As you get acquainted with your product, make setting up your work environment a priority. The more you learn
about its potential, the better you can take advantage of its features, tools, and options.
There’s much more to the application than you see at first glance. Various hidden tools, preferences, and options can
enhance your experience and give you greater control over how your work area is arranged and displayed.
Work area basics
View the work area
Adobe® Acrobat® 9 Pro Extended 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 work area for the stand-alone application includes a document pane and a navigation pane. The document pane
displays Adobe® PDFs. The navigation pane on the left side helps you browse through the PDF. Toolbars near the top
of the window provide other controls that you can use to work with PDFs.

commands in the menu bar, download the PDF and open it in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Note: Some, but not all, PDFs appear with a document message bar. PDF Portfolios appear with a specialized work area.
