How do you do this? It looks like a check box has been removed that used to do this. These panes on the left and the right just take up precious desktop space, and is a pane* to close everytime I open a document.

I am having the same issue with the current version of Acrobat. I was able to set the tools pane to automatically collapse on open. But, that intrusive Bookmarks pane opens every time I open a document. I don't show an ability to hide the Bookmarks pane by default after Google searching and combing through the settings in Preferences. Surely there is a way to keep the pane from opening by default.

I mostly open 1-3 page drawings and that Bookmarks pane is the worst! It takes up so much space. Abode - surely there is a way to prevent it from opening automatically?

Hi Aarons,

Apologies for the delay in response, I hope you would be able to fix it by now.

If the problem still persists,

To hide the bookmarks, you may refer to a similar discussion on the Adobe forums here - Default Hide Navigation Pane On Left Side Acrobat Reader DC

To hide the tools pane, you may refer to the Adobe help article here - Permanently close the Tools pane in Acrobat Reader DC

Let us know if you need more help.

Hi, do you have the answer to solve this? I dont have the option "Remember the current state of the tools pane" neither and cannot solve the problem. If you have any additional info, please share. Thank you.
