Navigate The Acrobat Workspace / Customize Acrobat

Now let's talk about some of the ways you can customize Acrobat to suit your working preferences. Now first and foremost, when you're familiar with Acrobat, again as I mentioned in the previous lesson, you can disable the show ‘How To” window start up and gain more working space. Secondly, you can float any toolbar that you commonly use. You can also rearrange the order of the toolbars to suit your working preference. and have every thing right where you prefer it and you can also close a toolbar that you are not using. Disable toolbar labels and pretty much set things up, the way you want them. And another thing you can customize is the look of the navigation pane. Everything is laid out neatly and in order but you have other navigation tabs at your disposal. And we'll get into these in upcoming lessons, but you also have articles, content, destinations, fields and tags. If you use a particular navigation tab frequently, you can display it within the workspace, you can also take a tab from the navigation pane and drag it into the workspace, or take a tab that you have accessed using a menu command and click and drag it into the navigation tab. And when you close Acrobat and re-launch it, everything will be right where you left it. I'm just going to rearrange this here because this is not how I commonly work. And when I put pages back in, notice it goes to the bottom. Here, everything’s setup right as it was, and this is just one way you can customize Acrobat to suit your working preferences, and as I mentioned before another thing that I would do if you're a fan of keyboard shortcuts is to enable the keyboard shortcuts using the preference command that I showed you in an earlier lesson. And I’ll just show you another option here for, here I have clicked Z for zoom, and I am going to click D which is another keyboard shortcut, that will access my rectangle commenting tool. And those are just a couple ways you can customize Acrobat to suit your working preferences.
