Missing page control tools from toolbar

Question

I had several page control/navigation tools disappear from my toolbar, which I keep on top and open. Partially directed by another post, I opened the "Comment" tool and found the missing tools at the bottom of the display. There is what looks like a horizontal ruler with 5 dots in it, this "moves page control into toolbar." That moved them all into the toolbar as I previously had. There is the same ruler to move them out of the toolbar, I must have accidently hit that at some point.

On another note, I wish they had never changed the UI and other features from Acrobate Pro 8 (might not be correct name). I could keep far more drawing tool icons (oval, text box, line, etc.) within the toolbar. Now I had to create a Custom Tool. This means a click and scroll to find things that used to be right on top! I markup engineering plans in Adobe and use these allot. The group tool is also useless since the change to DC. I don't know what it even does now. You used to be able to select several markup items, circle+line+fill, and group them, then select all with one click to copy and paste elsewhere. Not any more.

Thank you for the quick response and screenshots, @donald_7193.

It appears you are using classic UI. Could you please let us know which tools are missing from the Page navigation control?

Hi @donald_7193,

It sounds like you’ve already figured out the missing page control tools by moving them back into the toolbar. Glad you found that option. Regarding your note about the UI changes and tool handling:

If you prefer the older Acrobat interface, you can disable the new Acrobat experience and revert to the “classic” layout:

Open Acrobat.
Go to Menu (≡) in the upper-left corner.
Select Disable New Acrobat.
Acrobat will relaunch with the previous interface.

In the classic UI, toolbars behave more like older versions, and you may find the drawing/markup tools easier to access without extra clicks.

If you still need to restore more tools in your toolbar:

Right-click (or Ctrl-click) on the toolbar area and choose Customize Quick Tools.
Add the specific markup or navigation tools you use most often.

Let us know how it works, and if you have any questions.
