Remove Share a link, Send file, and Share this file from the toolbar

Report · Feb 02, 2025

Hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to remove these buttons from the toolbar, the "Share a link to this file" "Send file by email" and "Share this file with others". I took a look around the community forums and did a little Google searching and didn't find much so I'm assuming no. I also took a look through the app preferences. The best I could find was collapsing the big blue Share button, but I want to remove it from the toolbar completely.

What's crazy to me is that if you right-click on the toolbar you have the option to remove so many individual elements, the actually useful elements, like page navigation and editing tools, but for some reason you can't remove the sharing tools? Seems like either an oversight or poor design choice.

Now this isn't ruining my life or anything, it's just a personal preference. I really want them gone. I try to keep only the tools I use in the toolbar and having extra stuff I don't need is annoying.

For reference, I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2024.005.20339 (updated today) on Windows 11. I've also attached a screenshot of the buttons I'm looking to remove.

Thanks in advance!
