Make Hand Tool Select Text & Images Enables the Hand tool to function as the Select tool when it hovers over text in
an Adobe PDF.
Make Hand Tool Read Articles Changes the appearance of the Hand tool pointer when over an article thread. Upon the
first click, the article zooms to fill the document pane horizontally; subsequent clicks follow the thread of the article.

Make Select Tool Select Images Before Text Changes the order in which the Select tool selects.

tool.
Touch Mode Sets how Acrobat enters the Touch mode, if at all, for touch enabled-devices. In Touch mode, 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.
Warn in gs
Do Not Show Edit Warnings Disables warning boxes that would normally appear when you delete items such as links,
pages, page thumbnails, and bookmarks.
Reset All Warnings Restores default settings for warnings.
Messages From Adobe
Show Me Messages When I Launch Acrobat Allows in-product marketing messages from Adobe to appear in the
Welcome Screen when you launch the application without a document open. Click a message to get information about
features, updates, or online services, or to open an element in the application, such as a task pane. Deselect the option
to prevent in-product marketing messages from appearing.
Note: Transactional messages, which facilitate the Adobe Online Service, cannot be turned off.
Application Startup
Show Splash Screen (Mac OS) Determines whether the application startup screen appears each time the application
starts.
Use Only Certified Plug-Ins Ensures that only Adobe-certified third-party plug-ins are loaded. The notation Currently
in Certified Mode indicates either Yes or No depending on its status.
Check 2D Graphics Accelerator (Windows only) (Appears only if your computer hardware supports 2D graphics
acceleration.) When selected, allows hardware acceleration usage when the first document is opened. When deselected,
hardware acceleration usage starts after the first document is opened. This option can slow startup time, so it is
deselected by default.
Note: This option is available only when the option Use 2D Graphics Acceleration in the Page Display preferences is
selected.
Select Default PDF Handler (Windows only) Specifies which application, Reader or Acrobat, is used to open PDFs. This
setting applies if you have both Acrobat and Reader installed on your computer. In Windows 7 or earlier, a browser uses
this setting only if it is using the Adobe plug-in or add-on for viewing PDF files. In Windows 8, this setting controls
which application is the default PDF application for your system, including in your browser. Windows 8 prompts you
to allow this change before applying it to your system. Once set, Windows 8 also uses the selected PDF application for
tasks related to PDF files, such as previewing, displaying thumbnails, and providing file information.
