Hide navigation pane of adobe reader through scripting

Hi.. I'm looking for a script to hide the navigation pane of the adobe reader through scripting, is there any way I can achieve that?
my main objective is to restrict user from attaching a file by using navigation pane because I'm already giving buttons to attach a file on the pdf and I want user to attach a file ONLY using buttons on the pdf. Can I achieve this by any other way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can hide all panes with this script in the docReady:event.
     event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:1};

  • How to lock ''Navigation Pane'' in Adobe Acrobat Standard 9

    Hello everyone, I want the Navigation Pane in Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 locked. I want the navigation pane lock in this position. Can it be possible ?

    thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
    Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

    I cannot log into Adobe Reader through my iphone using the Adobe ID and password which work on the website.

    Hi Will,
    That's great that you could sign in now.
    I think issue you faced in signing was because email verification was not done before. And when you signed from web client, you might have received a note asking you to do verification. It solved the logging issues you were facing on iPhone as well.

  • Hiding Navigation Pane in Adobe Acrobat/Reader 8.x

    Is there some way to hide the navigation pane programmatically ? I know that you can set this as a PDF document property, but that doesn't do me any good. Why is there a way to hide the tool bar and a way to tell the PDF to be viewed without bookmarks and thumbnails, but no way to hide the navigation pane?

    Leonard,
    I've developed APIs before on various products I have worked on over the past 27+ years in software development. When I built those APIs I tried to expose a consistent set of functionality out of the gate, that I thought would benefit folks who were trying to leverage our APIs. Being able to show/hide various UI components, at a minimum, is a big win. Why some components have this functionality exposed and others done, seems puzzling to me. And omission, really. There are 10 posts in this thread and I have seen others in this forum asking the same exact question. Are API requests derived from this forum? I kind of assumed that since you worked for Adobe, one of the tasks that a forum monitor/forum moderator does is pass useful customer feedback onto the development group. If this is not the case and I need to "formally" request this somewhere else, please let me know where such a mechanism exists.
    What are the chances that "requests" get implemented? I needed this functionality yesterday, not a release or two from now.

  • How do I turn turn off the right pane in Adobe Reader XI?

    I have been using Adobe Reader since 2007, and recently I have been unable to turn off the right pane while reading. If anyone knows how I can deal with this problem, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    How To Turn Off The Right Pane
    To stop the "Tools|Comments" sidebar from automatically opening every time you open a PDF so that you can view your PDF in full screen, this solution worked for me on both my desktop PC and laptop.
    This is the solution:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 64-bit) or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 32-bit)
    Find and Delete these 2 files: DEXShare.spi and DEXEchoSign.spi
    Yes, you will still see the word "Tools| Comments" at the top but at least your PDFs will open in full screen and you won't have to click "Tools" to hide that stupid sidebar every time you open a PDF.

  • How do I open .dll files automatically with Adobe Reader through Firefox?

    Hi,
    When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.
    When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
    Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    Steve

    That worked, thank you!
    I quit out of Firefox, renamed the file like you said, restarted my computer, and restarted Firefox.
    When I went to download a label, Firefox asked me which application to use, and I picked Adobe Reader. I also checked the box to make that the default. This automatically opened the file in AR, and then when I did it the next time it worked perfectly.
    Again, thank you so much for your help with this - although it's just a bit of time here and there saved it really adds up!
    Take care!

  • How do I remove a navigation pane in acrobat reader XI

    How do I remove at all a navigation pane on the left  in acrobat reader XI? It is really very annoying remove it hundred times using the right mouse button.

    Every time I open a new pdf file, there a navigation bar appears on the left (see screen). I do not need it and it really bothers when I working by place two parallel windows on the screen. For sure it can be removed by clicking the right mouse button. But it must be done every time, and it tires.
    How can I make this navigation bar does not appear, I do not know. I looked on the internet, but found nothing. Probably, in principle, developers could leave the pane on the machine on default, but to make an easy way to remove it and save the settings for the future opening new files.

