Remove sections from custom tools in Acrobat

[bernst@fastline.com]

I'm creating some custom tool sets in Acrobat. I've created sections to divide the tools within the set, but now I want to remove one of the sections. I can delete items from the section, but there is no option to delete the section itself. In the attached example I want to remove the section PitStop View, but as you can see the trash can is greyed out. Is this possible or do I have to rebuild my entire tool set just to remove an unneeded section? Thanks for any Tips!

Select the section label.

Hi Bernd,

I tried that, but even with the label selected, the trash can icon is still grayed out for some reason. I did find that I could export the tool set, open the exported .aaui file in Text Edit, remove the lines of text corresponding to the section label then save and reimport the tool set and that did the trick, but can't seem to figure out why I can't just remove it in Acrobat. Thanks for the help!

May be issue of Acrobat on the Mac.

It looks like you have to expand an empty section in order to be able to delete it. At least that's how it works for me with Acrobat DC on macOS Sierra.

Hi Karl,

Sounds like we are on the same setup, but unfortunately, even with the section expanded, it still doesn't allow me to delete it.

Thanks!

Whats your exact version number that  "About Adobe Acrobat Pro DC" displays? Mine is 2018.011.20040. Chances are you are running into a bug, and you may want to report it here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

I'm running 2017, so perhaps it is an old issue that was resolved in the 2018 update? For now I'll just use the workaround I found for editing the .aaui file and when we update see if it resolves itself. Thanks so much for your help!
