Re: Search Button Behavior

Go to Customize Toolbars, find Search Pane (the description will say "Show/Hide the Search pane") under the Commands tab and drag it to the upper right corner. That will do the trick.

Re: If I just created a blank pdf via 'New File'how do I add shapes and lines that are base cotent? SOLVED

One way to do it is to create annotations such as typewrite text, shapes, etc. and flatten them. Copying and pasting base content from another file is another option.
