I'd like to have 'destinations' and 'layers' navigation icons available by default in the navigation pane when opening Acrobat (v9.2pro/ex): is there any way to save this on closing?
After some hunting around, I'm supposing there isn't.
Thanks!

Something to try.

View > Navigation Panels and
--| select Reset Panels

Recurse through "View > Navigation Panels" to open desire Navigation Panels.
Once you have all the desired panels, floating about here and there revisit:
View > Navigation Panels and then:
--| select Dock All Panels

Close the open PDF. Exit Acrobat.
Open Acrobat. Open a PDF.
See what's present in the Navigation Panel.

Be well...

Hello Daka630, thanks for the suggestion, which I tried as diligently as I can.

On opening Acrobat (or resetting the Nav Pane) the Nav Pane shows Pages, Bookmarks and Signatures.

If I do as you suggest, opening Destinations, Articles and Layers, no matter whether I select Dock All Panels or drag them individually to dock them, no matter whether I Exit or Close Acrobat (or on opening again return to the same PDF), what's there is Pages, Bookmarks and Signatures.

What I was after was a similar result to customised toolbars which remain as preferred. It's no biggie, just on the wish-list.

Ok, that's weird...

Some way into downloading and installing the latest (security) update, I closed Acrobat and restarted XP, to find those navigation panels docked as I wanted in the Nav pane.



Just move on, don't think about it...
