Hi all,
Can anyone tell or it is possible to show only a PDF preview in PDM, without all the Adobe stuff around it?
Now I need to click all the all the stuff to see my PDF preview. When I click the file again, all the stuff is back.
I want to see a preview like a Solidworks Drawing.
Thanks.
In Adobe Reader DC
This takes care of the right hand side
This takes care navigation pane...you only need to add the part after /A \"na......
And maybe you need to do this too
And here are some more notes
Just ensure you've properly closed and quit the "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.app" application first:
1.Open Finder, navigate to Applications
2.Right-click on "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" and select "Show Package Contents"
3.Navigate to /Contents/Resources/AcroApp/ENU/ (or whatever 3-letter language code you're using)
4.*** Create a new folder. Name the folder "Disabled".
5.*** Move the following 3 files into the "Disabled" folder:
AppCenter_R.aapp; Home.aapp; Viewer.aapp
If you're doing this via mouse drag-and-drop, ensure you hold down the Command key,
to ensure the files are moved and not copied.
6.Close Finder, and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
*** You may have to authorise these actions with your administrator password.
This annoying feature can also be disabled by altering the following registry setting:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral]
"bRHPSticky"=dword:00000001
For Acrobat Reader XI as of version 11.0.12 you will have to make a change
in the reader's Read command in the registry, location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.11\shell\Read\command
This is the original command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
Close Acrobat Reader if it is opened and change the command into:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "navpanes=0" "%1"
Open a PDF document and the navpane should be hidden, and can be shown with the F4 key as before.
For Acrobat DC (Ver 2015.008.20082 for my case) & Windows 10, registry path is slightly different.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Acrobat.Document.DC\shell\Open\command
String to be modified is similar.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1"
to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" /A "navpanes=0" "%1"
Strange, I also use Adobe DC, but my option is 'Remember current state of Tools Pane'.
I will the try the registry fix. But what do you exactly mean by 'you only need to add the part after /A \"na......'?
Hi,
It means you need to add /A "navpanes=0" "%1" as per info below...I was too lazy to write it out.

Hi,
So when I change that registry key, the PDF preview will look like this?:
I figured out when you use CTRL+H you can change the layout in the PDM preview. But when you select the file again, the view is like in my first post.
