Frequently accessing tools through the menu bar is cumbersome. Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional has floating toolbars which you can make visible for easy access to frequently used tools. You can drag the toolbars to any location in the Acrobat window so as not to obstruct your view of the document. If you have made many toolbars visible, you can temporarily hide them to gain a better view of the PDF document.
