Hiding & showing the ribbon


If you want more space on your screen for viewing PDF files in Nitro then you can minimize the ribbon.

Ribbon

Minimized ribbon

There are three different display modes the ribbon supports.

  1. Always show the ribbon.
  2. Always hide the ribbon.
  3. Temporarily hide/show the ribbon. This mode hides the commands away but lets you quickly access a command on a tab and then return to a view where the ribbon is minimized.

To always show/hide the ribbon:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click on a tab (e.g. the Home tab).
    • Press CTRL+F1.
  2. The ribbon should appear again or be hidden. To return to the preview state, perform step 1 again.

To temporarily show a hidden ribbon tab:

  1. Click once on the ribbon tab (e.g. Home).
  2. On the tab, click the command or tool youd like to use.
