Open a PDF in the application
❖ Start Acrobat and do one of the following:
• Choose File > Open, or click the Open button in the toolbar. In the Open dialog box, select one or more
filenames, and click Open. PDF documents usually have the extension .pdf.
• (Windows) Choose File > [a previously opened PDF].
• (Mac OS) Choose File > Open Recent File > [a previously opened PDF].
• From either the File > Organizer submenu or the Organizer button menu on the File toolbar, choose Collections
> [collection name] > [PDF filename].
• From the File menu or the Organizer button menu on the File toolbar, choose History > [time period] > [PDF
filename].
If more than one document is open, you can switch between documents by choosing the document name from the
Window menu. In Windows, the application places a button for each open document on the Windows taskbar. You
can click this button to move between open documents.
Open a PDF from the desktop or within another application

Opening pages in a PDF
Depending on the PDF you open, you may need to move forward through multiple pages, see different parts of the
page, or change the magnification. There are many ways to navigate, but the following items are commonly used:
Note: If you do not see these items, choose View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars.
Next and Previous The Next Page and Previous Page buttons appear on the Page Navigation toolbar. The text
box next to them is also interactive, so you can type a page number and press Enter to go directly to that page.
Scroll bars Vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear to the right and bottom of the document pane whenever the
view does not show the entire document. Click the arrows or drag to view other pages or different areas of the page.
Select & Zoom toolbar This toolbar contains buttons and controls for changing the page magnification.
Pages panel The Pages button on the left side of the work area opens the navigation pane to the Pages panel,
which displays thumbnail images of each page. Click a page thumbnail to open that page in the document pane.
