How to simplify the overly complex Reader

My company deals with PDF copies of drawings on a daily basis, and all the myriad of tool bars and crap around the parameter of the application reduces the drawings to the point they are illegible.  So the hundreds of users have to mouse around and hide these tool bars, resulting is countless clicking and inefficiencies on a daily basis.  The reader is embedded into our PLM system as a viewer, but we also use the Adobe reader as a standalone applications too, and in both cases the situation is the same.  How can we, by default hide, all these toolbars?  98% of our PDF work is simply reading the drawing/document, yet to do that we have to remove these toolbars each and every time.

You can use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC to create an installer that will disable certain features, menus and panels (although not all) by default.
