Thank you! You just saved me from possibly losing A lot of edits to a PDF file. Not to mention a lot of time as well. Thanks again

thank you for the information.

As a former programmer, I think it is inexcusable for Adobe to put out a product where people have to find a Youtube video just to make simple adjustments to the interface.

Altering the user experience/interface should be something that happens only with deliberate intentional actions by the user. Anyone on my old team who produced code which changed the user interface by default in direct contradiction of what the user has specified would have been told to go back to the design phase or find another profession.

Thanks Roger. I must remember - always go to YouTube first - coulda saved some time.

The better answer, for me at least, is to open a pdf document and go to Edit, Preferences, Documents and un-check the "Allow documents to hide the menu bar, toolbars, and window controls" This will set the menu bar, toolbars, etc., for all your documents.

Thank You!! Now why can I highlight in some PDF's files and others I can't??

I can't even see the title bar... the F9 and F8 keys seem to do something... but I can't see them, they seem to be above what I can see on the screen. ?

Ty. I like the 'complete moron' hypothesis.

It solved my problem, but what is our world coming to when we need a video to tell us to hit F9?
