Enable user to hide the "Tools" menu in preferences
It takes up so much room and I want to see my document not a menu I'm not going to use.

Darren: Button? UI?
It was the latest desktop version. What I did didn't show or hide anything it just put the display back to the previous version (without the massive tools menu taking up half of the screen).
Everything, including the menus, have gone back to the previous version.

For Sam: it doesn't need to stay on as you can get in and out of it really easy. Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+H.
Helen Stansfield: the setting you mentioned is a button to enable keyboard shortcuts for tools; for me it doesn't appear to show or hide anything. Are you using new Acrobat UI or old? (you can switch back and forth between the two)

Read mode does not stay on for me... How do you get to preferences?

This is the desktop version which is in Read Mode by default.
I got rid of it - Preferences, General, select the top option, closed the document, re-open it and it everything was back to the previous view.
WARNING - THE TAKES THE DISPLAY BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION WITH NO APPARENT WAY TO CHANGE IT BACK...

You should try using the ‘read mode’ feature, which lets you hide all the editing menus in the app. When you're in read mode, there's just a minimalistic menu bar at the bottom of the screen which quickly disappears if you stop moving your mouse. See the attached picture.
You can also put the entire document on fullscreen.
