Modify the Quick Tools bar in Reader XI

I am an IT administrator looking to customize my deployment of Adobe Reader XI. Specifically, I need a toolbar button from the Comments pane (in this case, the Stamps button) to always display in the top, Quick Tools bar.
First, before people say it, I understand that Reader does not have a GUI to add items to the Quick Tools bar. However, in Reader X, you could modify the registry and still be able to add items to the Quick Tools bar.
In fact, Adobe has it documented! In their Enterprise Toolkit for Acrobat Products (ETK), they link to a Preference Reference page, which they describe with "Use this dictionary of 500+ registry and plist preferences to fine tune your product." Well, I am trying to use it, particularly the registry key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral\ under cFavoritesCommandsDesktop. You can find the link for this here - http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/AVGeneral.html#idkeyname _1_4203 .
Under supported version number, it clearly states that it works with 10.0 and later. Additionally, it shows both a Reader and Acrobat Pro icon.
However, it does not work for Reader version 11.
Despite Adobe's official IT Enterprise guide stating this, I'm thinking this is a typo and they in fact do not support this in version 11.
I just need some verification:
Is there a way to customize the top Quick Tools bar in Adobe Reader XI, or was this feature removed when Adobe went from version X to XI?
To reiterate, I am aware that you can make this change in Acrobat Pro X as well as Acrobat Pro XI, and Arobat Pro X gave you a GUI interface to make those changes (in fact, the Preference Reference site I linked before mentioned that Pro has a GUI interface for this!), but Reader X still let you make this change by modifying the registry.
Thanks in advance for any help in this.

Another question I want to throw out there (since it seems very likely that there is not a way to change the Quick Tools bar in Reader XI) is:
Can you change which "pane" is selected on the right side when Reader XI is launched?
I'm not 100% sure if pane is the right term, but when you open Reader XI, Tools, Sign, and Comment are shown on the right side. Later, if you open a PDF, Extended is also shown. Right now, Tools is always open when you open a PDF, or open Reader XI. If I can't customize the Quick Tools, at least I should be able to tell Reader which right-side pane to default to when Reader is opened, shouldn't I?
Again, searching the Preference Reference doesn't turn up anything definitive. A few entries looked slightly promising, bcommentPanelOnImport being one of them, but no matter the combination, Tools always defaults when Reader is opened.
So, to get more specific,
Can I have the Comment pane open by default when Reader XI is launched, as opposed to the Tools pane?
Thanks again in advance.

Sounds that you installed a Persona.
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

CS4 is missing the Pagemaker tool bar, is there an equivilant?

I did read in the description that the Pagemaker Tool bar (was renamed to something else for CS3) was removed totally from CS4. Is there any equivilant tool bar in CS4 that gives a lot of the same options like open and save buttons? I also used the increase and decrease all fonts button and the zoom in and out buttons all the time. Now it is forcing the user to go into the dropdowns to do a lot of the same stuff now which are extra steps. If there is nothing in CS4 like this anymore, are there any plugins to create something similar out there?

I don't know the answer to your toolbar question -- but all of the functions you mention have simple keyboard shortcuts, which are (in my experience) much quicker and easier to use than toolbar buttons (or menus), and keep me from excess mousing and repetitive motion injuries. And the lack of a toolbar gives me more screen real estate for doing actual work. If you do, in fact, use these commands "all the time," it's probably worth your time to at least try them. On the Mac, command-shift-angle-brackets increases or decreases type size of selected text by an amount you set in preferences; open and save are command-O and command-S; zooming is done with command-hyphen and command-equals (think minus and plus), and command-zero fits the page to the window.
The standard toolbar does at least have a place you can click to resize the currently selected text -- the little arrows next to the current font size.

How can I edit / delete items in the "Ask" tool bar? (e.g. I want to get rid of Facebook and You Tube)

I would like to control what items appear on the Ask tool bar and in what order they are displayed. In particular, I would like to get rid of the Facebook, YouTube, CNN, and Fun Games buttons which I see on this tool bar.

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

The address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from my web page as soon as I log on. The leaves me with no way to enter a web address or navagate.

When I attempt to use Firefox, the address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from view as soon as I start the program. I can see the scrolling our of view at the top of my screen. This leaves me with no way to enter a web address, navigate or even exit the program.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?

I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed. I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar). The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar. In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy. Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
Thanks.

One further question...
I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue. That led me to this (failed) solution:
this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   oIcon: flatIcon,
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently. Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script? Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script.

Can I enlarge the text in the safari tool bar

I am operating 10.10. I would like to use a larger font for the text in the safari tool bar. I have not problem enlarging the content in the web pages, but I would like to use a larger font on the tool bar. Is that possible, and I how do I do it.
Thanks.

Not from any setting in Safari. You can upscale the display in the Display settings.
Click the Apple in the top left of your main display. Click System Preferences. In 'Display,' make changes. There is no setting to change any font size setting in Safari, aside from the page display font size in Safari.

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
(I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

A Problem with the Quick Find Bar

Hi,
I’ve added the following line to userChrome.css, and FF opens the Quick Find Bar with the ‘Find Next’ and ‘Find Previous’ buttons.
.findbar-container > * { display:-moz-box !important; }
With Those buttons, there isn’t enough space in the Quick Bar, and when the description ‘End of Page’ (etc) shows – it is only partially displayed.
How do I change the label text from ‘Quick Search:’ to ‘Find:’?
And apropos the Find Bar.
I have a toolbar button which toggles the Find Bar on and off.
I’d like that button to be checked when the Find Bar is visible, and unchecked when it is hidden.
I’ve added the following line to an xul file, and it works perfectly.
<command id="cmd_find" oncommand="gFindBar.onFindCommand();
setFindCkeckState();"/>
For some reason, FF ignores the "cmd_findClose" id.
<command id="cmd_findClose" oncommand="gFindBar.close(); setFindCkeckState
();"/>
Why? Is it possible to add an Event Listener for the Find bar being opened or closed?
Can I check and uncheck that button in a css file? (That would be better).
Thanks.

I use this command in a PrefBar button to toggle the Find bar on/off
<pre><nowiki>if (gFindBar.hidden) gFindBar.onFindCommand(); else gFindBar.close();</nowiki></pre>
