Windows taskbar doesn't show (from hide) when Acrobat Reader is open

Hi, I'm using Windows (Windows 11 Home, version 22H2) and have been facing this issue that when I open a PDF document using Acrobat Reader (version 2023.006.20380 64-bit), the Windows taskbar doesn't show anymore. I use the auto hide option for the Windows taskbar and it works with all softwares/apps perfectly fine, but when I use Acrobar Reader, it doesn't rise up to show from hiding - making switching between softwares/apps annoying as I have to minimise the Acrobat Reader screen everytime before I can do it. I checked in Views, it doesn't seem to be on either the Read mode or the Full screen mode. Any direction on this would be helpful - ideally, I'd like to use the auto-hide Windows taskbar with Acrobat Reader as well. Many thanks for your time in advance.

Similar here. The task bar does not appear when Reader is maximized. When it is in a normal window mode, the task bar appears as expected.

 

Reader version: 2023.008.20533

Windows version: Windows Home, 23H2, 22631.3155

Is there any resolution to this issue?  I am expoeriencing the same.  I have found one fix is to restart Windows Explorer from your Task Manager, but it is temporary and reverts every time you close Adobe.  Please help.

Update: So without changing any settings task bar now rises with PDF maximized. Dragged document to different monitors no problem.  Only thing I did different was to connect to a different docking station where a drive needed to be downloaded.

Hi Lóránd,

 

Thank you for reaching out. 

 

Could you please confirm if this happens every time you launch the application or when you open a PDF? Would you mind sharing the screen recording showing this behavior?

Please share the Acrobat and OS versions used on the machine.  We will try to replicate the behavior.

 

You may try toggling the view mode under Menu > View. See if that changes anything.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I fixed it by disabling the new Acrobat experience. So far - so good. Will update if it comes back.
