Floating toolbar
Access to our most used actions in a toolbar is excellent, but the floating toolbar is so annoying because it is on top of the content of the opened document. It would be better if we could customise where the toolbar should be and have the ability to dock it without it so it is not on top of the content.
Older versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro allowed it to be on the top horizontally, which used to work perfectly for me. Please let users decide how best to interact with Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Ask your IT team. They got it to go away somehow.

I see the comments on this were from 2024. Here we are, over a year later and the problem still persists. Does Adobe plan to fix this problem? Yes, I called it a problem because it is. The only way I've found around not being able to hide the floating toolbar is to revert back - disable new Acrobat! I can't even dock the toolbar! Please fix.

The new Acrobat design brought a more minimalistic look, that is fine! But when you make the toolbar customisable, please make it fully customizable. For instance the two most used tools are the arrow and the hand tool. Why are they under one button?? I always have to click and hold and wait before I can switch between these tools. After going to the million preferences i found a setting to activate "keyboard shortcuts", great! This helps a bit, now I can use the H and V buttons. But still just make this program interface similar to the other Adobe applications. With fully editable toolsbars and keyboard shortcuts. Also make the "save as..." button a default one please, it is the most used button and it is not even there by default.

That's right! It's so boring that it always be floating on the contents when I'm reading two files side by side. Now it's time to make it fixed at some positions, depends on the user's choice.

Exactly, there's all this empty space right here (see screenshot) where this toolbar could be located without using up any document real estate!
