Document message bar
The document message bar appears only in certain types of PDFs. Typically, you see this area when you open a PDF
form, a PDF that has been sent to you for signing or review, a PDF with special rights or security restrictions, or a PDF
that is compliant with PDF/A standards. The document message bar appears immediately below the toolbar area. To
show or hide the document message bar, click its button
on the left side of the work area. The button varies
depending on the type of message bar.
Look on the document message bar for instructions on how to proceed and for any special buttons associated with the
task. The bar is color coded: purple for forms, yellow for reviews or security alerts, and blue for certified PDFs, PDF
Portfolios, or PDFs with password security or document restrictions.
