How do I move the quick actions toolbar in Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20281 on a Mac?

I'm using Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20281 on a Mac OS 12.5. In past versions I could dock the Quick Actions Toolbar to the top of the window, but in this version of Acrobat, it hovers in the upper left, sometimes covering art that I need to see when zooming in. Is there a way to dock it so it isn't hovering, or at least temporarily hide it? The attached image shows how it is "floating" above the window. I need it to not float so it doesn't cover my PDF workspace. Thanks!

Hi @Michael C.38448635x8ie @Devyn36647420nuoh,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

Answering Michael, If you hover on the floating toolbar towards the top horizontal bar, your mouse icon should change to a hand tool, and you can move the toolbar to a position that suits you.

 

Answering Devyn, if you update your Acrobat to the latest version (go to Help-> Check for updates), you should be able to customize the tool bar using the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar (screenshot attached for reference)

 

If this does not work, please feel free to write back, and we can troubleshoot further.

I hate that it can't be docked too. I use the zoom feature alot. Looking to maybe use something else if this can't be fixed.

Replying to document yet another user's frustration with this inflexibility.

Hey Adobe, are you going to fix this annoying feature? This "floating" toolbar has to be one of the useless features ever. Please let us rearrange the workspace to get this intrusive thing off of our document.

Still no other solution than to Disable New Acrobat as of today.

Hi Joshua Love,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

This is the new User Interface behavior. Currently, we do not have any option to move the toolbar. 

We will check with the team if we can remove it or hide it when zooming in on the PDF and will update you.

 

We appreciate your patience.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Thanks. I'd appreciate a way to hide it or move it (preferably dock it like before), as it currently slows down some of my work as it is placed now.
