Hide every toolbars in Acrobat Reader

Hi everybody !!!!
I'm currently working on a C# application in using Acrobat Reader to display PDF.
I would like to display the only document and hide every tools (including the scollbar) to add my own tools.
I found setShowScrollbars() and setShowToolbar() but there is always a menu on the left side I would like to hide (in red on the picture).
Any idea to do that ?
Thanks a lot.
Quentin, french student

Thank you for the response
Unfortunately the documents I have been sent by the users don't reproduce the problem so I don't have a document that would be helpful. I currently have a call out to the users to supply more information and documents

Missing Commenting Toolbar for Acrobat Reader 9.3

Our company's standard desktop PCs run Acrobat 9.3.4 , Windows XP SPII (still), and IE 8.0
I have 2 PDF files, with the same Reader Extensions applied to both (commenting). The source of the PDF files was from Autocad (plant drawings). They are produced in exactly the same fashion , and in fact were generated within minutes of each other using an automated process.
What I am trying to say is that , from a PDF data structure point of view, these files are the same.
The PDF files are put on a web browser and users can access and open them in Internet Explorer within our intranet.
I know that Reader Extensions works for both because when these PDFs are opened up on user's desktop PC that only has Acrobat Reader in Internet Explorer we dynamically add annotations (using the Javascript API) to the PDF file as well as support other Reader Extension features such as spawning templates.
Here is the problem.
One PDF file has the commenting and markup toolbar when opened.
The other PDF file does not.
And when I right click on the one that does not Commenting and Markup is NOT an option. I cannot find a way to enable this.
This is now a major problem for us as we would like to support adding comments to these PDF files.
I cannot fathom what the difference is that would trigger Acrobat to suppress/ show the toolbar for one file and not the other.
So I have 2 questions.
1. What stops Acrobat from showing the commenting toolbar?
2. Is there some way through the Javascript API that I can force the commenting toolbar on for the PDF file that does not have it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

We have found an answer.
I still do not know why there is inconsistent behaviour, but if we execute the following Javascript (we are putting it in the /After section), it enables commenting
Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true

How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

We need to disable Save option from Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer 8/9/10 version.
Acrobat version is X.
Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
We have disabled printing and copying.
Please help

You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

Comment toolbars in Acrobat Reader apparently changing in a Random fashion

I am coming across a problem with Reader Extension Enabled documents that are produced from Adobe Livecycle. On occasions the comment and markup tool bar changes with certain tools (notably the sticky note) appearing and others (Attach comment as file) disappearing. this happens between sessions of Reader being opened. It also appears to be random in it's timing and occurrence
Has anyone come across this sort of problem?

We haven't come across a cause or resolution for this. The only things we have discovered are:
The commenting toolbar resets to the default tools (Windows registry entries disappear)
It doesn't happen on every desktop or laptop
It doesn't happen every time
We have been unable to reproduce it in tests
Sorry I can't be of further help at this time

How to add the "comment and markup toolbar" in adobe reader 9

Hi there, I've been trying to add the comment and markup toolbar in acrobat reader 9 but I simply cannot do it. I've tried both the Tools and View menus but I cannot add this particular toolbar. Does anyone know the reason? What can I do to get this toolbar? Even when in a pdf document commenting is not allowed, Should'nt I be able at least to see the toolbar unavailable?
Many thanks,
Enrique

Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

Hide Tools pane in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

How can I permanently hide the options that appear on the right side of my screen when I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open a document or image I've saved on my desktop screen?

Solution by tmmcentyre. It works for me.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1817184
Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.

How to disable Acrobat reader toolbar permanently when rendering PDF with Adobe Reader in-browser

Hi ,
I am using Adobe Reader to view my pdf files which is embedded in the HTML page and running as an activex. I need to disable the toolbar like share the content as email link /attachment for the security reason. I am able to find a way to hide the Acrobat toolbar but it is visible by just pressing F8.
Can anyone please suggest a way to disable the toolbar permanently.
Thanks in Advance.
Jobin.

