How to change the font size in the document tabs?

Hello,

My office works with a file naming convention where the filename starts with a date.  As such, I am often working with files that have similar first 10 or so characters with the differentiating part of the name coming later, usually at the end ( _r for example for a reduced size PDF).  Currently the default display for the tabs at the top of the application for multiple files only shows the first 14 characters of the filename.  Can I change the font size displayed in the tabs so that I will be able to see the entire or more of the filename?

I've noticed the tabs do not change in size based on the number of them (like you may be used to in your internet browser), and thus always show only the 14 characters.  Please let me know if any of you have found a way to change this display.

I am running Acrobat Pro DC on Windows 10.

Thank you in advance

In case you haven't yet found a solution for this...

There are several places where you can control the fonts and size of the interface in Windows programs. Try any of these and see if they improve your interface.

  1. In Acrobat's Preferences (Edit / Preferences / Page Display), adjust the resolution. Higher resolution number = more pixels per inch = smaller looking text. (You may have to restart Acrobat to see this change take affect.)
  2. In Windows 10, go to Settings / Display / Scale and Layout.
    1. Adjust the size of Text, Apps, and other items.
