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!

  • Reader XI - How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default?

    Every time I open a pdf I have to manually hide the Navigation Pane as it is taking up valuable real estate on my screen. Is there a way to hide it by default in Reader XI? I've seen it mentioned elsewhere but I've failed to find a satisfactory answer.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi rammo123,
    For Adobe Reader XI, I change the below mentioned registry key
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.11\shell\Read\command
    To read:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "navpanes=0" "%1"

  • How can I hide the Navigation Input (at least the URL) in Firefox 29.0?

    I need to hide it for demonstrations to prevent attendees from browsing to a site while I'm showing it. This new release is not as clean looking when all the toolbars are unchecked. A minimal mode with tabs only would be helpful...the previous release was very good for this.

    Note that in previous Firefox versions it was still possible to bring up a replacement toolbar via Ctrl+L, so this version is actually better in this respect.<br />
    This code has been removed in Firefox 29 because you can't hide the Navigation Toolbar.
    Note that using an extension or code in userChrome.css can be overridden by starting Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key when starting or the item in the Help menu.
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

  • How do I hide the search pane which is now permanently in my "All My Files" Finder window?

    It is somehow stuck on appearing - Search: "This Mac"  or  "All My Files" and when I 'hide search criteria', it doesn't disappear.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Thanks so much!

    For anyone else that may have a similar issue, I'd wanted to restart for a while but was waiting for a bunch of software to install.  It turns out that a simple restart did the trick!!  Glad to know an easy fix for this in the future!

  • How can I hide the Event Index by default in Connect 9 recordings?

    We do not use the Event index in our recordings, and the fact that it is open when the recording launches for anyone who views it, is problematic.  We embed the recordings on our website, and it is messing up the embeds (the Event Index is taking up too much space.)  Is there a way to make it hidden by default in Connect 9 recordings?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kerry,
    Did you find a solution on this issue? I have the same problem.

  • 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.

  • Sequence of free characteristic in the Navigation pane

    Hi Experts,
    How can we specify a sequence to the free characteristics in the navigation pane in WAD (BI 7)
    for eg: i have to specify: in the wad like this
    1. Zone manager
    2. Area manager
    3. Region manager
    4. District manager
    As of now i only see one option, which alphabetically sorts it out, but i dont want that. I need to specify as per the above sequence.
    Points would be rewarded suitably.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Its the standard way the SAP behaves. Maybe you have to live with it.
    The only way around i can suggest is to have the following desc either starting with numbers or with alphabets:
    1. Zone manager
    2. Area manager
    3. Region manager
    4. District manager
    OR
    a. Zone manager
    b. Area manager
    c. Region manager
    d. District manager

  • Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

    Hi everyone--
    I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
    Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
    Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
    Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me. 
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
    Heather

    Dear Heather,
    I don't know the specific answer to your question.
    But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
    My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
    They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • Controlling the Navigation Pane from Topic links

    I've followed Rick Stone's instructions (in his Skinny on Skins tips file) for controlling the navigation pane from topic links, but I've included the reference to whtbar.js in my Master Page (as I want it to be available to all my topics) instead of in a single topic in my WebHelp output. It works fine, however, I'm experiencing a page flicker whenever I click a link which opens the TOC, Index, Glossary, etc. Does anyone know if this can be avoided?
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi Willam
    No your method still works fine thanks (without any page flicker). However, it only opens and closes the navigation pane. What I've been playing around with is the idea of hiding the standard WebHelp toolbar by setting its height to zero in the .SKN and then creating my own toolbar in a Master Page that controls the navigation pane, i.e. with Home, Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary links. That way I have more control over how the toolbar looks and, for example, I can use some script to power drop-down menus, etc. I've been looking at using the Bootstrap framework.
    I seems to work okay, apart form the annoying page flicker when I use the links in my custom toolbar.
    Oh well, maybe I'm trying to push the boundaries a little too far?!
    Thanks anyway,
    Jonathan

