I believe that if the Bookmarks Panel is open, even the 1st time Reader user will click on a bookmark to see what it does. That same user might not even know to click on the Bookmark Panel's icon to snap it open.
How can you force any PDF file to open with the Bookmarks Panel showing? The switch is located on the Initial View section of the file's Properties Dialog Box. Choose File > Properties (the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-D or Cmd-D on the Macintosh). The very first option presented is labeled Navigation Tab. If this option is set to Page Only, that document will open with just the page content showing every time.
To force the Bookmarks Panel to be open every time the file is launched, change this to read Bookmarks Panel and Page. If you close the file and reopen it, you will see the Bookmarks Panel open automatically.
There are many other settings in this dialog box to explore, such as the Magnification & Page Layout options. You can even force your PDF file to open up without toolbars or the menu bar showing. Experiment and see how you can change the way the file opens after each tweak.
Don't let your PDF file be the one that doesn't get read thoroughly because the file's bookmarks were never discovered. You spent the time and effort making them, put them in your audiences view from the start.

And what if I do not have the Initial View panel in my Adobe Acrobat 9? Do I have some free version, and just need to purchase some commercial version to be able to have it?

PK- If you are using the free Adobe reader, you will not have these options available, but if you are using Acrobat Pro, you can go to File>Properties, and look for the Initial View tab. It should be there!

Pdf file created in Pro 6. Initial View is set to Full Screen in both Preferences and Document Properties. In Acrobat 5,6 & 7, it first goes to the normal window for a second, and then goes to Full Screen. In 8 & 9, same file goes to Full Screen immediately ???
Also, same file Executes a Menu Item in 5, 6 & 7, but fails to do so in 8 or 9 ??? Is this common? Ideas? Thanks in advance.
