Control position of Acrobat Toolbars?

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong discussion but I cannot find a general discussion for Acrobat - all are very specific.
I'm using Acrobat XI Professional. I create PDFs from FrameMaker. The interface in Acrobat has changed with regard to the position of toolbars and buttons and I find it less intuitive and want to know if there is a way to change that interace. I used to be able to control some tool positions - can't figure out how to do that now.
1. I don't want the Create button in the toolbar at all, or at least not positioned as the first button on the left. I NEVER use that function in Acrobat. I am accustomed to the Open button being the first tool and keep clicking the wrong one.
2. I really dislike the up/down page navigation buttons being at the top of the screen. I am accustomed to them being at the bottom of the window, below my open document and that makes much more sense than having to "reach" to the upper left of center now and take my eyes off the document text to scroll up and down through pages.
3. Ditto for the zoom in/zoom out buttons - prefer them at the bottom of the window.
Is there some way to customize the toolbars/buttons that I am missing?
Thanks for any help.

If your VI has multiple panes (or just to be prepared), you can find, here  a VI that returns the pane of a control.

  • Controlling Animation in Acrobat 3D

    Need help controlling animation in Acrobat 3D.  Looking to control the playback of the animation by steps, not have it playback all at once.
    Please help!

    You have to use Acrobat 3D JavaScript to control the playback. There are two options, neither of which is particularly simple:
    1) Recreate the U3D model so it contains several different animation "sequences" rather than one long one. In JS you can then select which of them you want to be active (by name or number) using the scene.activateAnimation() method, so only that sequence plays back when the toolbar buttons are used. Starting and pausing playback is done using runtime.pause() and runtime.play(). You'd do something like this:
    var _anim = scene.animations.getByIndex(3); // pick the fourth one
    scene.activateAnimation(_anim);
    runtime.play();
    2) Write your own timeEventHandler(). This is also the only way to change the speed of playback or make it run in reverse. Note that unlike a video file, 3D animations do not have a uniform series of "frames" you can step through; they have keyframes defined by time intervals in seconds and between that all the movements are interpolated. Here's a typical use for TimeEventHandler, slow-motion playback:
    var animSpeedFactor = 0.5;
    function playAnimSlowly() {
        if(_anim.currentTime >= _anim.endTime)  _anim.currentTime = _anim.startTime;
        if (typeof _animTimer != "undefined") runtime.removeEventHandler(_animTimer);
        var _tps = _anim.currentTime;
        _animTimer = new TimeEventHandler();
        _animTimer.onTimeChange = true;
        _animTimer.onEvent = function(event) {
          _tps += event.deltaTime/animSpeedFactor;
          if (_tps <= _anim.endTime) _anim.currentTime = _tps;
          else {
          _anim.currentTime = _anim.endTime;
          runtime.removeEventHandler(_animTimer);
        runtime.addEventHandler(_animTimer);
    function resetAnimSpeed(_asf) {
        animSpeedFactor = _asf;
        if (typeof _animTimer != "undefined") runtime.removeEventHandler(_animTimer);
    The functions are documented in the Acrobat SDK under the "JavaScript > JavaScript for 3D Annotations" chapter.

  • Acrobat Toolbar in Lotus Notes 8.5

    Does anyone know how i can get the acrobat toolbar to show up in Lotus Notes 8.5.
    I know this has been an issue in the past and I have already tried the steps of manually adding the add-ons into the configuration files for Notes but that doesn't seem to work any longer.
    I'm using Lotus Notes 8.5 fp2 and Adobe 9 Pro
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Having the same issue in our shop.  So I'm curious if you figured it out.
    Same specs, same futzing with the notes.ini file with the add-in line.
    Spent 2 hours with Adobe technical support (why is ever interaction with them so uninspiring?) only to be told to unistall Acrobat, unstall Notes, reinstall Acrobat, reinstall notes.
    To spare anyone the headache, this doesn't work either.
    Becoming more and more disenchanted with the Acrobat product as it relates to Lotus Notes. (suppose they'd just rather have the Microsoft Outlook gorilla sit on them)
    I'm the decision maker in our shop and plan to look for ways put the X on and upgrade to Acrobat X.  Surely there is another way to store our emails by subject matter for records retention purposes.

