Datasheet

View menu

The View menu (see Figure 1.5) contains all the commands you’ll use for viewing PDF documents. An addi-

tion to the View menu is the Reading Mode command. This command dismisses the Navigation pane and

appears similar to the display you see when reading articles. The Wireframe command has changed to Line

Weights you see at the bottom of the menu.

For more information on using Reading Mode, see Chapter 5.

Document menu

The Document menu (see Figure 1.6) contains a collection of commands specific to document handling.

Options in the Document menu have a few changes in Acrobat 8 compared to the options in Acrobat 7.

Notice a new command — Enable Features in Adobe Reader, which appears in addition to Enable for

Commenting and Analysis found in Acrobat 7 and used to enable PDFs for commenting in Reader. This

new command now enables you to add both commenting and saving from data in Adobe Reader. The Paper

Capture command has changed names to Scan to PDF and a new command exists for optimizing scanned

PDF files. The OCR feature in Acrobat remains the same and is all available in the Text Recognition sub-

menu. In addition to these new commands, we find the Examine Document command and Manage embed-

ded index appearing in Acrobat 8.

For information related to enabling PDFs for form data saving, see Chapter 19 where all the

enabling features are discussed. For more information on examining documents, take a look at

Chapter 19. For more information on embedding index files, look to Chapter 6 where I talk about search

indexes and searching PDF files.
