new adobe acrobar

[cecebar]

All I simply want to do is HIDE a toolbar on the left - now that I've chosen to edit the text of a PDF, this toolbar is persistnet and NO MATTER if I quit Acrobat, reopen or create a new PDF this toolbar is there to stay. A user-interface time suck.

I have tried the preferences route (let's see you could spend a week going through these options). Checking or unchecking "Restore last view settings..." makes absolutely no difference.

The show/hide function under "View" doesn't work like other adobe products where it displays or not a tool or icon - it simply pops up a window - as if it isn't already obvious that you click on the right side panel to "show/hide" a function.

What isn't obvious is the functionality of the left toolbar box  - NO obvious way to show/hide it from your page view.

This level of control should be entirely intuitive. Again, a waste of time.

View - Disable New Acrobat

And for those on Windows, you can disable the new interface:

• File (now a collapsed hamburger menu) / Disable New Acrobat.

Disable the new Acrobat interface.

Tell the Acrobat engineers and marketing department to ditch this new "Modern" Acrobat interface. It doesn't work.
