    @Sarah Ochs A MAC won't have Windows Registry. Someone will have to come up with a similar work-around for MAC. If it is possible, it probably involves editing a plist file for adobe to set navpanes = 0. See Adobe link on changing settings below.

    That registry setting only worked in some cases, and it stopped working after a period of time, so that is not a solution.

    I tried the registry setting changes described below.
    It works for opening new files.
    But, if I Open Recent Files from within Acrobat, it doesn't work.
    So, there still isn't a perfect solution.

    I've wanted this "feature" gone for years. It is so annoying to have to close the bookmarks panel every time I open a PDF because it wastes so much space on the screen and provides zero information. By default, the bookmarks panel should be closed. Or, give an option to have the default be bookmarks panel closed.
