Remove the big blue "Share" button
You have absolutely no control over the choice of menu design, forced to look at a big blue “share” button, a feedback button and a question mark. When operating in half screen the frequently used menu items I have chosen are hidden, because you think I want to share, learn or send feedback. Give me the ability to remove and take charge of my workspace environment.
With our latest release on 11th Dec. 2018, the issue reported by you has been addressed.
If your product has not already been updated, to get the latest product update, click on the menu Help —> Check for updates in the product.
You can now customize it by right clicking on the Toolbar and selecting appropriate option.

Now that we can hide the big blue "share" button it would be nice to be able to also COMPLETELY hide the "provide feedback", "learn Acrobat Pro DC", and "profile and settings" icons. All these should be on the right task pane.
Thank-you

The most recent update, adding ability to "Hide Share Button Label" so it changes from the big blue Share button to a much smaller greyed-out icon is a positive change for me, all my tool bar icons fit across the width of the screen now . . . just barely and at least until I add more, but they fit for now. So good start, thank you.

Well, at least I don't see the big blue zit anymore with this "fix". Now if they would gray out the icons on the tool bar we'd be on to something. And what is that icon for Profile and Settings, the blue Pac Man icon?

I'm really hoping this is just a temporary hot fix and NOT the permanent solution. We need the ability to REMOVE ANY toolbar item, not just make one button smaller.

If hiding the word SHARE and removing the color blue from the button is listening to users, I wish you were my parent growing up. It would have been great to clean part of a room or take the trash halfway down to the curb.
Ask your marketing people if the Share feature was so stellar, then why are people begging to have the button removed entirely. I can name at least 5 methods of sharing files that don't require an Adobe account.
If anyone is old enough to remember AOL software, you know what happens when you install an Adobe product on your computer. It's like a virus. A worm.

Yes! Folks, just right click the Toolbar and click Show/Hide Share Button Label. Thank you Adobe for listening to your users.

The button is still there taking up precious space on the toolbar... they added the option to basically toggle the button icon so it is either the big blue button or a smaller grey icon, but still, no way to completely remove it or any of the other buttons next to it that are rarely ever used. Kind of a laugh in the face if you ask me.

Adding my vote to this request - PLEASE GIVE US THE ABILITY TO (EASILY) REMOVE THIS ANNOYING SHARE BUTTON, which should be OFF by default.
Very design poor choice, which fails to recognize the real needs of your clientele. Apparently in hopes you can add another revenue stream/generator (through data collection) to your business. Now looking at alternatives...

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Add option to customize toolbar by being able to delete unused "sign in" and blue "share" button

Yes, please get rid of this or make it optional. It is HUGE and obtrusive (and for me, of no use).

Please make the "SHARE" button optional, as well as any function that takes space in the tool bar

Or at least give me the option to.

Adobe, what were you thinking with this big, blue, awful Share button? You should be ashamed of yourselves implementing a feature in this way with no option of shutting it off.
Real estate on my laptop screen is very valuable, and by wasting all this space you are showing that you're not interested in helping me do my work. The only thing this has accomplished is to get me to try PDF Expert. You should AT LEAST allow me to shut it off by letting me un-check a box in Preferences. -

Remove the big blue Share button in the menu bar. It gets in the way of my tools and shortcuts. Have no need for a button to share a PDF.

And stop the popups related to the Share button, such as “Try Adobe Scan app,” blah, blah, blah. Advertisements and distractions within PAID software are completely inappropriate.
