New 'tool panel' or 'comment panel' on the top lef corner of the document.

[Barbra321120462ngw]

After some update the number of which I am unware, Acrobat began showing a 'tool panel' or 'comment panel' ON TOP OF THE CONTENT  of the document, something that is really getting in the way of my reading it. So, would someome be so kind as to tell me the name of this panel and how to disable it? Thank you very much.

Yes, this is driving me crazy too!  I use Acrobat to do editing, and now I have this (apparently immovable?) toolbar (the "Quick Tools" toolbar?) actually blocking content I need to be able to see.  I came here today hoping to find instructions for moving this toolbar to the top or somewhere else where it wouldn't block the content I need to work with?  

Please note: I ALSO do NOT want this toolbar to take up a dedicated strip of real estate to the left of the content window.  Content is already squeezed (due to the comments window taking up so much real estate to the right) so that I have to scroll from left and right to actually read content when it's magnified enough to read.  I just want these tools at the top of the screen where they're easy to access and NOT IN THE WAY.  Why on earth did this change?  Please at least give users the ability to customize this so that those of us who need to be actually be able to read the text we're working with can do so.

My version of Acrobat is already the one you mentioned. Nonetheless, the problem persists.

Hi there

Please hold the grey bar as shown in the screenshot below, by pressing the mouse button and move the toolbar around the page to your desired location and releasing the mouse button and check.

Let us know how it goes.
