Locking navigation pane - headings view in word/pdf

I'm converting word doc into a pdf and would like to have the navigation pane - headings view automatically displayed when opening the pdf. Right now I have to do it manually, i.e. open the pdf, go to view, select navigation pane, etc. Is there a way I can lock navigation pane view?
Thanks,
karolina

If by "headings" you mean bookmarks, you can set up the document to display them when it opens: File > Properties > Initial View > Navigation tab > Bookmarks Panel and Page

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.

Navigation Pane Doesn't Work

For some reason, the Navigation Pane in my MS Word doesn't work. I usually use the toggle from my quick access toolbar to toggle it on and off. It worked fine last night. This morning, I open the document and I hit Ctrl F to see the Navigation
Pane, but MS Word didn't respond. I tried to toggle in the quick access toolbar and there was no response. I went to the View and I tried the Navigation Pane toggle, but there was nothing. Anyone know how I can bring the Navigation Pane back?

Hi David,
Please also try deleting the Word Data registry subkey to see if the problem was caused by a damaged Word Data registry key.
Note When you delete the Word Data registry subkey, Word resets several options to their default settings. For example, Word resets the "most recently used file" list on the
File menu. Also, Word resets many settings that you customize in the
Options dialog box.
1. Exit all Office programs.
2. In Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap
Search. (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.) Type
regedit in the search box, tap or click Apps, and then tap or click
Run.
Or, in Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, click Start, click
Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
Word 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Data
Word 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data
Word 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
Word 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data
4. Click Data, and then click Export on the
File menu.
5. Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.
6. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click
Yes.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Start Word.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

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!

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.

Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

Photoshop has to have full administrator rights to have read/write access.
This means you need to run Photoshop CS5.1 in an Administrator account and set it up to "Run as Administrator."
1. Close Photoshop if it's open.
2. Right click on your Photoshop CS5.1 launch icon then select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu. (You will have to enter Admin Password if UAC is enabled to change this setting.)
3. Launch Photoshop CS5.
4. See if you create and save a document.
Even if you are in an Administrator account you have to do this as Vista's Admin account isn't really the Super Admin as it is in XP so you have to elevate the rights by selecting "Run as Administrator". This setting is sticky so you should only have to do this once. I am not sure why CS3 is suddenly acting as if it does't have Admin rights unless you are running it in a new account that isn't an administrator or maybe uninstalled (cleanScript?) then reinstalled.
If can't create or save a document, check that the account that Photoshop is in is an Administrator account.
To check if you are in an Administrator account...
1. Type user account in your Vista or Windows7 start search bar. (Start search bar is at the bottom of the panel that opens when you click the start Windows start globe located on the far left hand side of your Windows task bar.)
2. Click on "User Accounts" which should show up at the top of the list. This will open the dialog to User Accounts where you can "Change Your Account Type". If UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, you will need to enter the Admin password to change this setting.

Default Navigation Pane view after Insert From File

For some reason the Navigation Pane switches to the Page Thumbnails after the Insert From File command is used in Acrobat XI Professional. This did not happen in Acrobat 9, 7, 6, or 5.
I've looked through various help material and forums to see if this is a preference that can be changed (i.e., either not set a default and maintain current Navigation Pane view (the method of the previous versions), or set a default to something other than Page Thumbnails (e.g., Bookmarks)) and have not been able to find a solution.
I can use Insert from File up to 200 times in a day, and this little glitch is proving to be very frustrating.

Can I adjust the amount of detail in thumbnails / navigation pane?

We have started making pdfs from Word 2004 documents, via Distiller. Word>Print>Save as ps>Distiller and the amount of detail in the thumbnails (which are embedded) is very low. Sometimes I can't tell if there is content on the page or not (his is when I am looking at the Pages section of the navigation pane.
Our previous work process had us creating a ps file via Framemaker 7. In those pdf files the pages view had a lot of fine detail, but we won't be using Framemaker anymore, since it's been dropped for the Mac.
I'm not talking about the thumnail size... I've looked at them larger and it still has no detail, only with a larger view.
I've looked at all the Distiller, Acrobat, and Word settings and preferences to see if there's a setting or dialog that will help, but I can't find any.
Any ideas?

Have you tried exporting using the Save as PDF button on the lower left of the Print dialog box? I don't know if that will help, but it might.
I have not tried that, but I will. I always thought that going through Distiller gave you better quality. That's how I was converting the .ps files before that were created out of Framemaker.
Your page thumbnails are strange, though. Are you using Distiller to convert fonts to outlines or something? Text is suppose to stay as text to help thumbnail previews
I'm not converting fonts to outlines. It's very strange... there must be a setting in Distiller somewhere that I have mis-marked... I'll be darned if I can find it though.
I've included a shot of pages from a previous project, there is a distinct difference.

Locking Navigation Panels

We are having issues where users inadvertently move the docked navigation pane. Is there a way to programmatically lock the navigation pane to the left side of the screen and prevent end users from moving/undocking (floating) the pane?
We are using Acrobat 9 professional to create the PDF and the end users are using Reader 9 to open and view.
Thanks,
-Vaflyer

Not the answer I wanted to hear, but thank you for the response Bernd.
Maybe we can get Adobe to add that functionality to the next version. This request is actually in response to an error, where in Reader 9, once the user pulls the navigation pane (specifically the bookmarks) from the side (floating) and then closes reader. When they re-open Reader, they recieve an error. This error will not go away until the system is reimaged or the program re-installed.

Initial View set in PDF Document not working.

I have a PDF document w/Initial View in the Document Properties set to Navigation tab: 'Bookmarks panel and Page', and Open to page '1''. However, when I send this document out, the Initial View settings do not happen (The PDF opens to the page last accessed before the document was sent and the navigation pane does not display). Help - what am I missing or doing wrong when trying to distribute PDF?
I am using Acrobat X Pro.

It might be the settings in Acrobat that is causing the problem. Edit – Preferences…, under Categories select Documents. Uncheck Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

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 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!

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.
Sunaif

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

Want Navigation Pane to Default as Open in v8 Pro

Whenever a PDF is opened in v8 Pro, the Navigation Pane is closed.
My users want the Nav Pane to always be open.
How is this change best effected? Can this be done? And can different users have different defaults (Opened/Closed)?
Thank you.
Richard

User can set their "Preferences" that will be the default, but this can be overridden by the PDF's document properties 'Initial View'.
