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 all,

I am late and recently touching the new Acrobat reader and also find the same issue.

Thank bros for the commends.

I chek the date and wonder why it 's been so long but the issue still there, no improving?

i myself always hope that, the trend of changing make things better, at least, Acrobat team wants to bring users new exelent experience. is it correct? I just temporarily switch back to old version, but willing to try new verison later ...

Thanks,

It is extremely frustrating I cannot move or hide the quick action toolbar in Acrobat. As a user who pays monthly for Adobe apps, this toolbar is not something I need or want and it is in my way. I don't know why it was assumed everyone using Acrobat would want this to the point where the ability to move or hide it was not engineered. That was some pretty bad planning. Please develop a way to move or hide thus useless obstacle ASAP. Thanks.

Is there a way to do this on PC?  I don't have the "disable" button under "view" and that floating toolbar is really interfering. 

[Robert23393254vnwb]

If this is the same issue I am thinking of, try going to File on the toolbar.

See if there is an option called "Revert" - on my system it is between "Share File" and "Close File" (mine is greyed out because I have already selected it).

Click this. It should revert your Adobe to the version before this update screwed it up.

Hope this works for you.

That's a bad move, I do not like it at all.  We have been working for years with the menu on top and now is taking my productivity time to figure this out.  Please return to the previous version.

This is so stupid - a program designed to let you share and read documents and the default setting hides the start of every document - what idiot signed that one off ?

Where is the 'downvote' option?

I went back to the previous interface because I was trying to create some redlines on and when I was trying to write something on the left edge, the bar + the font menu big square occupied all the space I needed to write.  I needed to make weird zoomes and move the page in different ways.  The software was working against me. Very difficult to work with and it needs correction.

Its now 10 months later and there is no adjustment to this problem!! Come on Adobe, fix this!

[Theresa27827172p33c]

I'm a little late to the game, but IT just updated my Acrobat to the latest version. I can't express how inconvenient the floating toolbar is. And the fact that you moved the list of tools to the left, and searching for a tool is god knows where. And returning to the All Tools view takes 3 or 4 clicks. and adding a tool to that floating toolbar is - how in the world does that work? I am spending more time searching than working in the document. VERY inconvenient.

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.

Still no other solution than to Disable New Acrobat as of today.

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!

If you click view - disable new acrobat it will return back to the original format.

[John30506011wmzj]

Thank you for posting this information, this did exactly what I was looking for. For any other frustrated users in this tread try this step, it is a quick fix.

And Adobe, please hear the feedback. This program already does everything it needs to do. Moving things around doesnt improve the experiance it just frustrates users.

[Harry28909236roqs]

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!

[Benjamin27417044hh8l]

YES!!! DISABLE THE NEW ACROBAT!    R&D failed miserably on this one.  There is nothing to like about the new acrobat.  I disabled it and all is good again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acmontesh]

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.
