I have been using Adobe Reader since 2007, and recently I have been unable to turn off the right pane while reading. If anyone knows how I can deal with this problem, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Don Randall

Hi Don,

Your question is not about FormsCentral. I tried Reader XI on my win7 machine, and the right pane could be turned off by clicking the name. Please try it on your machine, and if it's not working for you, please post the discussion in Adobe Reader's forums:

    Hi Shiyao,

    Thanks for the information. I discovered that all I had to do is click on "Tools" to turn off the right pane. And I could also turn the right pane back on by clicking on Tools. So it's a toggle switch allowing users to convert a PDF to Word and vice versa. I must have switched this feature on, not realizing the Tools button is a toggle switch.

    Thanks,

    Don Randall

      Wow!  So simple, but even a dummy like me could not figure it out.  Now it seems so obvious.  Thanks for posting.  That has been thorn in my side for a while.
