Adobe Acrobat - Permanently Disable Home Screen Feature

New Here ,
Jan 11, 2023 Jan 11, 2023

Please describe the exact preference in Adobe Acrobat Pro that permanently disables the Home Screen feature. Please don't send a pointless link to directions that don't solve my problem. Tell me exactly how to disable this pointless and annoying feature.

Simply uncheck this option in the Preferences (macOS only, not available for the Windows version).

Thanks @JR Boulay , tried that. Homescreen still shows on open.

Acrobat engineers getting bored on what should be a simple utility app and messing.

Latest is removing vertical scrollbar from single-page view.

It's the OS settings that manage the scrollbars, not the software.

JR Boulay please stop answering on this thread. None of your - often repeated - suggestions work. The homescreen is not removeable. Adobe will need to code this solution into the software.

I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you, but assume I tested it before posting and it works fine on my Mac.

And it seems it works for others too, because I didn't upvote my answers, nor did I select "Correct answer."

Replying here - still not solved May 2025. None of JR Boulay's responses are effective. Adobe will need to code in this functionality.
