Make Comments Toolbar Open Automatically/By Default
I would LOVE it if you folks could make the Comments Tool auto-open and/or by default somehow. I open lots and lots of pages every day and it would be really wonderful if the Comments just opened every time I opened a new doc.

Wanted to add another comment.... This is what happens when you try to outsource your customer service overseas and then treat the outsourced employees like ***** labor. If you are going to outsource, please train them and pay them a decent enough amount that they actually care if things get taken care of that customers are asking for, like the comments toolbar issues posted here. Respectfully, thank you.

I completely agree that adobe reader lacks toolbar customization functionality. I need comments toolbar to be there every time I open the software please. Also, I cant seem to add comments tools to the main toolbar like I can with other tools. Please address these issues sooner than later. Thank you.

In my case, I'm perfectly happy with the way Adobe chose to implement this (I haven't actually tried the upgrade yet - I'm just responding to other comments here). In addition to documents that come to me with comments I need to see, I open plenty of random PDFs that have no comments, and in those cases I wouldn't want the pane to take up space.
But I suppose if Adobe wants to make everyone happy, in a future upgrade they could expand the setting to be a three-item radio selection instead of a checkbox:
Show Comments Pane upon opening document:
● Never
● If the document contains comments
● Always -

The fix does work but only for half of the problem. Why limit the automatic activation of the comment toolbar to files that already contain comments? I'm sure that will help a number of people, but those of us who actually mark up files using the comments toolbar are still at square one. Please, please, please make it possible to have the comments toolbar open automatically regardless of whether or not a file contains preexisting comments.

The implemented fix for this does work as described -- thank you! -- BUT this functionality would be most useful if the commenting toolbar could be set to open for *all* files when opened, not just for files with comments. (In my situation, I use Acrobat mainly to comment on files that do not already have comments, so I end up having to open the commenting toolbar again and again.)

the latest update for Adobe Acrobat pro which has a feature to fix comments toolbar when opening a pdf document with comments inside did not work !!
I got this email and applied the instructions, but it did not work.
I Quote:
"
In case comment app does not open by default for the first time, please follow the steps:
1. In Acrobat, go to Edit > Preferences (Windows), or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac).
2. Under Commenting, select the option – Show Comments Pane When A PDF With Comments Is Opened. Click OK.Kindly try it out and let us know your feedback!
Thanks for your patience and support!Regards,
Arvind

End of QuoteI need this comments tool bar always open whenever I open any file !!

It is far more better to have adobe reader just like photoshop or indesign with the ability to make one's special user interface, like essential or personal,..

A setting that would allow a user to designate the Edit Tool, for example, so that the Edit Tool would open automatically whenever the user opened a PDF.

Comments should totally be a default setting you can choose to always have that side panel open. It's annoying that it is not already an option.

Yes please. My prior version (IX Pro) did have this sand I miss it every time I open a pdf.

Also agree. I need to see comments on the majority of PDFs I view. If nothing else, it should be re-opened when I have "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" clicked and had comments open previously.

It should be possible to set a default selection or viewing tool on startup. (Other than selection or hand) Currently you need to select other tools with shortcuts or other actions.
According to this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1461704
This functionality is not part of Acrobat currentlyIt would be useful in my line of work to have the loupe or marquee tool be the default when opening a new file or restarting the app.

For the tool "comment," please allow users to keep that toolbar open, even when opening new files. It is a huge pain to keep clicking every time

Yes, please!!! Modernization of a program should not result in loss of functionality and more steps to accomplish a task. Having to reactivate/reopen the Comments toolbar when opening a new file may not seem like a major ordeal, but when you work with multiple files throughout the day (every day) it can wear on your nerves.
