Hi Acrobat community

Can someone in the community please confirm if ADOBE intentionally removed "Remember Last state of the all tools pane when opening documents" in the 2025 version of Acrobat pro. ?

 

if so, then how do we modify .pdf documents to stop them continuously opening with the left hand tools pane opening. 

this is very frustrating. 

 

any feedback from the community is appreciated.

 

regards

JA

Hello @johna27747512

 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

 

Yes, the “Remember last state of the All tools pane when opening documents” setting in the 2025 version of Acrobat Pro is not available under the preferences settings. As of now, there’s no workaround to restore this behavior in Acrobat Pro 2025. For now, you can manually collapse the left-hand tools pane.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Do you know of any registry hack that would enable this feature? Perhaps they only removed the checkbox from the UI but the underlying feature is still around?
