Always show Navigation Pane?

Hi
Is there a way to always have the Navigation Pane visible?
I use it constantly and it is really annoying in Acrobat DC to always have to show all the options for the Pane I regularly use.

Hi 32323232323,
Please let me know if Navigation Pane is open by default for every PDF file that you open in Acrobat DC.
In a particular document, you can hide Navigation Pane (as suggested above) and save it.
Then, open your file again and it will be hidden. The buttons that are displayed on the left hand side work area just provide you an easy access to several panels.
You can refer this KB doc link to know more about Acrobat DC workspace basics:

  • Show navigation pane link in topics

    Looking for more info on a new option for WebHelp layouts:
    In the layout properties WebHelp Navigation screen (2nd page
    of properties) there is an option Show Navigation Page Link in
    Topics If I click the Help button on this screen, I see that this
    option is described as "Include a link to the navigation pane."
    I don't see any such link in my topics when I generate
    WebHelp with this option enabled. I am just viewing my output
    locally. Are these links only visible when the Help is called using
    the API from a server?
    Anyone using this option, or know what it is supposed to do?
    I am using Breadcrumbs Links and these are working
    fine.

    Hi Rick,
    First, thanks for all your help over the years with both RH
    and Captivate, and for the great hints at your site.
    Second, I was *hoping* this option would show the nav pane
    link in the following case:
    In my project I have set up a 2-pane window (Main_window) and
    a 1-pane window (CS_Window).
    Main_window is used for calling Help from the toolbar button
    and some other places in the app when we want users to open help to
    the default topic.
    CS_window is called from our app when a user presses F1 in a
    dialog (context-sensitive help). This window displays pertinent
    topic and toolbar but no nav pane. Just what I want.
    Problem is, there is no way for users to access nav pane from
    the context-sensitive window. Related topics etc are all opened in
    this same window. In order to get more info, users have to close
    the help and re-open it via the toolbar or other link.
    When a user presses F1, I would like them to see the "naked"
    topic, with a way to open the nav pane.
    What is the best way to acheive this?
    Is there a way to invoke a context-sensitive topic outside
    the WebHelp frameset so that this nav pane link will appear, and do
    what you describe?
    OR
    Is there a way to add a button to my CS_Window that would
    re-open the topic in the Main_window, which includes the nav pane.
    OR
    Other ideas? Suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Jeanne
    PS RoboHelp 7's own Help suffers from same problem: Click the
    Help button in a dialog, see the pertinent topic, but there is no
    way to find additonal info unless it is listed as a related topic.
    You have to close the Help window and invoke Help via the menu to
    see the nav pane.

  • Show Navigation pane link in topics disappears

    When I click on a help link the topic with the navigation
    pane link is shortly displayed and is then replaced with the topic
    and the TOC in the left pane. I want to display the topic with the
    navigation pane link.

    Clarification of the WebHelp generation process seems to be
    called for.
    The .htm file that appears in the "Select Output Folder and
    Start Page" field at the top of the first "WebHelp General -
    WebHelp" dialog is the file in which RH will place all the frameset
    and browser information needed to display the three frames (toolbar
    pane, left-hand TOC/Index/Search navigation pane, and right-hand
    topic pane). (The "Default Topic" field, in the same dialog, tells
    RH which actual content page/topic to display when that start page
    is launched.)
    The direct launching of any other topic (you double clicking
    the filename or R&D calling it in the application) will result
    in one topic pane being displayed for that topic, with the "Show"
    button provided to switch over to the three-pane frameset.
    However, launching a specific topic
    indirectly through the start page will display that page
    with the three-pane format. The call from the application would
    then be StartPage.htm#DestinationPage.htm. If you want to open the
    same topic at a prearranged bookmark, the call would be
    StartPage.htm#DestinationPage.htm#BookmarkSection.
    Good luck,
    Leon

  • Show Navigation Pane automatically

    How do you show the Navigation Pane automatically for
    context-sensitive Help insteas of the Show link? We call the Help
    from a web application using map ID's but we want users to see the
    TOC & Search right away without clicking a Show link. Any help
    will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    That sounds like the dialog for a new topic coming up first!
    Are you sure WebHelp is defined as the primary layout?
    See
    http://www.grainge.org/test/window3.jpg
    If Window Properties is set up when webhelp is the default
    layout, then you should see this dialog.
    http://www.grainge.org/test/window.jpg
    I suspect you are seeing this one which means HTML is set as
    the primary dialog. The window does not change when you change the
    default. You have to create a new one.

