Loaded to the brim with features, Acrobat 9 has something for everyone. Need to deliver a video? Acrobat's got you covered. Want to send a friend a poster, images and a recording from that great performance you attended? Acrobat can do that. Need to send out a form so your customers can fill out your survey with the responses tracked automatically? Need Full screen presentations that will play on a Mac or Linux machine? Acrobat, Acrobat!
With all of these amazing "super features," Acrobat's interface can become a bit cluttered, and therefore distracting if you want to simply read the text of a PDF document. Here is a screenshot of what Acrobat looks like on my computer on any given day:
There are toolbars and navigation panels everywhere, and although they are useful they can get in the way of reading the words on the page. One way to minimize clutter is to use Acrobat's Reading Mode. Either choose View > Reading Mode or press the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] [H] (I think Hide).
Once in Reading Mode, the navigation panels vanish, the toolbars go away, and you are left with essentially an electronic piece of paper on your screen.
If you were to press [Ctrl] [h] again, you would quickly find yourself back in your original view.
Believe it or not, Acrobat is loaded with wonderful features like Reading Mode. Interested in learning more? Join me online and learn, hands-on, how to unlock the power of Acrobat. Click here for more details.
