How do you display the LHP Navigation Strip only (not the Thumbnails panel) every time you open a pdf? I don't want to pin the thumbnails panel, i just want to see the Strip when i open my pdf.

I found how to show the Navigator Panel in Acrobat DC.

Edit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Acrobat.Document.DC\shell\Open\command

to read "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" /A "navpanes=1" "%1"

I wish Adobe would make this an easy option.

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience that you are facing with acrobat.
If you want to view the thumbnails on a specific PDF, you can always Expand the left hand panel and click on the Page thumbnails icon and that will open the thumbnails panel for that pdf for you

With Acrobat Continuous Build, we support keeping any Navigation pane pinned, i.e. to open by default for all the documents in the LHP.
This is how you can try this out:

1) Launch any PDF and Expand the Panel that you want the acrobat to open by default for every document(For Ex. Page Thumbnails)
2) Right click on the LHP Navigation strip , Select the option from the context menu “Pin Page thumbnails” .
3) now try out by launching any other pdf -> You will observe that the Page thumbnails panel would appear expanded by default on launch(If document does not have any other document specific preference )

Refer here for more info on this helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new.html -> “Retain the last LHP state across Acrobat launches”

Let me know for any other Ask in this.

Why don't Adobe answer questions?

It used to be much more intuitive to find the menu that allowed you to view thumbnails. Can you put this under "View"?
