Removing some unnecessary tools from Tools Pane

[AdAlf]

Hi!

Adobe (Acrobat) Reader DC. In Tools Pane appear many tools unusable for users, I mean – when they try to use these (some of) they will be redirected to … Anyway, is there possible (using registry or script etc.) to remove some tools from Tools Pane, firstly these which users can’t use? Yes, I’m aware there is no such option for Reader in customization wizard, but perhaps is some other options to accomplish this. Very confusing for users to have options they can’t use anyway. Also, I’m not sure removing Tools Pane in full is good ideas as some of tools could be handy (which is directly usable in Reader and don’t need any … purchase or setup, you know.).

More thanks, Alar.

PS! Sorry if this question is answered somewhere here, couldn’t find. Please point.

You could probably get a better answer by finishing the sentence that ends in "redirected to...". I'm guessing you're referring to service-based tools. If so, disable services.

Hi and thanks!

Well, yes, in test environment – “bAcroSuppressUpsell” does the job exactly as wanted. Haven’t tried deploy it, but probably no problems.

More thanks, Alar.
