EVERY time I open a document? And then the toolbar? Sheesh... I have a strong suspicion that reader's interface is designed by a sadistic idiot, I can vividly imagine him mumbling "now if we add even more useless and annoying crap will they lump it?"

I stick with reader 7, and that's my advice to everyone. It's got plenty of interface rubbish too but not even closely as annoying as 8 and a bit better than 6 (oh that monumental search pain ...eh pane). And it doesn't require drastic measures to disable the bothersome and buggy autoupdate either.

YOU, as an end user, can do it manually by right-clicking on the panel and choosing to hide them.

Leonard, we did not ask you how to hide idiotic sidebar on per-session basis, we ask Adobe to STOP force-feeding this brown pile of sheet into our mouth. In plain English, there must be a way to perma-hide this pest as it was in Acrobat prior to ver 9.

Do you udnerstand or not?

We're fed up with your sidebar, and the more you insist in feeding us your nonsense, the more reason to hack and kill it programmatically. We hhave the abuilioty, don't let this happen, though, do it yourself.

Add an option to hide idiotic sidebar. Don't become Apple#2.