Hi Bernd Alheit,
when I try to open a PDF in a browser and attaching the query string as #toolbar=0 makes the toolbar hidden. But in my case I am rendering the form using a formservice - renderPDFForm method with XDP format file as a input file. So I cant use the toolbar=0 option, since there is no url. Rather I have used the javascript code in the form designer to hide the toolbar. app.toolbar =false ; But this particular code is not working for acrobat reader X version. Can you please help me how to hide the tool bar.
Thanks,
Dhamo

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

Hide bookmarks toolbar while surfing. My screen is little and I want space to read

I would like the tolbar to act like the chrome one. Where is it noly available when opening a new tab.
Is there a way to do this? Hide the toolbar, temporary hide it or something.
I was using one addon but it made the close and maximize buttons all glitchy, and It didn't distinct between navigation and bookmarks toolbar, so the two where hidden, and Idon't want that.

Move your mouse to the top of Firefox at the same level as the tabs,
in an open area. Then right click. you can turn on or off the toolbars
as you please. You can also visit the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Firefox add-ons web site.] Firefox add-ons web site.''''' One add-on
to check out is '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabs-always-in-titlebar/?src=external-Add-ons_Manager_Context_Menu-extension Tabs Always In Titlebar] '''''. I forget its name, but there is an add-on that
will hide all the toolbars until you move your mouse to the top of the page.

How do I Reveal/Hide Hidden Layers for viewing with Acrobat Reader (iPad)?

Hi,
I've created a document in Quark Xpress with multiple layers which I then exported to a PDF. Using Acrobat Pro I created hotspots which revealed/hid these layers on rollover. It works perfectly on the desktop version of Acrobat Reader but not on Acrobat Reader for iPad (where the hidden layers are automatically switched on and touching the hotspots does not hide them). Does anybody know a good work around to this?

There are many features which are possible in the desktop version of Adobe Reader which won't work in Reader for tablets. I think this is one of them. Probably no workaround possible until the feature is updated.

Customize Acrobat Reader Toolbar

Hello,
with some settings in the registry in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral\cCommonToolsDesktop] (Acrobat Reader 10.0.1) and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars (Acrobat Reader 9.4.4) I managed to create a companydefault toolbar for all our users. They often use tools like RotateCCW, RotateCW or Wireframe. This works fine and users are happy.
But if Acrobat Reader is executed as a Browser Plugin in IE, Firefox or SAP Gui the Reader starts with the adobe-default toolbars.
Where can I configure the toolbars when the Reader is executed as a browser plugin or in SAP Gui.
thank you.
Albert

Sorry, I have found this forum in google and have not seen that there is an reader forum.
How can I move the thread?

Hide the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar

For my Livecycle Designer ES document, I only want the Acrobat Reader end users to use my buttons (SAVE, PRINT, EXIT) rather than the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar to access the same functions. My buttons contain various java scripts that are necessary for form completion. If they bypass these buttons using the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar (example: File, Print), then the form will not capture the data properly.
Is there a way to hide the Acrobat Reader Menu bar for my specific form through a built in function in Livecycle ES or is there a java script that can be used to hide the Reader Menu Bar?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I am fairly sure that you cannot access the presence of the Menu Bar. I have tried here but can't get it to work.
An alternative would be to open the form full screen. When you do this the cursor changes into a click advance (to next page), but you can also turn this off.
An example is here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
I appreciate that the user can elect not to go into full screen or can escape out of it, but it is a rough workaround.
The following in the docReady event should work:
app.execMenuItem("FullScreen");
app.fs.clickAdvances = false;
Good luck,
Niall

File browser crashes every time browsing directories within Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader

Hello,
I am experiencing a bug. Every time I try to browse directories within application (ex. adding an attachement in Thunderbird, or Savin As within Acrobat Reader), that file borwser crashes.
But for Microsoft Word, which seems to use other module for Saving (I am assuming that, becouse that "save as" window looks different), there is no such problem.
Anybody else is experiencing such crashes?
Cheers,
-marek

I'm experiencing the same problem.. haven't found a solution yet. It drives me crazy.

I installed the latest Acrobat Reader (11) and every time I try to do a Save As, it crashes the entire Adobe program closing all files. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still crashes.

I installed the latest Acrobat Reader (11) and every time I try to do a Save As, it crashes the entire Adobe program closing all files. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still crashes.

Hi Bryan ,
It happens when you save it as an Adobe PDF or a normal PDF?
Happens with all the files or any specific one?
What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
Try updating it to the latest one if it is an older one.
You may also want to uninstall and re install it to check.
Let us know how it goes.
