Opening documents
You can open an Adobe PDF document from your email application, from your file 
system, from within a web browser, or by choosing File > Open in Adobe Reader. The 
initial view of the PDF document depends on how its creator set the document properties. 
For example, a document might open to a particular page or at a particular magnification. 
The creator of the PDF document may have enabled additional usage rights that let you 
participate in a document review, create comments, fill in forms, and sign documents. 
(See 
When someone sends you a restricted PDF document, you may need to enter a password 
to open it. If a document is encrypted, you may not be able to open it without permission 
from the person who created the document. In addition, restricted or certified documents 
may prevent you from printing a file or copying information to another application. If 
you're having trouble opening a PDF document, or if you're restricted from using certain 
features, contact the author of the PDF document. For information on opening documents 
to which security has been applied, see 
If a document is set to open in Full Screen view, the toolbar, command bar, menu bar, and 
window controls are not visible. You can exit Full Screen view by pressing the Esc key, if 
your preferences are set this way, or by pressing Ctrl+L (Windows) or Command+L 
(Mac OS). (See 
To open a PDF document from within Adobe Reader:
1.  Do one of the following:
●     
Choose File > Open, or click the Open button 
 in the toolbar. In the Open dialog box, 
select one or more file names, and click Open. PDF documents usually have the extension .
pdf. 
●     
Drag the PDF file into the Adobe Reader window.
●     
(Windows) From the File menu, choose a previously opened document's file name.
●     
(Mac OS) Choose File > Open Recent File, and then choose the document's file name.
2.  If the Document Message Bar appears when a PDF document is opened, the document has 
a special status or special features. For example, it may be certified or signed, or it may 
include additional usage rights. The bottom left corner of the status bar displays icons that 
represent the special status. You can click any of these to view the document status.
If more than one document is open, you can switch between documents by choosing 
the document name from the Window menu. In Windows, Adobe Reader places a button 
for each open window on the Windows taskbar. You can click this button to move 
between open documents.
To open a PDF document from outside Adobe Reader:
Do one of the following:
●     
Open the PDF attachment from within an email application. In most email applications, 
you can double-click the attachment icon to open the document.
●     
Click the PDF file link in your web browser. The PDF document may open within your 
web browser. In this case, use the Adobe Reader toolbars to print, search, and work on 
your PDF documents, because the menu commands may apply to the browser and not to 
the PDF document. (See 
.)
●     
Double-click the PDF file icon in your file system.
Note: In Mac OS, you might not be able to open a PDF document created in Windows by 
double-clicking the icon. If double-clicking the icon in Mac OS does not open the 
document, use File > Open in Adobe Reader, or drag the PDF file icon into the Adobe 
Reader window.
