I dragged the left panel wider to view enlarged paged thumbnails. Now whenever I open a PDF the left panel is stuck wide. If I drag it back so I see only 1 page on top of another as a single column, close and open another PDF the left hand panel is too wide. How do I get it back to the default size? Just so I'm clear, if open the Page Thumbnails, Bookmarks, Attachments, Layers, Signatures, or Standards left side panel they all are too wide. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

"Restore last view settings reopening documents" was unchecked. Oddly though, I checked it "on" and has fixed the issue.
Thanks!

I have this same issue... And is not resolved with the documents options in Preferences.
Any open PDF ... if I click on Page Thumbnails... the pane opens WIDE.. three columns of thumbnails wide. I can pull it back to one column. Close the document.. Reopen the document and pane width is retained in a nice single column,,, BUT.. if I close the Page Thumbnails pane and reopen the pane it goes back to three columns wide.
Selecting or deselecting "Restore last view settings reopening documents" only affects how it's opened.
Something is managing the default width on all the navigation panes.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance..

Hi Bruce-
Same with may. The problem is back today. I tried checking "Restore last view settings reopening documents" back to "on" and it has fixed the issue again. Seems like for now until Adobe fixes this, the workaround is toggle this setting?

Restart the machine and then check.

Thanks for the reply
Suggestions did not work…
And the cleaner tool says it’s only for standalone versions of Acrobat.
My Acrobat is part of my Creative Cloud subscription.
When I deleted the Preferences folder in C:\Users\brucesmith\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC
It did not reappear after re-booting and launching Acrobat. And has not re-appeared after opening several PDF docs.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks…

Hi Bruce,
It seems that this issue can get resolved by Remote session, I will request you to contact the Adobe Support team so that they can remote in and resolve the issue for you. To contact support Contact Customer Care Link: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Go to your menu. Click "view" --> navigation panels --> reset panels
I was a literature major. Computer sci majors from Adobe have no inclinication to fix the problems that they create and which vex the people. I am disappointed.
