An error occurred while saving the comment 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)

See the attached picture.
You can also put the entire document on fullscreen.

An error occurred while saving the comment There's a button in the menu labelled “Disable new Acrobat” that you can press to revert to the old interface. I've highlighted it in the attached image.
Keep in mind that change is inevitable in situations like this, so unfortunately the old UI will be phased out at some point or another.

I'm not an Adobe employee, but I want to say thanks for the detailed thoughts! These types of posts are much better than the generic "new UI sucks", which are guaranteed to come up no matter what you do.
Alas, changes like these are never optimized for those who are used to the old interface; their main goal has and will always be to give a different *first* impression to new users. In my eyes, that is unfortunate.
Here are some "duct tape fixes" for the time being:
1. The menu bar being compacted into this singularity bar is weird and unfamiliar but not surprising. I like these bars when they are organized well, but when there's stuff like a giant long list it is a bit cluttered. I would suggest muscle-memorying the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+K for preferences, etc.) for now.
2. For me, there is a hover title that appears when I hover over long filenames; it's just that the little popup is modernized with white text on gray. You can also consider setting the PDF title, which will show on the tab bar instead of the filename should your application be set up that way.
In case you haven't found it yet, you can always revert back to the old UI for the time being if you would prefer it. Everybody who is used to the old UI is going to hate the new UI for some reason or another, so I hope they keep the old UI around for at least a reasonable amount of time.
P.S. Looks like you're not the only one to notice the questionable design choices of UserVoice. For some reason, Markdown formatting works in the post but not in the comments.
