Navigate and control the application with the keyboard
You can navigate by using the keyboard instead of the mouse. Several keyboard access features are available on Mac
OS; see the documentation for your operating system for details. On Windows, some of the keyboard shortcuts used
to navigate in Acrobat may differ from those used in other Windows applications.
When you open Acrobat within a web browser, keyboard commands are mapped to the web browser first. Conse
quently, some keyboard shortcuts may not be available for Acrobat or may be available only after you shift the focus
to the PDF.
For information on accessibility features for navigating Acrobat and PDF documents with the keyboard, visit the
accessibility
page of the Adobe website.
