To open a PDF for viewing or editing in Acrobat Pro X, launch Pro X and click on the Open button in the

welcome box that appears.

You will also have the option of creating a PDF. PDFs are

not designed to be created from scratch, but rather from

an existing document. Generally, you will create a

document in a program like MS Word or Adobe InDesign

and publish it as a PDF within the original program. You

will then be able to view and make simple edits to the

PDF within Acrobat Pro X.

Once your PDF is open, you can use the navigation tools at the top left to move around your document.
