I want to Know how to Unhide the Semitransperent Floating Pane in adobe reader when it used in browser.
In some of the sites pdfs are viewed but all toolbars are disabled only reading pane can be viewed by rightclicking on it.
But the semitransperant floating pane is very usefull to Print/ save/and navigate. some how it is disappeared from my browser due to any settings or anything unknown. So I want to know how to restore this pane or how to unhide this semitransperant floating pane for Adobe reader X in Web browser while viewing in Browser

Hi, thanks for the keys, got some new ones for me)
Does anybody know if there exists a hot key to "Fit one page to window"? It slightly differs from Ctrl+0 combination. When you hit Ctrl+0, the page fits to the window, but when you scroll with a mouse after that, the document scrolls as well, but not jumps to another page quickly.

My installation requires a Ctrl-Home & Ctrl-End to navigate to the beginning and end of the document.

Reply #1 admin Oct 29, 2011 at 02:03 pm

corrected. should have been that from the beginning.
