Edit PDF Preview in PDM Explorer

PDM Generality
1

Hello

I would like to know please, if it is possible to hide the default panes that are displayed in the adobe preview of the PDM explorer? because suddenly I have to reduce them each time or open the pdf to see. 

(I'm on standard PDM)

Hello 

Right-click on the preview, go to "Preferences... " then in the "Document" tab, check the box: "In web browser, display PDF in Read Mode by default".

Kind regards

Hello, thank you for your feedback, however I apparently don't have access to the preferences from the preview window. 

What is even more surprising is that this "problem" is random depending on the PDF I click on. At times it is displayed well in full screen.

Hello,

I have a solution for the software itself, it's possible that it works on the explorer, at least for me it works!

For the right pane:
Go to  Edit /preferences => category documents and check these two boxes :
"Restore the last settings displayed when reopening the document"
"Remember the current state of the tool panel"

=> hide the right pane and then reopen Acrobat, it should no longer appear.

For the left pane:

Open the Windows Registry Editor (start/run " Regedit ")
Then go to : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.DC\shell\Read\command

Rename the end of the default key ONLY
From :               "%1"
A :                /A "navpanes=0" "%1"


Restart Acrobat Reader and no more right or left panes should be displayed, full screen !

You will have to check on the PDM afterwards.

Hello 

Thank you for your feedback, for the right pane it works. On the other hand, for the left pane, it is still present in the PDM preview.

It's okay I found an alternative solution, when creating the PDF, you have to uncheck the option "Include bookmarks". The PDFs will then appear in full screen in the preview.
