Attachments
The Attachments pane (see Figure 1.42) in all Acrobat viewers is used to display, manage, and extract file
attachments. You can attach files in Acrobat Standard and Professional and extract file attachments using all
Acrobat viewers including Adobe Reader.
FIGURE 1.42
The Attachments pane provides options for managing file attachments. Attachments can be extracted from within
Adobe Reader.
For a complete description of adding file attachments to PDF documents, see Chapter 15. For
more on extracting attachments from within Adobe Reader, see Chapter 3.
Comments
The Comments palette shows you comments in an expanded horizontal view, just like the Attachments
pane. When you click the Comments panel, you’ll notice a number of pull-down menus (signified by
down-pointing arrows at the top of the pane), a list of comments that can be expanded and collapsed, and a
host of tools within the palette, as shown in Figure 1.43.

Hidden panels
As with toolbars, you can choose to view additional panels through menu commands. You can choose to
display a number of other panels in the Acrobat window and dock them in the Navigation pane. To open a
hidden panel, choose View ➪ Navigation Panels. From the submenu, you’ll find all the panels available. In
Figure 1.44, the list shows Navigation panels available in Acrobat Professional.
Another way to access the Navigation panels is through a context menu. Right-click (Windows) or
Ctrl+click (Macintosh) on the Navigation pane and a menu shows all the Navigation Panels. In order to see
the panels, you must first open them from the Navigation Panels submenu and dock them in the Navigation
pane. Once the panels have been docked, they appear in a context menu, as shown in Figure 1.45.
