I have been saving sell sheets as pdf's and am sending them to clients. When I save the sell sheets exported from filemaker to pdf form, they pop up with the navigation panel on the left hand side. I know how to hide the panel after it has popped up but I don't want this panel to pop at all especially when I send them to clients. How can I save my pdfs and not have the navigation panel on the left automatically pop up.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

Hi jwynn,

In Acrobat open the file, go to File ->Properties, and under the Initial View tab set Navigation Tab to Page Only.Hope this helps,

You can set the properties for the PDF to open in the 'Page only' mode or add a document level JavaScript that sets the 'pane' property of the 'doc' object to 'none'.
this.pane = 'none';
This is an undocumented property and has the possible values of :
'none' or 'n'
'bookmark' or 'b'
'layers' or 'l'
'thumbnails' or 't'
'fullscreen' or 'f'
