Toolbar missing

[Michaela28926121gqwn]

Today, 17/03/23,  have installed Adbode Acrobat PDF reader (Free version). So it must surely be up to date.

There is no toolbar at the top. There is a toolbar for moving between pages, rotating view and zoom on the bottom right margin. This cannot be edited. Previously the toolbar was at the top and couold be edited.

I can find no way to alter the toolbar in terms of adding functions or putting at the top of the document.

I am losing the will, please help as this cannot be right!

Hi @Michaela28926121gqwn 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

It seems like you are on the modern user interface of the application, If yes, you can disable it as described below:

Windows: Click the hamburger menu at the upper left corner and choose Disable new Acrobat.

macOS: Go to View > Disable new Acrobat.

To know more about the new UI please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html

Let us know if you are referring to something else

What is your operating system and version?  It can help try to reproduce the issue, and hopefully come up with a solution.

Did you tried resetting the settings preferences to default:

And out of curiousity, if you are on Microsoft Windows , is Adobe Reader set as the default PDF handler?

Are you certain that when you try to open a PDF document is not being launched automatically on a web browser instead? (i.e. Microsoft Edge)
