How do I move the quick actions toolbar in Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20281 on a Mac?

[Joshua Love]

I'm using Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20281 on a Mac OS 12.5. In past versions I could dock the Quick Actions Toolbar to the top of the window, but in this version of Acrobat, it hovers in the upper left, sometimes covering art that I need to see when zooming in. Is there a way to dock it so it isn't hovering, or at least temporarily hide it? The attached image shows how it is "floating" above the window. I need it to not float so it doesn't cover my PDF workspace. Thanks!

Hi Joshua Love,

Thank you for reaching out.

This is the new User Interface behavior. Currently, we do not have any option to move the toolbar. 

We will check with the team if we can remove it or hide it when zooming in on the PDF and will update you.

We appreciate your patience.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Thanks. I'd appreciate a way to hide it or move it (preferably dock it like before), as it currently slows down some of my work as it is placed now.

Let me get this straight:

It is a new feature of your PDF viewer application to hide part of the document without exception? Is there even a way to move it? I can't figure out a touch taget for that.  I simply want to view a PDF, and Reader continues to add more "features" that distract from the baseline of the program. 

[Shane Herbert]

Agreed - this painful thing is in the way. 

[Kelly23803035664q]

Has anyone figured this out yet

[Ted29409398ss9v]

This is totally stupid, you're ruined a perfectly good program.  

[Lulu1775]

Agreed!! They always ruin what works! Why do these companies think that they need to mess with processes that work? It's soooo frustrating!!!

I also vote for a PERMANENT option to restore the toolbar to the top of the document.  Not being able to easily adjust zoom, change pages, etc. is maddening.

The last good user interface was Acrobat 12, after that everything has been down hill. Personally that is the version I use, 12 or below. Unfortunately Windows and Office has done the same, it is more important to bring a new design that a functional one. The last good UI was -Windows 7, the last good Office interface was 2003. I don't know who started the line of thought that having things disapearing or transparent in production or work software was something good. Newer user interfaces for Adobe and Microsoft try to imitate working on phone or tablets and they completely forget the real user who is actually trying to have work done in a computer. Trying to find out where the things go when they disapear or how to move something that is covering your work surface is not the reason why we are using your software. If changes in user interface do not make the work easier, then is causing issues for those who are trying to use it for work. Production software does not have to be cool, has to be practical, handy, intuitive. That is why I have to use old software while I can.

Hey Adobe, are you going to fix this annoying feature? This "floating" toolbar has to be one of the useless features ever. Please let us rearrange the workspace to get this intrusive thing off of our document.

Replying to document yet another user's frustration with this inflexibility.

[Deena264312739w2y]

I hate that it can't be docked too. I use the zoom feature alot. Looking to maybe use something else if this can't be fixed.

[Cory28592027ot3n]

So absolutely annoying - please fix as soon as possible, this is so frustrating

[G_Alex_007]

Could not agree much more!!!

My Acrobat Pro was recently updated and now the tool bars are on the opposite side of my document.  This just caused me to have to change my written instructions with screenshots on a document I've been working on for weeks!  I cannot find anywhere a solution that shows how to move the tool bars where you want them.  Apparently they are fixed. We should have the option to choose what side of the page the tool bars sit.  Now I have to retrain how I work because the tools and navigation panes have been switched.  What was the reason for this?  And the floating toolbar is in the way!  Can't you fix it so we can arrange our workspace for how we work or change it back to the way it was?  This is so frustrating, and I've wasted hours just trying to find a solution.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  So upsetting!

It's been four months. Fix it.

[Mimi29047886lq18]

It would make more sense to dock the quick action toolbar in the pages/navigation sidebar on the right side.

I've removed as many quick tools as possible to reduce the size of the quick action toolbar, but 6 tools have been selected as default and can't be removed.

[suzannef47728348]

I agree. I'm looking at an agenda and double checking times. The toolbar blocks the first time listed so I have no idea if the time listed is corrected. Adobe, this is a major issue, please fix it!

I am withdrawing my subscription from Adobe PRO and moving to Foxit. It is incredibly annoying that they cannot fix this simple thing in months. 

[Timothy293311832eac]

Agreed, it would be great to be able to move/remove/add tools in Adobe. Being able to remove the Quick Actions is a start, but I also think it'd be better if users could place tools on the top toolbar like in previous editions (and in almost every other MS Office product). Users would likely feel more comfortbale using your product if they could arrange their editing workspace in a way that suits them - not being forced to view things the way Adobe demands.

[Dawn29332457f59g]

I agree!!! The change is very frustrating!

Under View>Disable New Acrobat.

Things go back to normal.

[Joshua Love]

You are my hero. Thank you. 

[Deena264312739w2y]

Thank you! Now I'll go back to using it.
