Question

Remove sections from custom tools in Acrobat

I'm creating some custom tool sets in Acrobat. I've created sections to divide the tools within the set, but now I want to remove one of the sections. I can delete items from the section, but there is no option to delete the section itself. In the attached example I want to remove the section PitStop View, but as you can see the trash can is greyed out. Is this possible or do I have to rebuild my entire tool set just to remove an unneeded section? Thanks for any Tips!

Select the section label.

Hi Bernd,

I tried that, but even with the label selected, the trash can icon is still grayed out for some reason. I did find that I could export the tool set, open the exported .aaui file in Text Edit, remove the lines of text corresponding to the section label then save and reimport the tool set and that did the trick, but can't seem to figure out why I can't just remove it in Acrobat. Thanks for the help!

May be issue of Acrobat on the Mac.
