This is basically my only complaint about Acrobat and it is truly infuriating to me. I made an account just to comment on this. I open dozens of PDFs every day and having that giant panel take up a third of my viewing screen every time makes me want to smash my keyboard. There are a LOT of forums on various sites about this, people will usually say "it's a document property, Adobe can't do anything about it", but there's no reason a viewer can't be setup to overrule a document property for the user's experience. It's not even disabling the bookmarks, we're literally just talking about having the panel collapsed as a default.
