Remote Desktop Acrobat Looks Different than on Remote PC - Please help.

This is weird. If I open Adobe Acrobat the leave for home, when I get home, open it from Windows Remote Desktop, it looks the way I left it. When I close it and open it again, it looks different.

I decided to check it back at the office and same thing. It looks the way I saw it different at home, close it, then it reverts.

I double checked by accessing my computer via Remote Desktop at work and yes, it is a different look, like a different version.

See the attached images and see the difference.

Is there a setting in preferences to keep it from switching? Please help.

    When you see the tools bar on the left as in "On Remote PC", select the hamburger menu in the upper left corner (the three horizontal lines) and turn off the new Acrobat look by selecting "Disable New Acrobat". This should then give you the same user interface on both ends.

      How do you do it the otherway around? Making the Remote connection look like the local connection (so they are both using the new look) as I  realy like the new look.

        Assuming that you are running a version of Acrobat that allows to switch between new and old (and back), you would find this option in the "View" menu (it should say "Enable new Acrobat").