  • Microsoft Word 2010 Hiding/Removing the Navigation Pane for Roaming Profiles

    Hello all,
       I am attempting to do what the title says.  We are using Citrix Profile Manager...basically roaming profiles and when updating the Office version to 2010,  users are displayed the Navigation Pane.  If the NavPane is closed,
    when they reopen their Citrix session it is back to default displaying the NavPane.  Any help on getting this removed would be greatly appreciated.
    I have so far attempted to create a macro Normal.dotm and works partially, however it is not consistent as each time it appears that the modified Normal.dotm becomes overwritten with a default one.  I have also added this modified Normal.dotm to the
    Default user profile locally on the server...to which it does not seem to pull.
    Update: 
    I am currently looking to see on how to redirect the Normal.dotm away from %appdata%\microsoft\templates to a central location and have this applied to all users either user GPO or a per machine setup....but can't find anything specifically for Word 2010
    configuration.  Any help on this would also be beneficial.

    Regarding the Navigation Pane.  The setting for displaying it is indeed in the Windows Registry but it is part of a binary data key and thus mere mortals like us are not able to change it. You need a macro... see this link for an example.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/bb6268ac-546b-4118-87fa-21f6fd2cecbc/word-navigation-pane-open-by-default
    Regarding changing the location of Word's Normal template via GPO it can be done. See below link. However, as is pointed out in the link, the recommendation is not to do so. If the central location server is down, no one will be able to create documents.
    In addition, if someone accidentally or purposely alters/corrupts the Normal template... everyone is effected.

  • Using custom fonts in the Navigation pane

    Hi
    I'm using custom fonts in my webhelp. To do this, I created a folder for the web versions of the custom fonts and put it in the same folder as my css. I then added the font face elements to the top of my css (in Notepad). Next I used the custom font name for all the style defined in the css (in Notepad). That makes the content of the topics use the custom font. All good.
    Next, I edited the htt file (in Notepad) to use the name of the custom font. Now the breadcrumbs and topic footer use the custom font. All good.
    Finally, I want to use the custom font in the navigation pane (the text next to the books and page icons). I edited the skn file (in Notepad) to use the custom font. I also added a dependency for my css to the bottom of the skn file. Then I generated the webhelp.
    When I launch the help, the browser (IE) doesn’t allow running scripts or ActiveX controls (this is normal). At this point, the TOC in the Navigation pane looks like it uses the correct font. Once I click to allow IE to run scripts, etc. the font in the TOC changes to something that looks like Times or some default serif font.  So, it appears that something in the javascript is changing the font.
    For good measure, I checked the whtdhtml file and the custom font name is used there.
    Any ideas on what's happening and how to get my custom font to appear in the Navigation pane?
    BTW, I use images only in the toolbar pane (that spans the top of the webhelp window), so I don't need to specify the custom font there.
    Deborah

    Hi William
    I found one error. In the skin file, I had added a dependency to my css. It was missing a slash (/) to point to the correct folder level. Now that I've added that, the TOC displays the same font as the Index, Search results, and the topic (content, breadcrumbs, and footer). So, that's good, but on closer inspection, it looks like Verdana, not my custom font.
    I changed the font in whthost.js to the name of my custom font and generated the help, but it made no difference. I also changed the font and just opened the help without generating and got the same results.
    For your second suggestion, you mean whtdhtml.htm not whtdhtml.js? The custom font is in the lines:
    setFont("Normal", "MyFont","10pt","Black","Normal","Normal","none");
    setFont("Hover", "MyFont","10pt","#004080","Normal","Normal","underline");
    I added the <font> tag to this file, but the tag just shows up as plain text within the webhelp TOC (no matter where I insert it in the file).
    I also tried changing the font to my custom font for the Index body and Search results using the steps in Rick's Skinny on Skins (editing the whibody.htm and whfbody.htm files). When I do this, the serif font appears in the Index body and Search results.
    It seems like the files cannot "see" my custom fonts (which are in a folder at the same level as my css).

  • 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?

  • 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.
