Select & Zoom tools are used to select text/images, move a document around the

Document pane, copy selections, and view the document page using a number of different

zoom tools.

Find toolbar. Of all the default toolbars, the Find toolbar shown in Figure 1.23 is the only one

that does not have additional tools that can be added to the toolbar. However, a pull-down menu

exists for making choices to refine your search for words in an open PDF document.

For more information on searching PDFs, see Chapter 6.

Managing default toolbars

In addition to loading and unloading tools within toolbars, the toolbars can be moved, docked, and

undocked from the Toolbar Well. Here’s a list of some of the things you can do with the default toolbars and

any other toolbars you decide to view:

Undocking toolbars. Toolbars can be relocated from within the Toolbar Well to another area

within the Acrobat window. For example, you might find it more convenient to move a toolbar

you frequently access during an editing session so it is positioned at the bottom of the Document

pane. If so, just place the cursor on top of the vertical separator bar adjacent to the first tool in a

toolbar and drag it away from the Toolbar Well. This vertical line is the hot spot used to select the

toolbar instead of a tool in the group. Clicking anywhere else in the toolbar selects a tool.

Docking toolbars. To dock a toolbar back in the Toolbar Well once removed, drag the toolbar,

again by the vertical separator bar adjacent to the first tool, on top of the Toolbar Well. The toolbar

snaps to an available position in the Well. If you drop the toolbar between two other toolbars, the

toolbar you relocate back to the Toolbar Well snaps in position between the two docked toolbars.

Toolbars can also be docked vertically on the left and right sides of the Document pane and at the

bottom of the Acrobat window below the status bar. For example, if you drag a toolbar to the left

of the Navigation pane and release the mouse button, the toolbar snaps to a docking station and

the tools display vertically. In Figure 1.24 you can see toolbars docked on the left (A), right (B),

and bottom (C) of the Acrobat window with one floating toolbar (D) in the Document pane.
