Is it possible to create a PDF file so that, when it is opened by Acrobat Reader in a browser, can set the toolbars/buttons how you want?

There are some choices available. Under "Properties" for a document, look at "Initial View" and see what's available there.

The following text is from Acrobat Help:

User Interface Options Determine which parts of the interface—the menu bar, the toolbars, and the window controls—are hidden.

Note: If you hide the menu bar and toolbars, users cannot apply commands and select tools unless they know the keyboard shortcuts. You may want to set up page actions that temporarily hide interface controls while the page is in view. (See Add actions with page thumbnails .)

Acrobat is probably the program I use most often and I'm learning more every day.