  • Another "Show Navigation Pane" question

    We would like to display the "Show" link at the bottom the
    topic rather than at the top, where it detracts from the topic
    title. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Hi Gravenstein

  • How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default in a programmable way?

    Hi guys,
    I am looking for a way to make a PDF file not showing navigation pane when it is opened, in a programmable way.
    I have referred to the PDF references, and found a ViewerPreferences dictionary which can control the viewer appearance, and there is a entry
    Key
    Type
    Value
    HideWindowUI
    boolean
    (Optional) A flag specifying whether to hide user interface elements in
    the document’s window (such as scroll bars and navigation controls),
    leaving only the document’s contents displayed. Default value: false.
    But after I specified the HideWindowUI with true, the navigation pane is still showing up with the bookmark expanded.
    I know there is a way by specifying the opening parameter with "navpanes=0" with command line or change the windows registry. But I can't do this because I can't ask every of my customers do this way.
    Could someone provide suggestions or insights on that?
    Thanks!

    Hi Rave,
    I have ever seen this method before, but it can't address my problem. I can't ask my customers to change their registry, cause I even don't know who they are...
    What I can control is just the content of the PDF file.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Showing the Navigation Pane all the time

    We're doing WebHelp, Navigation Pane generated as pure HTML,
    all help files rolled into software, on RoboHelp 7.
    When the developer calls the page, we get only the page
    without the Navigation Pane (and the "show" link).
    How do we make sure the Navigation Pane gets called with the
    page?

  • Computer always showing in Shared pane even when Off???

  • Navigation pane not showing in merged output on server (IE9)

    RH10 | WebHelp
    We've moved our WebHelp outputs from an externally maintained server to an in-house server, but the left-hand navigation pane isn't displaying in our merged Help system. In our user guide (which isn't merged) the pane displays fine, but in our release notes (which is a merged system) it doesn't want to show itself. The main navigation pane and topic pane are fine, it's just the left-hand navigation pane that's blank.
    I'm running IE9, but the weird thing is that it displays correctly in Firefox. It also works when run locally.
    Both Help systems worked absolutely fine on the previous server, so I'm wondering if there's a conflict with something else that's running on the new server (e.g. our website's CMS, etc.) or whether it's a permissions thing?
    My issue seems similar to other posts on here, but I'm using IE9 not IE11.
    I'd be grateful for any ideas.
    Thanks

  • Can I permanently disable the navigation pane in HTML help?

    My company has a web-based application on MicroStrategy platform.
    I have created a customized WebHelp to replace the MicroStrategy out of the box help and that works just fine.
    We are developing the MicroStrategy Office add-in for Excel for our clients.
    Once installed, a CHM file is copied to the client's local hard drive.
    We want to replace this with our own customized help.
    I have created a CHM file with ONE topic that redirects the clients to our customzied WebHelp with content for the add-in.
    The one topic has a redirect in the HTML header code as follows:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://customhelp.htm#AddIn_Introduction.htm" />
    That is working fine in my testing.
    Here is my problem...
    The HTML Help Viewer opens and automatically hides the Navigation Pane and displays the WebHelp (navigation pane, menu bar and topic pane).
    But, the HTML Help Viewer still has the Hide/Show button to Hide/Show the navigation pane for the HTML help.
    Is there ANY way to disable this or hide it or let it stay there but disable the navigation pane?
    As always, any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks --
    Michael F Weart

    Amebr and Priyank --
    Thanks - that did exactly what I wanted it to do.
    It did not work in my testing, but I think the KEY point that I missed was the sequence of unchecking the options in the Window setup.
    Now I have a one topic CHM help file that automatically redirects to my WebHelp on my application server.
    The CHM opens and automatically redirects to my WebHelp and the WebHelp (frameset and all) display in an HTML Help Viewer window that has no HTML Help Viewer navigation buttons.
    One last note, the WebHelp displays with the Contents/Index/Search for WebHelp included in the presentation.
    I have not deployed this in a non-test environment so I may still run into issues but so far it is good.
    THANKS for all the help.

