Acrobat X Pro trial: can't see full set of tools when portfolio is open

Tags: #acrobat_10_pro

Hello everyone; my first post in this forum.

Using the trial version of Acrobat 10 Pro, when I open the application I see the full set of tools and the Tool / Comment / Share panel -

However, once I've opened a portfolio, I only see a reduced set of tools -

I can't work out how to enable the full set of tools and panels when I'm in a portfolio. Does anyone know?

Cheers,

Sue.

That is the Layout view for the portfolio. Click on the "Files" button then double click on the file you want to open. When the individual PDF is opened the toolbar will appear.

Thanks for your answer.

I guess this means that if I want to OCR a whole portfolio, or apply Bates numbering to it, I must start with the portfolio closed, choose the appropriate tool, and select the portfolio under "Add files."

However, I have the option to OCR or apply Bates numbers to one document within the portfolio when I have the doc open.

A portfolio is a PDF that contains PDFs or other files as attachments and and have a Flex navigation system embedded.

I would extract all the PDF's to directory and run an Action or Batch Process for the bates numbering and OCR each PDF as needed, and then update the PDFs in the Portfolio.
