(thinking…)

2023 version should be able to "hide the tools" option.

**** annoying to close the tools when opening a document. The "last tools state" doesn't work in the preferences. Gone back to the old look-n-feel.

    Boy, what a waste of time to have to close out both side menus so you can see the document, every time you open a new PDF file !!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to use another reader until Adobe gets this fixed.

    I'm unsure about versions preceding last current one v24.002.20687 I've started re-using again, but as of now inside Acrobat Reader DC MUI Preferences -> Documents there's a 'Remember last state of the All Tools pane when opening documents' that works fine and since after I enabled it allowed me to avoid seeing that pane every time I open Acrobat Reader DC.

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are pleased to inform that we have taken this concern into consideration and will be deploying this feature in December.

    This privilege is already supported in Acrobat and we will now be supporting the same in Reader as well.

    Path in Acrobat : Hamburger > Preferences > Documents > Restore last view settings on reopening the documents.

    Best,
    Bhawna.
