I have converted the paper documents as filled in enabled pdf files. I have created a homepage with links to these pdf files and when clicked, I want these pdf files open with no menu bar and tool bar even if the user presses the F8 or F9 keys. (i have included the close/print/reset buttons in the pdf files).

can any one help me?

Mmm. Not sure if there is a way to prevent the user from getting the tools back by pressing F8 but they way you hide the tools is:

Open the pdf file in acrobat pro, then go: File>properties, initial view tab, then under "interface options" check all three: hide menu bar, hide toolbars, hide window controls. There are other features in there that I like to use as well, like open in full screen mode, center window on screen, etc. If you want to try those as well.Hope that helps you a bit.
