I have been searching for a replacement to Adobe Reader just because of this annoying floating panel. 
Dear developers, maybe you can refresh your program to make it more modern, I mean, why not click on the panel to remove it?
Why should I search for these setting somewhere in those millions of options in Preferences (and you won't find what you need guaranteed because a simple program for reading pdf became into a weird giant with millions of whatever there is but adjustability).

This floating tool bar is THE WORST, MOST ANNOYING THING EVER!  Why can't we control it?  Why can't I put bookmarks view back on the left?

This seems to work here:

  • Reset your toolbars to confirm the Page Controls toolbar is docked at the top with the others
    (Alt or Option + F8)
  • Hide the Page Controls toolbar in View > Show / Hide > Page Controls > Hide Page Controls
  • Hide the other toolbars (F8)

 

I've just played with this and it appears to be sticking.

Solution does not work on newest Acrobat version. i needed to "Disable New Acrobat" first to get rid of the irritating floating toolbar. I would like to have an option to dock the toolbar also in the new interface.

The solution was correct in 2020 when the OP posted. The New Experience did not exist then. Please start a new thread so we can better address your issue.
