How to use Acrobat XI on touch devices
Lori Kassuba – September 23, 2012
- Using a program like the Citrix Receiver mobile app, tap to launch Acrobat XI (which is installed on the Citrix XenApp server) on the iPad.
- Open a virtual Windows desktop and tap to open Acrobat XI.
- When you open a PDF file, Acrobat XI detects that you are using a touch-enabled device, and prompts you with a pop-up at the bottom. Tap the prompt.
- The new Touch Mode capability spaces out the icons on the toolbar, panels, and increases the text size of menus.
- The Page Thumbnails can be used to navigate and can also be scrolled with a finger swipe.

Hi Cathy,
To do something like this you would need the Citrix Receiver App for Android and then Acrobat XI installed on a Citrix XenApp server.
Thanks,
