I don't know what I did but now everytime I open a pdf doc, the toolbars are gone. Only the File, Edit, View, etc words are at the top. I have to select View >toolbars > Advance Editing, everytime I want to see the tools. I tried to lock the toolbar. Nothing. Please advise. Thx!

The file properties defining the visibility of the toolbar on opening the form.

You will have to change the initial view settings of each form where you don't want to hide the toolbars.
Open the form and the the properties dialog (Strg + D). Select "initial View" and deselect "Hide toolbars". Finally save the form. Voila!

If you can't or want to change the properties you can show/hide the menu or toolbars by pressing F8/F9.

I accessed a PDF file thru a website. I hid all the tools to be able to see more of the page. Now when I open a file thru a website the tools are missing. How do I get them back? I have clicked on everything I could think of and no luck.
Thanks for your help!
