Hiding navigation panes (side bar) using metadata or reader setting?

Hi all,
as the title already mentioned,
I'm trying to get a pdf file generated using JasperReport displayed in the reader (within web browser) without the side bar/Nav. pane.
At first I thought that should be done from the reader configuraton/setting, but then I found out that that's not completely correct.
I can indeed hide the sidebar by using the parameter navpanes=0 as part of the URL. But this works only for version 6.* upwards(?).
Now, I have in my hand 2 pdf files which I opened using the same reader (ver. 8). And one file is being shown with and the other without the sidebar.
Can anyone please help me with any hints/idea?
ps: I attached screenshots from both of the files. The one with sidebar has also darker grey background (which I think is normal) and the other one without has a lighter gray background
Thanks in advance
Regards
Brody

I wonder if anyone can tell me easily how to make the submenu's under the horizontal menu bar also appear horizontally?
This question is more suited to the Spry forum.

  • 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.

  • PDF tool bar used to open Reader.

    the pdf tool bar at the bottom of the screen used to let me open the current screen in Adobe Reader.  after the latest update, it now opens the file in Preview.
    is there a way to change this back so that it opens in Reader?

    When you have a lot of tabs open, Firefox stops showing the "x" on each tab. I think that was done so you could see more of the title. You still can close a tab by right-clicking it and choosing Close tab, or by pressing Ctrl+w to close it.
    Is that the "x" you meant or is it a different one?

  • Use of Font Sets in CHM Navigation Pane

    Hi everyone.
    One of our product suites is going to be published for the first time using WebHelp Pro as its primary output but with a CHM file as a backup in case the client's internet connection fails or isn't present.
    To cut a long story short we have setup a font set to use with our Webhelp Pro output that allows for both Windows and Apple Mac fonts. We have applied this to all our styles and are looking at other places where it can be used (e.g. skins). One of these is the Navigation Pane to be used in the CHM file. It seems like you can not use a font set when defining the font characteristics of the TOC and Index in the Advanced options of the Microsoft HTML Help single source layout.
    I know this is not really a problem as CHM files are only designed to be run on Windows PCs and the Windows fonts we are using as part of the font set are 99.9% percent likely to be installed. However I am more interested in how the fonts inside the navigation pane works. The fact that you can't specify a font set (i've checked this in RH8 and RHX5) would seem to indicate that the font setting is part of the compiled file, rendering a font set unnecessary in this instance. Either that or it is an oversight.
    Read the RoboColum(n).

    Hi Colum
    I stand to be corrected on this. Perhaps Pete Lees will pop in to confirm or deny.
    I don't believe Font Sets are even necessary for .CHM files. As they are Windows only, I'm not sure Microsoft saw any need to provide for using them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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.

  • 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...)

  • 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.

  • Add the "advanced search' button the navigation pane (left hand column Adobe Reader XI)

    Hi
    Is it possible to add the "advanced search' button the navigation pane (left hand column in Adobe Reader XI)? If yes, how is this done?
    Regards
    Andrew

    Thanks for your response.
    May you can forward this as to whoever looks after improving the Adobe product. It would be very useful to have it available on the navigation pane. At the moment the 'advanced search' feature opens up outside the PDF and is a pain to use.

  • Side Bar Appears On Top

    When I try to open any new html page my side bar appears on

  • 2004s Navigation Pane web item customization

    Hello. I have a question regarding the navigation pane web item using the Web Application Designer 7.0. In the 3.5 version we had the capability of selecting specific characteristics to include in our navigation blocks. For example, our data provider might be an ad hoc query with numerous free characteristics. However, in the web template we would only include a subset of those characteristics in our navigation block.
    Now when using the 7.0 tool it appears as though when adding the navigation pane web item I can only select rows, columns, query view, or free characteristics. Is my only option to create a query view on my base ad hoc query to limit the characteristics I want?
    Any advice on this particular web item would be sincerely appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Lynn Peter

    Lynn,
    I think what you may be after is called NAV_CHARACTERISTIC_SEL and is documented in the following page
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/16/3ee2416149c717e10000000a155106/content.htm
    From the SAP documentation this enhancement to the navigational pane should be available as part of SPS14.
    I hope this helps (we are also interested in this functionality.)
    Cheers
    Neal.

  • Want to remove scroll bar from navigation pane in Web Template

    HI All,
    I have a report created in WAD.When I am using navigation pane, I get a scroll bar there.
    I want to remove that scroll bar from navigation pane.Tried increasing the height in the property of same but nothing is helping.
    The expanded option should be ON and do not want to group characteristics shown in nav. pane.
    Please suggest, if there is any other way to do that.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    Why do you want to expand it? Generally when you click on Nav pane, it should show the assigned chars under it. No scroll bar comes up with  below settings:-

  • Relocated the search navigation pane from the left side to the right side of screen

    Hello my fellow Americans,
    I am creating a WebHelp product, and I would like to be able
    to move the placement of the
    Search navigation pane. By default, after the user presses
    the
    Search menu bar button; the system launches the routine on
    the left-hand side of the screen; I, on the other hand would like
    for the
    Search navigation pane to appear on the
    right-hand side of the screen.
    Any ideas on how to do this?
    Many thanks, mi amigos!

  • 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.

  • Hiding navigation bar and title in Excel

    Hi everyone,
    I want to export to excel using the standard functionality provided by BW, but I don't want the navigation bar and the title displayed (it distors column sizes and users have complained...). Is there any way to achieve this?
    Any ideas?
    Kind regards,
    Dionisios

    Hi Eugene,
    I have a web-based BW report (template) that I want to export to excel using the standard functionality provided by SAP. However, I only want the data (table) to be exported, not the navigation pane. You mentioned in an earlier post that you can have the navigation pane in one sheet and the result in another. Is this right? If so how can it be done?
    Hope this clarifies things a bit.
    Kind regards,
    Dionisios