  • Acrobat Toolbar STILL missing in Word 2013 64bit

    Hi
    I use Acrobat X and Word 2010 extensively to convert word documents into PDF with clickable TOC and links.
    I recently upgraded to Office 2013 (64bit) and found Acrobat was not compatible, and so upgraded to Acrobat XI professional. However after the acrobat install, the Acrobat toolbar was still not there in Word 2013. I re-installed Acrobat, then updated acrobat, then re-ran word. Nothing. I looked in Com Addins - no acrobat add Office add in.
    There is an Acrobat menu in in Outlook 2013, Excel 2013, Powerpoint 2013 - just not WORD (just my luck).
    I tried to manually add into word COM add-ins the file at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\x64\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll - Word did not generate an error when I tried to do this, but neither did it add the add-in. I re-started Word to be sure, but it's still not there.
    I tried manually adding the COM add-in at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\x64\PDFMWord.dll - but word gave me an error "... is not a valid Office Add-In."
    I would really NOT like to have to go back to Word 2010 and Acrobat X - can you assist? I've searched the forums and the web to get to where I am now, without success.
    Also : I have tried an Repair within Acrobat without success.
    Regards, Ken

    Ok, in case someone has the same problem I fixed it this way:
    The fact that the PDFMaker was running in Excel and in Outlook made me think it was a Word problem. Also because I was able to almost add in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\x64\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll without an error (even through it didn't work) - I decided to try as the Administrator.
    By running Word as the Administrator (my username is an Administrator, but I do not log in as the Administrator) - done by right clicking on Word 2013 in the start menu, choosing Run As Administrator - then going through the process of adding the add-in from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\x64\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll - this worked and now the Acrobat Menu is in Word 2013.

  • Acrobat Toolbar in Word 2008?

    I have Acrobat 8 Professional and Office 2008 installed. I want to convert a Word document to PDF format *with bookmarks*. I'm a recent switcher from Windows, and on Windows I had an Acrobat toolbar in Word that did this with a single mouse click. All Word headings were converted to nested bookmarks in the resulting PDF. Now that I'm on a Mac, all I can do is create a PDF without any bookmarks. I can't figure out how to get the bookmarks in there automatically.
    I gather that Acrobat is supposed to add some kind of toolbar to Word (and Excel and PowerPoint), but I can't find it, and I can't figure out how to enable it. Can anyone tell me how to get access to the Acrobat toolbar in Word, and save me 20+ minutes manually adding bookmarks to the PDF?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the info. I am disappointed to learn that automatic bookmark creation wasn't ever available on the Mac. Who knew that there are actually disadvantages of the Mac vs. Windows? :-)
    Are there any other ways (third-party apps, for example), to automatically create bookmarks from heading styles in a Word document?
    Cheers!

  • JSlider or similar for controlling position in sound files help please.

    You know how winamp, wm player , etc, and JMStudio all have a "slider" bar to control position, along with a "numeric readout" of the current position.
    Fairly new to Java, but know this isn't a difficult thing to do, just haven't found out how to do it.
    Do not care if it is with JavaSound API or JMF, either is fine, just learning.
    Have read up on Sliders at:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/slider.html#labels
    But do not understand how to implement it with Audio file usage.
    My goal as a new programmer is to create a simple audio playing Applet:
    For a GREAT idea on what it will basically do check out:
    JMStudio:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmstudio/jmstudio.html
    My goals are to have:
    Applet
    GUI with: Pause/Play button and a SLIDER to control position, just like described.
    Have it load and play an audio file when a link is clicked on using the PARAM tag from html
    I know about the open source/commercial products,,,, but I'm trying to learn, and those are too in depth to try and learn from right now, trying to take baby steps, and having difficulty finding anything beyond play()
    loop() and stop()
    searched google, groups, yahoo with various phrases.
    Thank you!

    You have to use a JSlider and combine its events with the setMediaTime method of the player.

  • Acrobat toolbar disappeared after update

    I'm in the midst of reinstalling everything on a reformatted computer (don't we all just LOVE computer crashes?).
    When I first installed MS Office 2007, I had the Acrobat toolbar in both Word and Outlook.  But then I did an update to Acrobat 7.0 standard, which brought it up to 7.10.  But now I have no toolbar in Office.  I tried to search for answers here but just could not follow.  Any help for a non-computer-guru?
    Thanks,
    Malia

    Well, after looking around here and on other forums about the issues between Acrobat (no matter what version) and Office 2007, I could kick myself for not checking it out BEFORE I bought Office 2007!  I'm a virtual assistant and most of my clients use 2007, so I figured it was time for me to catch up since I was having to reinstall everything anyway.
    But it just never occurred to me that the newest versions of such popular programs would not "play well" together.  Since buying the newest version of Acrobat won't help (and I do use Acrobat a lot) then it looks like my best alternative would be to just stick with Office 2003 and Acrobat 7.
    All the various "work arounds" I've seen just seem too complicated and too much trouble and makes the Office upgrade not worth it to me.
    I'll include a couple of relevant links referred to above here in case others looking at this thread might be curious:

    If anyone ever has useful info about this, I'd be interested to hear since I guess I'll just tuck away Office 2007 now.
    Thanks,
    Malia

  • Where did my Acrobat Toolbar go?

