menu of commands associated with it. Click the arrow to the right of the button name to open the menu. For
example, click the arrow next to the Create PDF button
to display a menu of commands related to creating
PDF documents.
Hold the pointer over a tool to see the name of the tool. Hold the pointer over the gripper bar on the left
edge of a toolbar to see the name of the toolbar.
