How do I enlarge the too (right hand) pane in adobe acrobat DC?

I want to make the tool(right hand) pane bigger so I can see form filed names but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I can see a way to make the left hand pane bigger by holding the cursor on the right hand edge of the pane till I get the double bar with the arrows attached symbol, at which point I can drag the edge of the tool pane and make it larger. However, that option does nor seem to be availabe for the tool (right hand) pane.

 

Can I adjust the size of the tool (right hand) pane nad if so how do I do it? I can't see to find anything on this in the forums or on the internet

Kind regards

Robert Smith

Yes. Unfortunately, only the comments panel can be enlarged.

This makes no sense. Being able to widen the tools pane is extremely useful when you wnat to review the field names when making forms.

It's been like that for about 10 years, ever since Acrobat X.

Unfortunately, no, it can't be adjusted. You can only hide or show it (or show only the icons), but not adjust its size manually.

This is indeed a very big problem when working with form fields in Acrobat DC, and not the only one, sadly.

Still?  In 2023 we cannot widen the Tools pane?
