Getting Around Inside Acrobat / Customizing the Interface pt. 2

Subtitles of the Movie

Now how about customizing your navigation panels? Well I'm going to go to the View Menu and then down to Navigation Panels and I'll start off with articles. Here I'll open up my Articles Panel and my Articles Panel is grouped with my Destinations Panel as well and both are empty because we haven't really used them just yet. But what I could do is rather then having my Articles Panel as a Floating Navigation Panel, maybe I want to have it as a Docked Navigation Panel. In other words like my Bookmarks here. I want to have them locked to the interface. So all I would do is grab the actual text there that reads articles there and I would drag him over to the left-hand side, something like that and now articles is locked over to the left along with bookmarks and pages and signatures as well. So what I could do is drag destinations over to the left-hand side as well if I wanted to, something like this or what I could do is I could grab these icons and drag them straight out into the middle of my screen, something like this. Now I have a Floating Navigation Panel and I can do that with any of my Navigation Panels here. There's my Bookmarks as well. So now I have two Floating Navigation Panels. I could take the Destinations Panel and drop it into or group it with the Bookmarks Panel if I wanted to simply by grabbing the text there- Destinations and dragging it straight into Bookmarks, something like that- perfect. Now the other thing that I can do as well, I'll just point this out quickly here is I have another set of Navigation Panels way down in the bottom left corner. But these guys open up right across the bottom of my screen. So what I could do is I could take my Destinations, same story as before, drag them down into the bottom left area and now I have Destinations running right across my screen rather then vertically, up and down if that makes sense and of course I can do that with Bookmarks and with any other Navigation Panel that I have here inside Acrobat. So they can either be floating, running horizontally across my screen or vertically across my screen if I were to drag them up to the top left it that makes sense. Alright now I've made quite a mess out of all this, I'm just going to take a second and clean this up here a little bit, I don't need my Destinations, so I'll close him out and I don't need my articles either, so I'm going to pull him out and close him and I'll put bookmarks back where I found them. Alright and there's how to customize your Navigation Panels inside Acrobat.
