Print
	Brings up your "Print" window to allow you to print all or part of the document.
Page View
	Displays only the page (see the next 2 buttons).  Because this button is down in this example, it is this view that would be displayed.
	Displays the page and the bookmarks created for that page.  Click on a bookmark to go to the section named in the bookmark.  If no bookmarks are available, none will be displayed.
	Displays the page and the thumbnails created for that page.  Click on a thumbnail to go to the page marked by that thumbnail.  If no thumbnails are available, none will be displayed.
Hand Tool
	When selected, this tool will allow you to move the document around on your screen.  Select this tool, click on your document and hold down the click button (your cursor will change from a hand to a fist), and drag your mouse to position the page as you desire.  Release the click button.
Zoom
	Magnifies the document.  Select the tool, then click on the document.  The document will be magnified by a factor of 2.  Acrobat will attempt to center the document on the spot on the page where you clicked. If you wish to magnify a specific area of the page, click on this Zoom-in tool, click and drag a rectangle around the area you wish to have magnified.
	Reduces the magnification of the document.  Select the tool, then click on the document.  The magnification of the document will be reduced by a factor of 2.
Select Tool
	Use this tool to select a section of text (click on the tool button, click and drag a rectangle around the text you wish to select).  This text can be copied onto the Clipboard and pasted into some other document.
Navigation
	Use these buttons to go to either the previous or the next page within the Acrobat (pdf) document. Do not confuse these with your browser's "back" and "forward" buttons that will take you out of the Acrobat (PDF) document.
	Use these buttons to go to either the first page or the last page within the Acrobat (PDF) document.
	Use these buttons to retrace your steps within the Acrobat (PDF) document, either backward or forward.
Document View
	Sets the Zoom factor for the document to 100%.
	Fits the entire page of the document inside the window.
	Sizes the document to fill the entire width of your window. Holding down the Option (Macintosh) or Control (Windows) key while clicking this button fills your window with only the visible text and graphics on the page (i.e., eliminates the white space on the edges).
Find
	Selecting the left button allows you to type in a word(s) and have Acrobat search the document for that word(s).  Selecting the right button continues your search through the document for your word(s).

Jump to Specific Page
	Allows you to jump to a specific page within the Acrobat (PDF) document. Click on the button.  A new window pops up in which you can type the page number to which you wish to go.
Magnification Level
	To set the magnification level of the document to a specific level, click on this button.  A new window pops up in which you can type the specific magnification level you wish, or you can select an option by selecting the down arrow button.
Page Layout
	If you would prefer to scroll through the document rather than view one page at a time, this button allows you to set a preference. Single Page layout displays one page of the document at a time. Continuous layout arranges the pages in a continuous vertical column. Continuous-Facing Pages layout arranges the pages to appear side by side with continuous columns.
