Opening PDFs without the Side Tabs showing

Hi. I don't know what else to call it other than side tabs. What I am referring to is the part to the right of the page pictured below which shows the options such as Export PDF, Edit PDF, Create PDF, etc. This is useless to me and I am tired of having to click the arrow to minimize it every single time I open a PDF. What's worse is I have to hit another arrow a second time to fully remove the box. Is there a way to make it where I never have to see this unless I decide to open it?

Hi Primo

 

Hope you are doing well. As described you want to close the side tab unless you want them to open.

 

Please click on the small arrows to close the right tab as you do and then go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Documents > Select 'Restore last view settings when reopening documents' > Click OK and reboot the application.

 

Regards

Amal
