How can I make Adobe Reader to always appear on top

Hi, I can't find an option to set Adobe Acrobat (either Reader or Pro) "View on top", i.e., keep the Acrobat window visible at all times even when opening other windows (for example if I want to view a PDF while doing something else). Does anyone know if this is possible with Acrobat? thanks

    I am having the same problem.

    I remember it asking when it was first installed, and the tech guy clicked yes.

    Now, I want to turn it off, but I don't know how.

    I think it is a windows setting, not in the program itself.

    "Not possible" is apparently wrong because my Adobe Acrobat DC Pro is "always on top" and I am trying to get rid of that. I don't want it to be "always on top." Adobe support has not helped and sent me to a page to update. I am up to date.

    There is no such setting in Acrobat Reader!

    My Adobe Acrobat DC Pro is "always on top" on a PC that is up-to-date on all its updates. Does anyone have a clue how I can prevent it from being "always on top?" Thanks! If we could figure this out, perhaps we could reverse it and get it to be "always on top" for sethm64712281.
