Turn on labels for toolbar icons?

How has this not been fixed yet?

"What happens when you enable the Button Labels?"

Nothing.

I was only able to use this function once and it didn't change anything, now it's greyed out and restarting Acrobat doesn't change anything.

@Adobe: For those of us having learned to read, how do we turn on the text labels for the toolbar icons? For example, rather than looking for a square with an "A" in it, how do we get the program to display the associated hover label for "Recognize Text..."

Many of your users have the ability to read and it would be preferrable to use the program in a post-preschool education configuration. Stated differently, I don't really care how cute your labels are. I just want to do my work without doing battle with Adobe PDF and trying to figure out which smily face or frowny face icon translates to various functions.

This thread has been open for 1.5 years. How is there not a solution to such a basic issue?

Such a nice bug!

Same here. Still not showing up.

Interesting - there even seems to be a setting for it... and it isn't woprking for me either!

I'll keep poking around to see if there's a way to get the labels to show.  Used to work!

My best,
