pagePDF toolbar icon not shown in IBM Notes 9 toolbar

SWING PDF Converter installation was successful, but the toolbar icon is still not shown or is hidden among other icons

Solution:

Right-click on the Notes toolbar and mark the SWING PDF Converter menu (if unmarked).

If the menu is marked and you still can not see the PDF toolbar icon, it may be hidden among the other icons in your toolbar. Try moving the separator bars in your Notes toolbar or expand hidden icons to locate the PDF Converter toolbar icon
