Windows 7, Adobe XI Reader, Navigation Pane

How do I hide the Navigation Pane (also known to me as the Navigation Pain) as the default, not with using F4 every time I open a document?
This is for Adobe XI Reader only, using Windows 7, on a computer on which I don't have administrator rights.
I need to know a method that involves setting options available to a general user, not an administrator, and does not involve any kind of "scripting" or editing the registry (because I'm not an administrator).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this reply. Alas, this is something that I will need administrator rights to set up. However, if I ever install Adobe Reader XI on a home computer, this will be very helpful to me.
I had actually seen this solution before.
In Windows XP, I was able to go into Windows Explorer, choose Tools, and then choose Folder Options to get to a place where I could add this information to the Adobe Reader XI launch information. But in Windows 7, Folder Options is gone, replaced by something called Default Programs. Default Programs doesn't allow changing of launch information.
In my Adobe Reader XI shortcut properties, there is a box called "Start In". I tried putting the line with the "navpanes" option there, but it was ignored.
Also, on some programs, I can change the Maximized/Minimized/Normal property, but for Adobe Reader XI, it requires being an Administrator.
I hope that Adobe will consider, in future releases, making the display or non-display of the Navigator Pain either a user preference option or something in which the most recent use is remembered.between sessions!
Thanks again for your help.

  • Adobe X Standard Navigational Pane

    I am in the process of purchasing Adobe X, and need to see if the Navigational Pane works the same way in Adobe X Standard and Professional.  With Adobe X Standard, are you able to have two pdf's open at the same time in seperate windows, and drag and drop between PDF documents?  Also, would PDF documents saved in Adobe 9 Pro be able to open and be edited (drag and drop pages) with Adobe X Standard?
    Thanks

    Can someone by chance try this today with Adobe X Standard?  I need to get this ordered this afternoon if possible.
    Thanks!

    Could someone tell me how the Navigation pane which is on the left side of the workspace can be relocated to the bottom of the workspace.

    The Navigation pane cannot be moved. It will always be on the left.

  • 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};

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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"

  • Navigation Pane Spacing with Access 2010 in Windows 8.1

    I am currently using Access 2010 in Windows 8.1 and have huge vertical spacing in the Access 2010 navigation pane.  In looking through other issues of this type, others have been able to fix it by going into the quick access toolbar and switching from
    touch mode to mouse mode.
    However, in Access 2010 there is no quick toolbar option for touch mode.  As it is, I can only see about 10 navigation pane items when I used to be able to see 20 or 30.  I run fairly complex databases and this is a major slowdown.
    Any ideas that do NOT involve updating to Access 2013?  All my other Office 2010 apps seem to be working fine - just Access has the issue.

  • Navigation pane will not stay closed and covers main window

    Using RoboHelp Version 7.0.3 to produce FlashHelp - ongoing project that I've been working on for quite some time.
    Just noticed this:
    I launched the Help from the application with an F1. I then closed the navigation pane in the Help output and resized the window to be tall, narrower, so I could view Help and the application window side-by-side. When changing focus between windows the SECOND time I bring focus back to the open Help window, the navigation pane reappears on its own. And it COVERS the left side of the main window, there is no horizontal scroll at the bottom, and you cannot close the navigation pane at this point. Instead, you must exit the Help and relaunch it from the application to return to a usable state, where the nav pane appears on the left and the Help topic appears on the right with appropriate scroll bars, etc.
    I showed my developers this and we were able to recreate several times. Their guess is it's a problem in the javascript... Is there a fix for this? Sure looks like bug.

    I'm running the latest iTunes on my Windows XP system, and it keeps restarting unless I do a force termination (in windows terminology, I have to end the process in the Task Manager).
    This automatic restarting is so annoying that I end up killing the windows process, and it won't start again until i reboot the computer.
    Oh, and this has been going on for well over a year, with other versions of iTunes. And I'm not sharing the contents assuming that sharing would try to force iTunes to stay open. So I removed the sharing of my iTunes library to no avail.
    Apple can hardly expect to be the best choice for everyone if they don't have solutions to these obvious problems. Obvious because i've seen this complaint appear for the past 5 years, since 2007 and maybe earlier than that.
    Don't they know how to end a program cleanly?

  • Navigation Pane/Bookmarks question in Adobe 9

    Is there a way to have the navigation pane (bookmarks, specifically) open automatically on EVERY Adobe document opened on my computer?  I know that I can go into the 'Preferences' on a specific document and set the initial view to 'Bookmarks and Panel page', but I would like it to automatically open on every single Adobe .pdf that I open on my machine.  Does it depend on the creator of the document, and whether they have set the initial view in 'preferences' to 'bookmarks and panel page'?  Thanks!

    Thanks.  I am not at all comfortable using scripts.  I'll just fix it each time I open a doc.  I appreciate your help!
