After some update the number of which I am unware, Acrobat began showing a 'tool panel' or 'comment panel' ON TOP OF THE CONTENT  of the document, something that is really getting in the way of my reading it. So, would someome be so kind as to tell me the name of this panel and how to disable it? Thank you very much.

    Yes, this is driving me crazy too!  I use Acrobat to do editing, and now I have this (apparently immovable?) toolbar (the "Quick Tools" toolbar?) actually blocking content I need to be able to see.  I came here today hoping to find instructions for moving this toolbar to the top or somewhere else where it wouldn't block the content I need to work with?  

     

    Please note: I ALSO do NOT want this toolbar to take up a dedicated strip of real estate to the left of the content window.  Content is already squeezed (due to the comments window taking up so much real estate to the right) so that I have to scroll from left and right to actually read content when it's magnified enough to read.  I just want these tools at the top of the screen where they're easy to access and NOT IN THE WAY.  Why on earth did this change?  Please at least give users the ability to customize this so that those of us who need to be actually be able to read the text we're working with can do so.

      Hi there

       

      Hope you are doing well.

       

      The new version of Acrobat (23.06.20320) is now available addressing the fix for this issue. Please update the application from the Help menu > Check for Updates and reboot the computer once.

       

      You may also download the patch manually from the link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

      My version of Acrobat is already the one you mentioned. Nonetheless, the problem persists.
