Minimize Floating Toolbar

The floating toolbar seems purposed for newer users. It would be helpful if the following was done with the floating toolbar.
- Enable the toolbar to be transparent
- Allow the toolbar to be docked on the right panel
- Enable the toolbar to automatically minimize when not in use
- Allow users to remove the default tools

A few features that are quite nice about the toolbar:
- Contextual menus are immediately activated and brought into view once a tool is selected
- Various related tools can be pinned to the floating toolbar
- The toolbar can be moved about the page

Thanks for your work in constantly improving a quality product.

    Honestly, I'll find a new pdf user if I can't move this toolbar. I just want to read documents. I don't need a solid portion of my screen permanently devoted to a toolbar that I can't hide or remove. Whoever thought of this should be prevented from ever working in US design again. Who in the world implements a non-minimizable, non deletable set of buttons in a READING application. Imagine if your kindle just had a flooting toolbar on top of every book you read.

    Yes please allow the toolbar to be docked. Also please allow marquee zoom tool to be added to the toolbar.

    Agree with original commentors suggestions of:
    - Allow the toolbar to be docked on the right panel
    - Enable the toolbar to automatically minimize when not in use

    I constantly need to move the toolbar to read docs, especially in landscape orientation. Please make it able to be hidden or docked.

    I want a way to put the toolbar back in the dock at the top. It's in the way of my document.

    This window/text blocking floating toolbar is aggrevating. Yes it can be moved.... but neve out of the way. Never onto an aleady existing toolar.... which isn't very busy. Adobe please give you very loyal customers a viable method to get the most out of the acrobat product, without being hamstrung with certain muck that currently has no method to be ridfrom. Thank you.
