How to Display Number of Pages in Open PDF Document? (Used to be in Status Bar)

Hi, in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro the "number of pages" in the open document was displayed in the "status bar" at bottom left of window.

In AAProDC this is MIA.  Now the fastest way to get this information appears to be to click the arrow on the left of the window to open the pages pane.  Not as fast as the info being displayed alongside the page dimension information.

See screenshot below.

I've looked in the options/preferences to see if one can change what is shown in the "status bar" - but I don't see this possibility.  Can Is this possible?

This functionality appears to have also disappeared in Acrobat Reader

Yes and this feature takes up valuable space in the Toolbar - which is now at a premium given the enlarged size of the icons (to try and make a single UI design work for both touch and mouse - sigh). 

The old functionality of displaying current and total number of pages in status bar was better - and its odd since the size of the document pages *is* still displayed there - they just removed the current page / total number of pages - sigh.  #GoingBackwards

Any other solutions?

Please share your thoughts on the Acrobat User Voice page: 

Here are a couple of requests that are along similar lines:

Full Tools, Menu customisation

Different approach to toolbar layout

Time saving toolbars

The new Adobe is horrible.  Can't see page numbers.  Makes it useless.  Bad 'upgrade'.

 

No I will not be buying or using Adobe anymore.

Agreed - the new version IS TERRIBLE.
I want to know which page number I am on
I want to know how many page numbers there are.
Imagine for a moment is a book, magazine, newspaper, anything else
had NO PAGE NUMBERS - rediculous.

Ridiculous "upgrade".  This is almost a useless prodcut with these changes.

Agreed.  From an upstream prepress perspective, this is horrible.   Adobe needs to fix this asap!

See my response below. Just turning on All Display Tools should reset it so it shows.

I chose to disable the new experience. The new experience was awful, so bulky, hard to naviagate and made no sense. Why would you get rid of the number of pages etc? Hopefully if enough people ditch the 'new and improved' it will send a message that this update is terrible and whoever approved it should reconsider.

Thank goodness someone mentioned that this can be disabled! The 'New Experience' is a horrendous step backwards! Here is how to turn it off and return to normal:

Turning off Adobe Acrobat New Experience (New Look)
  1. Windows: Click the hamburger menu ( the three horizontal lines) at the upper left corner and choose to Disable new Acrobat.
  2. macOS: Go to View > Disable new Acrobat.

I just disabled it.  Thank you all.  Adobe sent a question as to why I was disabling, and I told them it was about those page numbers.  I was wondering why on one computer I was seeing the new version and on another I was seeing the old version.  When my IT guy set these up we were struggling with subscription for the Adobe account in general.

Ahhhh.
Too bad they think the new version is actually good.
Now, if they had split screens so then I can view several parts at the same time.
This is especially useful when you're reading something technical and gotta flip

back and forth.  Not everything is a novel.

When I disable it, I must restart AR. However, when the POS restarts, it is back to the "new" design.

Hi @shawnmstar,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

If you using the Modern Viewer, the page numbers should be visible by default on the bottom right-hand panel of the screen (screenshot attached below).

 

Please let me know if this is not what you see, and we can investigate further.