  • Hide navigation pane

    I am using Webhelp (generated from RH5), and want to open the
    help from the application with the navigation pane hidden. The pane
    would be shown if the user chooses Contents, Index or Search. How
    do I do this?

    Thanks Colum. Th approach of hiding the pane when the first
    topic opens
    nearly works, except that (1) hiding the pane when any topic
    loads is not good because if the uer has opened the pane it should
    stay open when the topic is changed, and (2) hiding the pane when a
    specific topic loads is not good because context-sensitive
    integration with the application means that we do not know in
    advance what the first topic will be. (In addition, the pane
    disappears again whenever the user navigates to the specific topic,
    which can be irritating.)
    What I really want is to open the help system (at any topic)
    with the pane hidden, and thereafter leave pane control entirely in
    the hands of the user. I suppose the application programmer might
    be able to do something with the way the help system is called from
    the application.

  • Set firefox to open pdf documents in adobe reader via script or GPO

    I am trying to change the settings of 400+ Windows 7 PCs with 2-10 users per PC. They all use Firefox and Adobe Reader XI. I would like to know how to use the Mozilla Administrative Template or how to create a GPO to change the default pdf viewer in Firefox to Reader XI. i need a way to be able to configure it so when a user logs into the PC via our domain login Firefox will be automatically configured to open PDF's from Firefox in an Adobe Reader window, otherwise we have to manually configure it and that gets very frustrating after the 2nd PC

  • How can I insert watermark in printing document by ADOBE Reader through Windows API hooking?

    Hi. I'm now trying to hook windows API to insert watermark image when printing a document.
    It works fine with MS Word, PowerPoint, Notepad and Mspaint except Adobe Reader when I hooked EndPage API calls to insert watermark image.
    And all the progress looks work well from the log but i can't insert the watermark image.
    Then i tried it with another PDF viewer, it was work well except only ADOBE Reader.
    Any suggestions will be helpful to me.
    Thank you.

    Ask in the Reader forum. However, the process should be a property of the print driver for your printer, not Reader.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to hide Tools pane in the Reader?

    I am trying to remove all modes of communication from the users, so they can't Save, print email e.t.c., however, the Tools pane is not customizable. Is there any way to remove or disable Tools pane? Is there any common guide to FeatureLockDown registry keys?

    There is no way to force interface changes on other systems with a PDF. You can "protect" a PDF to prevent viewers from making any changes
    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-protect-p df-file-with-permissions-tutorial-ue.pdf
    That said, there is always a way around it and short of applying DRM to your PDFs, if someone wants to badly enough, they'll find a way to "crack" your protection.

  • Adobe Reader updater script error - download of reader does not occur

    When accessing a web page that tries to display a PDF document, Firefox says my plugin needs to be updated and offers to do that. I download the updater and run it and it comes up with a dialog box with the info below. Interestingly, even though I am running Firefox, the dialog box is "Internet Explorer Script Error" box. Note I can still view the PDF document by closing the Firefox notification bar that my plugin needs to be updated.

  • Navigation Pane Buttons hide keyboard shortcut in Acrobat 9?

    In Acrobat 8 it was really annoying to disable the navigation pane buttons by mouse.<br /><br />Is there any chance in Acrobat 9? (At the moment I'm not using Acrobat 9.) (The pdf's are saved e.g. to open with bookmark pane. Pressing <F4> makes the bookmark pane disappear but not the pane buttons.)<br /><br />(And please no tips like "save the pdf". These PDFs I'm _not_ allowed to change in any way. And please no tips like "restore last view". This is true for PDFs I have reviewed but not for new ones.)<br /><br />Background: I need to review PDFs and sometimes copy some pages in a new document.<br /><br />(And it would be great to have _small_ buttons in the toolbar as in Acrobat Professional Vers. 4 for Macintosh...)
