How to stop Acrobat Pro opening annoying side-menus?

Report · Dec 19, 2024

How can I stop Acrobat Pro on PC (Continuous release) from opening annoying side-menus. Every time I open a document it opens the "Bookmarks" and "All Tools" menus, covering half my document!

I want it to remember setting from last session (with the side menus closed)?

I tried this - and it doesn't workl!

The Attachments panel probably opens due to a setting in the file itself. Go to Menu - Properties - Initial View and make sure that "Page only" is selected under "Navigation Tab".

The state of the Tools panel should be remembered by the application if you ticked the option mentioned in that link, and then minimized it and closed the application properly (via Menu - Exit Application).
