Using keyboard shortcuts for menu commands and
navigation
Navigation functions can be controlled through the keyboard as well as the mouse.You
can change focus areas, and manipulate menus and dialog boxes. Focus areas are large
sections of the interface that are treated as logical entities. Within these you may have
more detailed navigation. Focus areas have an outline around them.
Some of the gestures used to navigate may differ from those used in other Windows appli-
cations.This is due to the different types of elements that are available in Adobe Acrobat,
and also to ensure compatibility with earlier versions.
To toggle the focus area between the document and navigation panes:
Press F6 to toggle the focus between the document and navigation panes.
