How to add Marquee Zoom to Quick Tools in Acrobat Pro DC for PC

Earlier version of Acrobat allowed you to add any of the zoom or view tools to the quick access toobar.  I am running Acrobat Pro DC Ver 2018.0011.00238 for desktop PC, and cannot figure out how to do this.  The Marquee Zoom is not listed in any of the tools categories, there is no "Show Select & Zoom" category, and right clicking marquee zoom in the menu dropdown only activates it temporarily--it does not show up on the quick tools bar.

Any suggestions?  Zoom tools are such basic and useful functions it boggles me that they are not either on the toolbar by default, or easily added.  There is not even a shortcut key for it.

    Ahhh, found it! The page navigation features are now in the lower right corner of the document. I clicked on the single page view icon. That opened a list of page view choices. At the bottom of the list is Other Tools. Click on that and you'll see the Marquee Zoom tool. You can"pin" the tool to the page navigation toolbar by clicking on the pushpin.

    Upon the recent installation of Adobe Acrobat 2023 with the new arrangement of tools and toolbars, I have lost the Marquee Zoom tool in my tool bar. I can navigate to it, but there is no longer a collection of  "Select and Zoom" tools from which to choose when customizing my Toolbar. Anyone have the NEW solution to this problem for the 2023 Acrobat edition??

      Thank you for this! I was afraid they'd taken away the option to pin it but am relieved that it's still there though not very easy to find.

      See the above instructions by Anand Sri. I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and this worked for me. Thank you, Anand!

      I'm using pro-DC using 2021.011.20039 --Using Marquee Zoom why can I not move the highlight square in Thmbnail.The hand appears but no movement. I found this to be a very helpful zoom.

      I used to be able do this  in Pro DC 2015.

      Hello GRHooper,

      We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, you want to add Marquee Zoom tool to the Quick access toolbar in Acrobat Pro DC, Is that correct?

      Please open any PDF file in Acrobat Pro DC, and navigate to View>Show/Hide>Toolbar items>Show Select&Zoom tools>Marquee Zoom.

      Once you will select it, you can see Marquee Zoom icon in the toolbar thus becoming easier for you to access from there.

      You may also refer to Adobe Acrobat Workspace basics

      Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

      Regards,

      Anand Sri.
