Acrobat Reader provides a number of ways to help you find files, file content, and folders. When no file is open, the bottom menu displays locations for the following:
Home: When you start Acrobat, the Home screen shows you all of your files regardless of location. Recently viewed files appear at the top of the list.
Files: The Files list allows you to select local or cloud location.
Shared: When you’re signed in, the shared file list displays files you’ve shared as view-only or sent for review.
Search: Searching returns a list of all the files that match your search parameters.
To see a list of recently viewed files, tap Home.

By default, a menu at the top of an open file displays icons for common tasks. The menu varies based on the viewing context. For example, items in the top menu bar change depending on whether you’re viewing a private file, a shared file, or a review file.
When a file is open, a single tap changes the view to immersive mode. Immersive mode hides the menus so that you can see more of the document.
