We use Acrobat 8 to view PDF documents from withing another application's window. To get more real estate, the user has to right click and select 'Hide Navigation Panel Buttons'. How to make this setting stick so when another document is opened the navigation panel buttons do not display?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

How are you displaying the pdf interface in your document? Are you using IAC, the ActiveX object? What version of Acrobat are you using?

In general, When Acrobat is displaying a PDF in an external window you are more limited in how much the UI can be controled than when displayed in Acrobat. For example you can't execute menu items from JavaScript, and the app.toobars property is inactive.

You can't use JavaScript, so unless there is something in the OCX interface, and I don't think there is, you can't do this.
