    What's Your Status?

    You can navigate between pages using the navigation controls, or change the viewing layout. You can also choose a viewing method, such as full-screen. Special features of the document, such as layers or security, are indicated by icons at the left of the Status bar.

    • The Main menu. The Main menu across the top of the program contains common headings like File and Edit, as well as Acrobat 7 Professional headings such as Advanced and Document.

    • Toolbars. Acrobat contains a wide variety of toolbars; most items found in toolbars are available as menu commands as well. An icon with a pull-down arrow to the right indicates that a subtoolbar is available.

    • Task buttons. You can access a variety of tasks and functions for a specific type of work such as creating a PDF or signing a document using the task buttons.

      Look Before You Touch

      You can modify the screen displaytoolbars, Navigation pane tabs, and so on. But before you do, familiarize yourself with the contents. Click the pull-down arrows to see what's in a subtoolbar, for example. Click a tab in the Navigation pane to see its contents and click its Options menu to learn what you can do in the pane. Checking out Acrobat's default offerings may help you as you learn to work with the program.

    • Navigation pane. The tabs along the left side of the program window make up the Navigation pane. The options on these tabs let you manage and control the content of your PDF document.

    • Document pane. An open PDF document displays in the Document pane. The document's page size and scroll bars frame the bottom and right side of the Document pane.

    • Status bar. Below the Document pane you see the number of the visible page as well as the total page count and controls for moving between pages.

    • How To. The How To pane, displayed at the right of the screen, contains links to common tasks as well as the program's complete Help files. You can increase the width of the pane from its default size, but you can't decrease it.
