Option to hide pages and bookmarks panels by default when opening a document
There should be a default setting to hide pages and bookmarks when I open a document. I don't use the functions and don't find them useful. I shouldn't need to close these panels every time I open a document. I don't care what the document properties are.

I am not an intensive user but even I find this bookmark section invasive to the point that I have signed up today to be able to add my comments. It is annoying, time consuming when I have lots of tasks and most of all it is a very simple option for adobe to provide, If you are truly customer and user focused then you should fix this without delay

So tired of being forced to close the bookmarks panel ever single time I open a bank statement or tax document. This is happening literally dozens of times a day during tax season. What a ridiculous waste of time. Give me an option to turn the thing off universally for all documents! This wasn't the case in previous versions.

I'm constantly opening new files for my job and the fact that the bookmark tab opens for *literally every single one* is always so annoying. Especially because they never even have bookmarks. Please adjust this so it can be set as a preference on the user end.

I open pdf on a potrait style monitor. These panels block two thirds of the view every time I open a document

This is one of the most IRRITATING "features" about Acrobat Reader!
I open dozens of different PDF documents daily in my work and having this constant bookmark pop up opened is POINTLESS.
I waste so much time constantly closing it down and I don't have time to change individual document properties for each file that I use more frequently, and then save it again to overcome this BUG.
There MUST absolutely be a global setting added to Preferences where you can have the Bookmark tab auto-open function TURNED OFF / DISABLED. This should override any individual document.

This is the single most irritating thing about using Adobe for viewing PDFs. Windows screens are already overcrowded.

I can't believe we even have to discuss this - user experience should be customizable by the user, not the document, not the developer. What is this? 1987?
Every single time I open a document (even those I create myself), one third of the window is gien to "All tools", slightly more than one third to "Bookmarks", and whatever's left is used for the document. I have no use for either of those tabs, close them every single time, because otherwise the document is unreadable.
What were you thinking with this "feature"?

I don't need a large, usually empty panel covering half the page every time I open a PDF.