  • Using Navigation Pane and Filter on WAD

    Hi experts,
    Couple of quick questions regarding WAD :
    1) When I first execute the WAD planning layout, I basically get the selection screen based on the variables that were defined on the query. One of my variables is basically a naviagtional attribute. After I make the selection and execute the WAD based layout, I get my results screen with my plan data. But I also want to see above my layout the values that were  entered in my selections when I executed the layout. I treid to use the 'Navigation Pane',  and by defining it to show me those ' Free characteristics in my query'.
    The problem is, it only shows me those 'Free characteritics', but does not show me the VALUES that I selected for those free characteristics. What am I missing ??? It seems like you can only using them for drag&drop.. !!  I need a way for the layout to show/default those values that were originally selected when the template was first executed.
    2) I created a 'Drop-down' in WAD for one of my naviagation attaributes. I defined it as follows:
    Data Binding :  Char/Structure
    Data Provider: Query that I have that reads the navigation attribute from master data.
    Characteristic: Selected the techincal name of the navigational attribute.
    Affected Data Providers : Since I have 4 querieson the one web template that will be affected (changed) by this drop-down, I have listed all 4 here.
    The problem is, when I execute query, and I get to my results area, when I select a different value from my drop-down of that navigational attribute, the results area does not change. In other words, the drop-down selections have NO affect on any of my WAD layouts (results area). It keeps and stays on the original results. Can someone helps with this.
    Thanks

    Hi Ehab,
    For the first one, you can have a property in the Template properties.
    Click on anywhere in the template other than on web items. Now select Web item properties tab on the left side. Go to "Entries in Context Menu">"Display Variable screen">Always Display.
    By doing this, the variables you have selected will not be displayed once you have executed but you can go to variable screen with the selections you have made in that execution using Context menu.
    Hope this helps u...
    Regards,
    KK.

  • Navigation pane doesn't function in Firefox

    I'm using RoboHelp HTML version 8 to publish WebHelp. In addition to shipping help with the product, we also make the latest help available on a customer web site. I've got Firefox 3.6 on my machine, and when I open our help in Firefox, the navigation pane is not functional. When I open the help system from the web site, the Contents and Index tabs are completely empty. When I open it from my hard drive or from a server here at the office, a few of our books appear in the Contents, but no topics are listed when you open them.
    I searched for similar posts to try to find an answer, but couldn't find anything that explained the problem:
    - We're not running any scripts.
    - I don't have the Firebug plug-in installed.
    - I turned off the popup blocker in Firefox.
    - We publish merged help, so I opened each project to verify that they all have the same language selected. They do.
    Any help is appreciated!
    -Melanie

    Just a quick update to include some information that I learned from my co-workers:
    The help works fine when viewed in Chrome. (Also in IE, as I said earlier.)
    If you wait long enough (5 minutes or more), the index and TOC show up in Firefox when viewed from the community website. (I hadn't realized this. I never waited that long!)
    When viewed locally, the TOC never shows more than a handful of books -- and no topics-- no matter how long you wait. They're always the same books. (The local files are more recent than those published to the community website, and apparently we've added something that Firefox reallly doesn't like.)
    I think this is a problem with Firefox rather than RoboHelp, and fortunately it's not a "must fix" for us. I was just hoping that if I put it out on the community, someone might have seen the same thing and figured out a work-around.
    BTW, we are loving RH8!!
    Thanks!

  • Navigation pane disappears when the focus is changed

    I using Robohelp 7.01.001 and am generating a Microsoft HTML Help (Primary Layout). When I open up the CHM file everything looks fine, but when I change the focus off of the Help file the navigation pane hides. Is there a setting to always show the navigation pane?

    Welcome to our community
    If you edit your Window definition you should see an option labeled Auto-show/hide Nav Pane.
    If this option is enabled, clear it and you should be golden. If it's not enabled, enable it and click OK. Then disable it and click OK.
    If the steps listed earlier don't seem to resolve the issue, perhaps try creating a new window and defining that as the window for your CHM file.
    Cheers... Rick
