Wow. Over 5 years and counting and still no movement on this.

Dear Adobe Acrobat developers and designers, in short make the interface a lot smaller on the computers laptops and all it should be similar in size to StuffIt app an old zip application to show on the whole screen, not like photoshop or illustrator… that take all over the screen . It is just a pdf thing.

David Wolfe, I feel your pain about those buttons taking up all that space on the toolbar. The UI is absolute garbage.

I got tired of waiting for A-doo-doo-be to start paying attention to their consumers, while their most requested feature ticket is still "Gathering Feedback" year after year. It's a complete joke.

I am now a happy user of Foxit PDF Editor Pro. It does everything I need, with a fully customizable ribbon UI, for a one-time fee much less expensive than the clumsy Hackrobat. Cheers.

I think we all know how to customize our Quick Tools. The problem is that, absent an extremely high-resolution monitor in Landscape mode with the Acrobat window sized to fill the screen width, our important set of customized Quick Tools is mostly hidden—even if, as I have shown here, we have hidden all icons we are able to hide.

Here, my customized Quick Tools are outlined in green. Outlined in red are icons and text that I cannot (or at least cannot figure out how to) remove, which occupy a great deal of screen width, and for which there are menu commands for easily accessing those functions the rare time they are needed.

Please let us remove these from the Toolbar.

Your customers are far from delighted..... and many are simply insulted by your false comments and unrelated "solutions'.

Why not try something "different" ?
.... be honest!

ADMIT that you do not give a f&(k and that you despise those who are stupid enough to buy your software......

Yet another "pretend".

This is plainly contemptuous.

There has never been - in this thread - a "Feature Request to Change the Display Size of the Acrobat without changing the Scaling/Resolution of the machine."

To pretend that this is the "request" made in this thread is almost definitive of the word "contemptuous".

adobe just keeps sucking cash from it's users woth scant regard If any at all) to it's CUSTOMERS (not "users"... we PAY).

Other pdf applications may or may not be as "customisable" as we wish - they may not have some of the features that we MIGHT use..... BUT:
(1) they do seem to listen to feedback and appear to try to improve, and
(2) they cost a fraction that we get scammed by adobe.

While my subscription for acrobat doesn't end for a few more months... I am actively using Foxit now - with a view to using that alone in the future.......

LOL to changing display size. Thank you so much for this incredible, groundbreaking update!

At this point I'm convinced that the people at Adobe are just mocking their users.
Virtually every other PDF applications I've tried has been more UI-customizable than Suckrobat.

I'm just not really sure how it was determined that changing the display size has anything to do with the original request to customize the menus and tools. It's apparent that Adobe needs normal users to discuss the request to make sure they really understand what the problem is. You've really got to be grasping at straws to think display size and customization of menus means the same thing.

How delighted I am about this strange change as a Mac user. Yay! I'm also delighted that I can only log onto this forum using Safari from my Mac.

I remember when QuarkXpress was king. But they didn't listen to their users...

Since this works so bad, we are now working for getting rid of all adobe products. Even Ilustrator.
We will have a system that makes proofreading available thru the browser. We are also looking into replacing pdf with html. then it works great in both android and mac also. So if you ask me, Adobe is giant dinosaur of the past and the meteor is already on it's way to destroy it. I could write a book of all the bad Adobe managed to destroy. It feels like adobe just patches and patches their software. The files are huge and slow. Try to use Acrobat Pro over network... No go! Still get error messages after all these years.
Adobe should start to listen to their customers, but I think it's too late.

I've recommended "PDF Studio Pro" in the past - as a substitute for Adobe Acrobat.

I've now changed that to Foxit.... it's a different layout - but the "help" does (at this stage) seem to make efforts to understand and rectify "complaints" or feedback.....

Unlike what is evidenced in this thread.

I appears that the thrust of this thread has yet again been ignored completely.

ACTUAL RESOLUTION.....

"PDF Studio Pro 2020".

So many great suggestions here, all falling on def ears.
Adobe does not care, they just want their monthly subscription fee.
I work in the printing industry, with each passing year Acrobat moves away from my professional industry. Some of the Preflight tools are now painfully slow. The only innovation is in document management, proofing corporate communications and signing contracts. Adobe's true focus is Document Cloud, an enterprise document solutions money maker. That's why it's in the name Acrobat DC.

YES TO THIS. But sadly I think a Adobe just doesn't care.

Good luck, anonymous. This feature request has been "Under Review" for over 3 years. Given the number of votes and comments and hardly any response from Adobe, this feature request seems to have gone into a black hole.

Please give me the ability to chose exactly which buttons I have on my toolbar and where they are located. I want them to be in the order and placed where it is logical to me and what projects I'm working on.
Quick Tools:
- Might be useful if ALL actions were available, including the ones that are not listed under the various tool bars, for example send file by email.
- Needs to allow drag/drop and delete for the icons without going through the customize dialog.
Customize Quick Tools
- Allow addition of tools by double clicking on them as well as clicking on the plus sign;
- Allow deletion using keyboard.

* Give the option of removing the Share button that sends an adobe server link . Emailing files with or without encryption is my default. As several other commenters have noted, I need to be able to track what w documentation was sent when, and also do not want to send confidential files through Adobe.
* IF nothing else, could we at least have all the file menu tools together on the left hand side? It is illogical to split them off to the sides. With wider monitors the split means a lot more mouse movement.

I also wish there were more options for default view settings, in particular because my eyesight is bad and I wish I could increase the amount of screen real estate when opening the many pdfs I have to read for work. When you have a high volume of files to read, having to manually adjust each one so you can read it is very cumbersome and I'd like to know Adobe cares about people with limited eyesight over promoting its ecosystem. Very, very poor job so far. The greed is very apparent from the customer level.

"In continuation of my December 2020 comment, I am in favor of multiple tool bars, but I have worked around in a different way. In white area of toolbar, right click, in drop down list click customize quick tools. Select a feature you want, and add using +. On the tool bar ... when clicked shows your selected features. Clicking a feature will bring up corresponding tool bar for use. it would be nice to have customized tool bar, but this is better than nothing. I am not cheering Adobe for making us look for work around, but we have to adapt what we got."

Yes - you are correct - however the main problem is that the "share" button, the "provide feedback" button, the "help" button, the "notifications" and the "profile and settings" button CANNOT be hidden.

What's worse - adobe chooses not to refer to these as being "in" the toolbar - so if you ask how to get these off - they simply refer you to the process you state - which is of corse not to address the issue at all.

If we could "hide" these 5 fu<k!ng useless buttons, Adobe would be far more user-friendly - and able to share a screen with other applications without hiding the toolbar option that we DO use......

... but as adobe is full of non-thinking half-wits who blatantly CHOOSE to ignore simple customer comments and feedback - we are stuck with whatever some incompetant has decided we HAVE to pretend is a "feature"..........
