pop-up menu, for example.

When you open Acrobat 9 Pro, the default program includes several ele-
ments (Figure 1). You can configure the Acrobat layout in a variety of
ways by adjusting the panel groupings and settings:
•
Menu items. The Main menu across the top of the program contains
common menu items like File and Edit, as well as Acrobat 9 Pro menu
items such as Advanced and Document.
•
Toolbars. Acrobat contains a variety of toolbars; most items found in
toolbars are available as menu commands as well.
•
Task buttons. You can access a variety of tasks and functions for a
specific type of work, such as creating a PDF or signing a document,
using the task buttons.
•
Document message bar. Look for a message bar that lets you know if
the document contains certain types of content, such as form fields or
signatures, below the toolbars.
•
Navigation pane. The icons along the left side of the program win-
dow make up the Navigation pane. The functions available from the
Navigation pane let you manage and control the content of your PDF
document.
•
Document pane. An open PDF document displays in the Document
pane. The document's page size and scroll bars frame the bottom and
right sides of the Document pane.
