In Acrobat, choose File > Open, navigate to the Lesson04 folder, and select the Protocol.pdf file. Click Open.

Acrobat displays the cover page with the Bookmarks panel open.

Choose File > Properties. Then, in the Document Properties dialog box, click the Initial View tab.

In the Layout And Magnification area, you see that the creator of this document set the file to open to page 1, with one page filling the document pane, and with the Bookmarks panel open.

Now you’ll experiment with some different opening views.

Choose Page Only from the Navigation Tab pop-up menu to hide the Bookmarks panel when the document opens. Change the Page Layout to Two-Up (Facing), and change the Magnification to Fit Visible. Click OK to exit the dialog box.

You need to save, close, and then reopen the file for these settings to take effect.

Choose File > Save As > PDF, and save the file as Protocol1.pdf in the Lesson04 folder. Then choose File > Close to close the document.

Choose File > Open, and double-click the Protocol1.pdf file to open it. Now Acrobat displays two pages, and the Bookmarks panel is hidden.

You can use the initial view settings to determine how viewers initially see documents that you create and distribute.

Close your file and reopen the original work file, Protocol.pdf.
