Touch mode for tablet and mobile devices
Touch mode makes it easier to use Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC on touch devices. Toolbar buttons, panels, and
menus shift apart slightly to accommodate selecting with your fingers. The Touch reading mode optimizes viewing and
supports most common gestures. Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC automatically switch to Touch mode when on
a touch-enabled device. You can add a Touch mode toggle button to the toolbar or change the default preference setting
for Touch mode.

Change the PDF/A viewing mode
PDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term archiving and preservation of electronic documents. Documents you scan to
PDF are PDF/A-compliant. You can specify whether you want to view documents in this viewing mode.
When you open a PDF/A compliant document in PDF/A viewing mode, the document is opened in Read mode to
prevent modification. A message is displayed in the document message bar. You will be unable to make changes and
add annotations to the document. If you turn off PDF/A mode, you can edit the document.
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Documents.
2 Choose an option for View Documents In PDF/A Mode: Never, or Only For PDF/A Documents.
You can switch in or out of PDF/A viewing mode by changing this preference setting.
For a video on working with PDF/A files, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_pdfa_en.
Display PDFs in Line Weights view
The Line Weights view displays lines with the weights defined in the PDF. When Line Weights view is off, it applies a
constant stroke width (1 pixel) to lines, regardless of zoom. When you print the document, the stroke prints at the true
width.
Choose View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Line Weights. To turn off Line Weights view, choose View > Show/Hide
> Rulers & Grids > Line Weights again.
Note: You cannot turn off Line Weights view when viewing PDFs within a web browser.