    I have MS-Office 2000. I have been using Acrobat Standard 6 for a long time, but recently upgraded to Acrobat Standard 9. I have lost the Acrobat toolbar that used to appear in Word and Excel.
    The help files indicate that I should be able to go to View - Toolbars and select the Acrobat toolbar, but it isn't listed.
    I read kb404116 which suggested using the Help - Repair Installation option. I did this, but I still don't have the toolbar.
    I am able to use Print to print to an Acrobat PDF without any problem. I would like to have the icons back for easy PDF creation.
    Please tell me what I can do.

    You also meed to make sure that you selected the custom install and installed the PDF Macros for MS Office. You should be able to do this through the repair option.

  • Acrobat Toolbars gone haywire

    It seems my Acrobat toolbars in Word have developed a life of their own.
    the acrobat and the acrobat and acrobat meeting (never saw this one before) toolbars appear below my other toolbars everytime I bring a word window to the front.
    I can go into the menu and turn both of them off, click to another word menu and when I click back on the first window the toolbars are right back where they were to begin with.
    I've tried moving them off to the right of the standard word toolbar, but when I click back to the window they move back to the bottom of the toolbars - taking up valuable real estate in my window.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

  • Removing Acrobat Toolbar from Office 2011

    I've searched the Web and all the solutions to this don't seem to work with Office for Mac 2011...
    So ... I made the mistake of opening Adobe Acrobat Pro (The full app) yesterday, and when I did, it automatically (despite asking me and me saying "no") installed into all the Office apps the highly annoying and totally unnecessary Acrobat toolbar.
    Does anyone know how to remove this thing? I've tried everything I can thing and everything I've found on the Web.
    Halp!

    There are reports of this happening in Office2011 on the OfficeForMac Forums. 2011 has returned the ability to use Macros. And the PDFMaker is a Macro. Acrobat installs this in any version of Office that can use Macros, whether it has the ability Function. In 2004 you went to customize menus and unchecked PDFMaker Then you you looked for PDFMaker in Acrobat and and Office.  And yes Acrobat indeed does trigger its installation.  Its been so long since I had to do it but at one time there was a Kludge to prevent it from happening. You had remove the offending item then create aBlank folder and name it exact  same as application (Macro) and place it in place of the original file. In UNIX which is the underlying basis for the Mac OS. you can write over top of a Folder with a File.
    2011 is almost line by line port of Office2010 for PC with some features left out. And there are some cases where they didn't or proof read the code to leave out items that will only work on PC. One such problem is That you can not use the word "File" or Fileserver in the name of any File, Folder, Harddrive, of fil Server paths. Something that is acceptable on Mac's for as long as Mac have been. Also certain forbidden characters such as <>| \/ "  subscripts and superscripts and numbers can not proceed names  (document1.docx is aceptable - 1document.docx is not).  They put in a piece of PC Code that looks for this stuff. So for office2011 Mac, any way you can't name a File, Directory Hard Drive, or Fileserver in a PC, you can't in Office Mac 2011. It doesn't affect Office 2008, or 2004.
    So if that insertion code Macro, is still in Acrobat 9, or even 10 it will install PDFMaker whether it can be used or not.

  • Need advice on the techniques used to add icons to my custom Acrobat toolbar

    I am trying to add a set of nice icons to my custom (plugin-based) Acrobat toolbar. The issues are those to be expected:
    - What dimensions are acceptable?
    - What color depth?
    - What graphic file format?
    - How do I handle transparency?
    As a newbie, I just discovered that bitmaps (*.bmp) don't seem to  support 32 bit color (or transparency?).
    My target is Windows XP, which apparently supports 32 bit color.
    What I currently have is 24x24x24 bitmaps, but the background shows as white.
    TIA,
    -Ramon

    There is an example in the Acrobat 9 SDK about how to use PNG files (which support transparency) for toolbar icons.

  • Adobe Acrobat Toolbar issues in firefox browser

    Hi all,
    Since a recent Adobe update I have been having issues with reading pdf documents within firefox 3.6.20.
    Basically to summarize I like have the Adobe Toolbar and always had the display in read mode by default disabled.
    However if I disable this the toolbar doesn't appear fully only partially with nothing at the top only to the left toolbar which has the thumbnail icon, search command and attachments.
    To get the full top toolbar back the only way I have found is to enable read mode.
    Then when the pdf appears in brower to click the adbe icon on the reader toolbar and then the extended toolbar is fully back.
    Whats gone wrong?
    Seems to it with both adobe reader X and Adobe acrobat X pro
    Thanks,

    Sounds like a problem with the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder.
    Do you have (security) software that might protect and restore an older copy of this file?
    Note that the default position of the Home button is at the far right of the Navigation Toolbar and the combined Reload/Stop/Go button is positioned at the right end side of the location bar where you also have the star to bookmark web pages.
