Opening PDF with parameters

Question

I am using Acrobat Reader DC in my IE. I need to open it with parameters which allow me to hide all panels except top toolbar. Previously it was working fine with those parameters:

>#navpanes=0&toolbar=1

But after latest updates it seems like right panel is treated as a toolbar, and is always visible when toolbar is set to 1. Is there any way to hide TaskPane using parameters?

I can't set it in app preferences because I need to make sure that my document will be opened on every PC without that panel and I can't change it on every PC.

Only document which I found is

https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcrobatDC_pdf_open_parameters.pdf

but it is from 2015, and I think it is not up to date.

Unfortunately, yes, that's the case. And considering that this feature is not supported almost anywhere I don't expect it to be updated, either.

Adobe have not been enthusiastic about giving ways to hide this panel. I believe it is seen as a core marketing tool. Unfortunately without commercialisation, there won’t be a free Reader.
