When I select “Edit PDF” option, the “All Tools” pane disappears.

This issue seems persistent.

I’ve tried looking at the view/show settings.

Running a repair on the installation.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling Adobe Acrobat.

Can someone please help or provide some suggestions?

Thank you,

Correct answer Anand Sri Bhattacharya

Hi All,

Thanks for your patience and cooperation on this.

The patch is available with the fix 26.001.21691, Planned update, Jun 25, 2026. Please install the latest build of Acrobat from Menu > Help> Check for updates. Restart the machine after installing the updates, and check the performance of the app.

Let us know if you experience any issues after installing the latest build

Regards,

Anand Sri.

I’m having the exact same problem along with the rest of my team. The only solution is to disable the new adobe from the menu. A few of us have tried uninstalling/installing/repairing but nothing fixes the issue.

Several users in our org have reported this starting today. Updated to latest version available (26.001.21677) doesn’t recover the panel. We’re currently using the workaround of disabling “new adobe”. I haven’t tried uninstalling/reinstalling though.

Disabling New Adobe under Menu seems to allow me to use the tools in the meantime. Unsure when this bug will be fixed.

Hi NursingNnenna, and KGoodwin2,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.

Please confirm if the issue started recently. If yes, could you please share the current Acrobat and OS version numbers installed on the machine.

In the meantime, please try reinstalling once again using the steps suggested below:

Remove the application and run the cleaner tool (https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html).
Reboot the machine
Now install Adobe Acrobat from the following page: Download Acrobat.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
