Open a PDF from the desktop or within another application
Do one of the following:
• To open a PDF attached to an email message, open the message and double-click the PDF icon.
• To open a PDF linked to an open web page, click the PDF file link. The PDF usually opens in the web browser.
• Double-click the PDF file icon in your file system.
Note: In Mac OS, you sometimes cannot open a PDF created in Windows by double-clicking the icon. Instead, choose
File > Open With > Acrobat > DC.
Open a PDF in a web browser
When PDFs open in a web page, they open in Read mode. Read mode displays the PDF without the menus, panes, or
toolbars visible. Near the bottom of the window, a floating toolbar appears with basic functionality for viewing
document.
• To show the toolbar, roll your cursor near the bottom of the window.
• To page through the PDF, use the navigation buttons in the toolbar.
• To close Read mode and display the work area, click the Acrobat icon in the toolbar.
• To disable Read mode within the browser, open the Acrobat or Reader Preferences (in Windows, choose Edit >
Preferences, in Mac OS, choose Acrobat DC/ Acrobat Reader DC > Preferences). Select Internet from the left pane.
Deselect Display In Read Mode By Default.
Note: If you have more than one Adobe PDF application on your computer, you can specify which one is used to open PDFs.
See the Select Default PDF Handler in General preferences.
About viewing PDFs in a web browser
Options in the web browser control how you view a PDF, either within the browser or directly in Acrobat or Reader. To
change the current display behavior, see the browser documentation on managing add-ons or plug-ins. If you open
PDFs in Acrobat outside the browser, you cannot use the preference Allow Fast Web View in a browser.
Because keyboard commands can be mapped to the web browser, some Acrobat shortcuts cannot be available.
Similarly, you may need to use the tools and commands in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the browser toolbar or menu
bar. For example, to print a PDF document, use the Print button in the Acrobat toolbar rather than the Print command
in the browser. (In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can choose File > Print, Edit > Copy, and Edit > Find On This Page
on the Internet Explorer toolbar.)
Note: Having multiple versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on the same computer is not recommended. Mixed
versions on your system can prevent you from viewing PDFs in a web browser. Examples include Acrobat XI with Adobe
Reader X, or Acrobat 9 with Reader XI, and so on. For more information about coexisting installations, see this TechNote.
Internet preferences
Display In Read Mode By Default
Select to display PDFs in the browser without the menus, panes, or toolbars visible.
Allow Fast Web View
Select to allow page-at-a-time downloading for PDFs that have been saved with Fast Web View
enabled. With Fast Web View turned on, a web server can send just the requested page, rather than the entire PDF.

Allow Speculative Downloading In The Background
Choose to allow the browser to continue downloading PDF pages

Asian, Cyrillic, and right-to-left text in PDFs
Asian language PDFs
You can use Acrobat to view, search, and print PDF documents that contain Asian text (Traditional and Simplified
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). You can also use these languages when you fill in forms, add comments, and apply
digital signatures.
Almost all of the Acrobat features are supported for Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text if
you install the respective Asian language font packs.
In Acrobat in Windows, you must install the Asian language support files by using the custom installation and selecting
the Asian Language Support options under Create Adobe PDF and View Adobe PDF.
PDFMaker and the Adobe PDF printer automatically embed most Asian fonts in your file when creating PDF files. You
can control whether Asian fonts are embedded.
In Windows, you may be able to view and print files that contain Asian languages without having the necessary Asian
language support installed on your system. If you try to open a PDF file for which language support is required, you are
automatically prompted to install the required fonts.
Cyrillic, Central European, and Eastern European language PDFs
You can work with Adobe PDF files that contain Cyrillic text (including Bulgarian and Russian), Central European text,
and Eastern European text (including Czech, Hungarian, and Polish) if the fonts are embedded in the PDF files. If the
fonts are embedded, you can view and print the files on any system. Fonts do not need to be embedded to use the Search
feature.
Note: If you open a PDF file in which form fields or text boxes contain these languages but the fonts are not embedded and
are not installed on your system, choosing Help > Check For Updates Now automatically prompts you to download and
install the necessary fonts.
Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, and Vietnamese language PDFs
Acrobat supports the entry and display of Thai and Vietnamese text. In Windows only, Arabic and Hebrew are also
supported. By default, Right-To-Left Language Options is enabled under Arabic and Hebrew regional settings (in
Windows).

Enable right-to-left languages
Enabling right-to-left language options displays the user interface elements for controlling paragraph direction, digit
style, and ligature. When this option is selected, you can specify the writing direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) and
type of digits (Western or Arabic-Indic) used for creating and filling out certain form fields, adding digital signatures,
and creating text box markups.
Enable Right-To-Left Language Options is enabled by default under Arabic and Hebrew regional settings.
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Language.
2 Select Enable Right-To-Left Language Options.
Acrobat in Mac OS | Acrobat Pro DC
Generally, Acrobat works the same for Windows and Mac OS. Some exceptions are noted throughout Help. In addition,
be aware of the following differences:
Common keyboard actions and functions

OS, click the right-pointing triangle to the left of the icon. Click the down-pointing triangle to collapse the list. To
expand or collapse all items in a multilevel list, Option-click the triangle.
