Why I can't uncheck this box ?
It still comes back to "check" again when opening a new file.

Same issue occuring even in the old UI for me. Tested on Reader 24.002.20895 Windows 11. and Acorbat Pro on Windows 10.


Me, too. I'm on a Mac OSMonterey 12.7.5. Switching to old UI did not allow me to disable comment pane from opening.

Hi Kennyb

 

We are sorry for the trouble. As described, you want to disable to comment pane from opening every time you open PDF.

 

Please click on the small arrow on the right hand comment pane once and then go to Edit (Windows), Acrobat DC (Mac) > preferences > Documents > Select 'Restore last view settings when reopening documents' > Click OK and reboot the application and check.
