Workspace overview
Adobe Acrobat XI opens in two different ways: as a stand-alone application, and in a web browser. The associated work
areas differ in small but important ways.
The menu bar and two toolbars are visible at the top of the work area. The work area for the stand-alone application
includes a document pane, a navigation pane, and a group of task panes on the right side. The document pane displays
Adobe® PDFs. The navigation pane on the left side helps you browse through the PDF and perform other options on
PDF files. Toolbars near the top of the window provide other controls that you can use to work with PDFs.
When you open a PDF inside a web browser, the toolbars, navigation pane, and task panes are not available. You can
display those items by clicking the Acrobat icon
in the semi-transparent floating toolbar near the bottom of the
window.
