You set the preference options by category.
3D
Sets preferences for viewing 3D files. This preference is available in full version of Adobe
Reader.

motion-challenged users. (See Setting accessibility preferences.)

preferences.)

Sets preferences for navigation, transitions, and mouse behavior when documents are
viewed in full screen mode. (See Full Screen preferences.)

preferences. (See General preferences.)
Identity

International
Sets the language used in Adobe Reader or lets you choose the language each time you
start Adobe Reader. You can control the default paragraph direction and turn on options
for right-to-left languages.
Internet
Sets web browser and Internet connection options. You can set preferences to check your
default browser settings for compatibility with the application each time the application
starts, and you can choose a connection speed that is used by the multimedia plug-in. This
is also where you set your Internet connection setting. (For more information on setting up
Adobe Reader as a helper application in Windows, see Viewing Adobe PDF documents in
a web browser.)
JavaScript
Sets preferences for enabling JavaScript. To access the JavaScript Reference Guide, go to
http://partners.adobe.com/ans/developer/acrosdk/main.html (English only) on the Adobe
website.
Multimedia
Sets the preferred media player to play 3D content, movies, and sound clips, as well as
other multimedia options. (See Setting Multimedia preferences.)
Page Display
Sets options that define the page display, including smoothing text, line art, and images, as
well as determining whether CoolType is used. Smoothing the edges of text and
monochrome images minimizes the contrast between the background and the text or
image, which sometimes improves the quality of the display on-screen, especially with
larger text sizes. CoolType lets you adjust text display to work optimally with your
monitor. (See Page Display preferences.)

Sets read-out-loud options, such as pitch, volume, and speed, for speech used in voice
delivery, as well as reading order and screen reader options. (See Setting Reading
preferences.)

Sets the preferred security handler and the preferences for creating and managing digital
signatures and their appearance. (See Setting Digital Signature preferences.)

typing. (See Setting Spelling preferences.)
