Is there any way to view PDF documents in Adobe Reader keeping the
toolbar, but **without** having the surrounding black border in the
display window, and without having the navigation sidebar displayed at
all, even in shrunken form?

Or any other Mac PDF viewers (other than Acrobat) that will do this?

Notes: _

1) Not_ talking about Full Screen view here. But on that topic, any
way to display in Full Screen view using "Fit to Width" rather than "Fit
to Height" or "Fit to Window" scalings of the content?

2) I guess Preview does part of what's wanted -- but doesn't seem to
have a "Fit to Width" mode of display, at least in Leopard.

Preview does that. It does make a drop shadow around each page, though.

Googling for "Mac OS X PDF viewers" leads to the Wikipedia article:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Mac_OS_X>

which contains a link to Skim:

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app/files/Skim/Skim-1.3.9/Skim-1.3.
9.dmg/download>

that seems to have the functionality you want.

Thanks much -- looks good.

[I'd never heard of it, despite many years of Mac-ing and PDF-ing -- but
I've not had much contact with SourceForge either.]
