Opening PDF documents

The creator of a PDF document can set the document to open in a variety of ways. For
example, a document might open to a particular page number, at a particular magnifi-
cation, or with the bookmarks or thumbnails visible.
If a document is set to open in Full Screen view, the toolbar, command bar, menu bar, and
window controls are not visible.You can exit Full Screen view by pressing Escape, if your
preferences are set this way, or by pressing Ctrl+L (Windows) or Command+L (Mac OS).
