Question

Hide Adobe Account Menu Buttons (share, feedback, help, notifications, profile)

Is there any way to hide these fixed menu buttons?

 

I'd also love to hide the "Home", "Tools", and "Document" tabs at the top left, if possible. 

These are all cluttering my workspace and I like to have only what I need up top.

    I was looking for an answer here as well since I have the same problem. When I snap Adobe to the left or right of my screen it shrinks the window and hides the buttons I need to use, like fit to page, zoom, and editing. Other versions of Acrobat worked better.

      I also work with Acrobat snapped to the left/right to use other apps at the same time, and the only thing that has allowed me to see the buttons I need is making the display smaller. View>Display Size>Small

      I hope this works for you too!

      For some reason the "small" option is greyed out when I navigate to that option as you describe. Any ideas?

        I deleted my answer when I realized that your question is about buttons, not about menu items.

        My answer was :

        Just uses the "hideMenuItem" method: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/acrobat_dc_sdk/2015/HTMLHelp/Acro12_MasterBook/JS_API_AcroJS/app_methods.htm?rhhlterm=hideMenuItem&rhsyns=%20#XREF_35938_hideMenuItem

          Thanks JR! Not sure where your reply went but I saw it in my email notification (now it's just dots). 

           

          I have listed the menu items in the javascript console; now the trick is identifying the variable under which these are stored in order to hide it.

          Hi Quipstad,

           

          We are sorry for the experience. As described above you want to hide the "Home", "Tools", and "Document" tabs at the top left.

           

          This is a design behavior and we can not customize these options. However, there is an option to hide the menu bar using the F9 key on the keyboard and Tools bar using the F8 key OR go to View>> Showhide>> Menu bar/Toolbar items.

           

          You may also, refer to the help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/is-it-possible-to-permanently-hide-the-menu-tools-bar-in-acrobat.html and see if that works 

           

          Let us know how it goes. 

           

          Regards

          Amal

          100% agree. I often shrink PDF doc (to move between multiple docs on my screen), and when I do so ALL I SEE are the darn Share, Feedback, Learn, Notifications and Account icons. Not any of the tools I actually need and use.

           

          I know this is a built-in "feature," can't be altered, etc. But I wish Adobe would listen to its customers.
