Acrobat for Windows and Mac: User Interface

Tools

  1. You should be able to "pin" tool bars of your choosing and have them automatically be in your workspace when you open a pdf.

This use to work and now does not. It is extremely frustrating.

  1. There are way too many clicks involved to open up the navigation pane. I should not have to memorize shortcuts to do such a simple task.

    @Ayush Jain. Thanks. I followed your 7 steps to creating a customized toolbar. It was successful! However, I cannot find the "Pin functionality" that you mentioned. Because of that each time I have to click on the shortcut to the customized toolbar in order to open it.
    Please, how do I go about pinning my customized toolbar as my default toolbar, so that each time I open a pdf file it will be there?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    In that case , you can browser through acrobat tool center and look for "Create Custom Tool" app.

    you can create a new app for yourself with all the tools that you use and save it with a name of your choice.
    get this App added to the right hand panel Favorite App list and whenever you open any pdf you just have to click once to open your complete set of tools in that custom app.

    Let me know if that helps you.

    Thanks

    I have used the method below to create my own tool set. However, I believe the goal was to have "my new tool set" automatically visible whenever I open a PDF. Currently I still have to click to access "my new tool set" when I open a PDF. Could it be a "preference" to use the tool set of your choice?

    Thank you for sharing your concern.
    You can customize your toolbar to contain different tools. Please follow steps below

    Step1: Open any pdf and right click on top toolbar(just above the pdf content)
    Step2: Click on "Customize Quick Tools"
    Step3: A new Customize quick tools windows appears.
    Step4: Select the desired tools from "Choose tools to add" section
    Step5: Select the individual tool from different categories
    Step6: After selecting the tool click on "Up arrow" on right side of window
    Step7: After adding the tool click on Save

    Once you have added the tools in toolbar you can directly use them from toolbar.

    Regarding too many clicks to open Navigation Pane, You can simply expand the Left hand Navigation pane and also use the "Pin" functionality to Pin any Particular navigation pane so that that navigation pane will always appears as expanded for you whenever you open any PDF.

    Hope this helps. Let me know for further concerns here.

    -Ayush
