Show or hide the navigation pane
The navigation pane is an area of the work space that can display different navigation panels. Typically, these panels
act like a table of contents, with items you can click to jump to a specific place in the document. For example, the
Pages panel contains thumbnail images of each page; clicking a thumbnail opens that page in the document.
When you open a PDF, the navigation pane is closed by default, but buttons along the left side of the work area
provide easy access to various panels, such as the Pages panel button
Acrobat is open but empty (no PDF is open), the navigation pane is unavailable.
1 To open the navigation pane, do one of the following:
• Click any panel button on the left side of the work area to open that panel.
• Choose View > Navigation Panels > Show Navigation Pane.
To close the navigation pane, do one of the following:
2
• Click the button for the currently open panel in the navigation pane.
• Choose View > Navigation Panels > Hide Navigation Pane.
Note: The creator of the PDF can control the contents of some navigation panels and may make them empty.
Adjust navigation panels
Like toolbars, navigation panels can be docked in the navigation pane, or they can float anywhere in the work area. You
can hide or close panels you don't need and open the ones you do. You can also adjust the width of the navigation pane.
Change the display area for navigation panels
• To change the width of the navigation pane, drag its right border.
• To collapse a floating panel without closing it, click the tab name at the top of the window. Click the tab name again
to restore the panel to its full size.
Change the orientation of a docked navigation panel
By default, some panels, such as Bookmarks, appear in a column on the left side of the work area. Others, such as the
Comments panel, appear horizontally across the bottom of the document pane. You can change the orientation of
any panel to either vertical or horizontal by dragging the button for that panel, which appears on the left side of the
work area.
• To orient the panel vertically, drag its button to the upper part of the navigation pane, near the buttons of other
vertically oriented panels.
