in LiveCycle designer, you can use validate element to prevent save, put this in XML source like below.
<config>
   <present>
      <validate>preSave</validate>
   </present>
</config>
If you are designing form in Acrobat itself, you can use script to disable menu items.
For details please look in this blog.

Help!!! A bug of the param in Adobe Reader X

I found that there was a problem of using param in opening pdf file after I installed the Adobe Reader X. Such as: #toolbar=0&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0
For example:
http://www.labour.gov.hk/tc/public/pdf/wcp/EOataGlance.pdf#toolbar=0&n avpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0
I want to hide the tool bar (Save and Print function) while I am opening the pdf document through the web. The param was OK at the first time to enter the link.
However, When I re-entered to the same link, the tool bar showed out. Also, it let me to save and print. The problem happen after I upgrade the Adobe Reader from 9
to X. The version 9 was no problem. I don't know what happen. Would you help me to fix it? Actually, I perfer to use the updating version of Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I tested it and it works fine. Are you sure your browser is using the Reader plugin?
Follow these instructions to make sure:

Question: Supress menu options in Adobe Reader V10

Normally in Adobe Reader V10 you see the toolbar with all the buttons/symbols, however in my case I need all of the buttons removed from it except for the print symbol.
My problem is that certain buttons cannot be removed from the toolbar, namely the read mode button and the comment button.
With the read mode button still available to the user, when he clicks it, he will see a floating menu bar at the bottom:
Is it possible to either:
Remove all of the buttons from toolbar except print
If not possible and read mode button remains, then remove all buttons from floating bar except print

You can use JavaScript to hide certain menu and toolbar items; see http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2009/11/11/adobe-reader-how-to-disable-toolbar-buttons-and -menu-items/
You will have to test it as I think some of the functionality has been removed from Reader X / XI.

Adobe Reader 9 - TOOLBAR CUSTOMIZATION won't save upon exiting program

I just installed Adobe Reader 9 on a Dell Laptop running Windows XP, with all updates installed.
When I open Adobe Reader, it starts with a minimum set of buttons shown in the toolbar, so I have tried to customize the toolbar by adding more tools (such as the "Open", "Single continuous", "Rotate clockwise" buttons). Everything works fine until then, but when I quit the program and restart (whenever I need to use it again), the toolbar is back to its previous state.
I don't remember this being an issue with Reader 8, am I missing something? A comprehensive look at the preferences didn't reveal any option to maintain toolbar preferences.
Thanks!
RB

Hi guys! I too had this same annoying problem, but have just figured out why it doesn't restore our settings! To fix it, from the main menu bar, click on:
Edit > Preferences
then from the category bar on the righthand side, click:
Documents.
Now look at the checkboxes to the right, and UN-TICK the setting saying:
'Allow documents to hide the menu bar, toolbars and window controls'.
Then it should remember all your settings every time you re-open the document! It did for me! Hope this helps anyone having the same problem with adobe reader's really anoying default settings! If adobe is reading this, please make the default setting show our menu bars like in the previous versions! People are getting really frustrated with it, and I'm sure many people just gave up and stopped using it! Just a heads up!

Adobe Reader XI hides toolbar by default

I work at a service desk and have recently received a number of trouble tickets regarding the toolbar not populating by default.
I've adjusted the end user's settings a number of times but could still not get the toolbar to display after changing the settings when the user closed the document and moved on to the next document. Keep in mind that these users are accessing Reader through the Internet Explorer 9 extension.
Searching through the threads on this forum, I found this thread that states there was a defect in Adobe Reader X that was causing a similar issue. Has this defect been resolved, is it still open, or is this a new defect? Are there any workarounds?

What operating system? Reader version?

My Adobe Reader toolbar that allows you to save, print, email, etc. the document in the browser window/tab has disappeared and I want to know how to get it back.

I was unable to view PDF files in Firefox and would get a blank screen telling me I needed to re-install Adobe. I did that and was still unable to view PDF files in the browser window or tab.
Now that I have upgraded to the most current version of Firefox I no longer have the Adobe Reader toolbar that used to be a toolbar above a PDF file when viewing in the browser window or tab. I don't have the printer icon, floppy disc icon, email icon, page arrows to scroll up or down, the percentage for size, etc. Is there a way to be able to have this toolbar again?

I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

Missing "Add-ons" toolbar in Adobe Reader X

In Adobe Reader 8.1.1 I implemented buttons in the "Add-ons" toolbar with Javascript.
This toolbar was activated by right-mouse click in the standard-toolbar and checking on "Zusatzprogramme"
(i don't know the english term). The internal name of the toolbar is "JSAppToolbar.
JavaScript:
   app.addToolButton({
   cName:     "DirektDruck",
   cExec:     "pp = event.target.getPrintParams();" +
              "fv = pp.constants.flagValues;" +
              "pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;" +
              "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;" +
              "pp.flags |= fv.supressCenter;" +
              "pp.flags &= ~fv.suppressRotate;" +
              "pp.flags &= ~fv.setPageSize;" +
              "pp.printerName = "+ "'" + global.vvwpriname +"';" +
              "event.target.print(pp);",
   cEnable:   "event.rc = (event.target != null);",
   cTooltext: "Direktdruck",
   cLabel:    "Direktdruck",
   nPos:      0});
In Adobe Reader X the "Add-ons" toolbar seems to be disappeared.
When viewing an PDF-Dokument with Adobe Reader X by accidently i saw the tools-panel "Werkezeuge" (called tools in the english version). There i found my buttons created by JAVASCRIPT. Viewing another PDF-Dokument the tools-panel doesn't appear.
   Here the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools) appears:
   Here the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools) is not displayed:
Questions:
1. Where can I define the appearance of the panel "Werkzeuge" (Tools).
2: I want to place my own buttons (with javascript) in a toolbar, because our users are not amused to click through menus. The solution in older Acrobat Reader Versions was perfect !! How can i achieve this requirement.

Hi Bernd,
   Thank you for your suggestion... unfortunately no effect! I have tried pressing F8 (I made sure the focus was on the plugin by clicking on it). The bar does not appear. So I think either:
* F8 only toggles the bar in the separate Reader program, not the plugin;
or
* Because I removed the toolbar by deselecting each "sub-bar" separately with the mouse, I'm toggling nothing (bar is invisible).
   Is there any other thing I could try?
Best regards,
Lee

Adobe Reader xi: transparent toolbars and scrolling issues

Recently upgraded from v9 to v 11 on pc. Adobe Reader starts and opens PDFs. However, where the toolbars would normlly appear at the top of the screen they do not; instead there is space for the toolbars but the desktop is visible instead of the toolbars. The rest of Adobe Reader is visible on screen, e.g. the text of the pdf document being viewed, it is just the toolbars that don't appear; instead you can see through to the desktop where the toolbars would normally be. The toolbars are, in other words, completely transparent but the rest of Adobe Reader is visible. Other symptoms:
- On scrolling within a PDF the text of the PDF becomes blurry and repeats itself down the screen
- After a moment I also get an acrord32.exe error.
- Tried to upgrade to Adobe Flash 11.7.700.169 and install failed: 'Unable to load application configuration'.
- During all this System Restore crashed loosing previous restore points; this may be a coincidence.
BACKGROUND
- Adobe Reader v9.5.1 worked fine pre upgrade
- In 'add/rempove programs' v9.5.1 is still installed; if I try to uninstall I get: 'This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it...."
- Running on xp sp 3
- Up to date withWwindows patches
- Microsoft virus scanner up to date; no viruses
- Desktop is classic windows blue
Any help gratefully received!
