As title - every time I start Reader it gives a side-bar that I think is called the task pane.

How do I stop this?

TIA

Hi Craig,

If you are willing to disable Tool pane in Adobe Reader DC, then yes it can be done by making a slight change in the Reader's preferences setting.

Here are the steps of how you can disable Tool pane, please refer: Permanently close the Tools pane in Acrobat Reader DC

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Akki_24,

Thanks very much for this - it confused me because "right click" calls it the "Task Pane" but the Preferences option calls it the "Tools Pane".

I can see documents full size in the Window now when I open them, rather than having a quarter of the window full of the "Tools" pane, then having to minimise this before closing it completely as well. If I want to use Tools I can always use the "Tools" drop-down menu.

Thanks again

Craig

These steps don't have any effect. The "All tools" pane opens every time, which is extremely annoying, as it takes up a lot of real estate.
