Hiding tool pane on right side

[hfrmobile]

Continuation of How do I remove the right hand pane in Reader DC (LOCKED)

It seems that it is still not possible to ALWAYS hide the tool pane on the right side? I know that it is possible to hide it by clicking  but don't like this bebause:

1. have to to this always when I open a .pdf file

2. it slows down the launch of the Reader

It was possible to permanently hide the toolbar some time ago but now it seems that this feature was removed again? Please look at the thread mentioned above. A LOT OF PEOPLE having this issue!

In the preferences of Acrobat Reader under category "Documents" enable the entry "Remember current state of Tools Pane".

Thanks a lot. Hope that, after the next automatic update the setting remains 😉

It worked exactly for one day!

Now, the setting "Remember current state of Tools Pane" disappeared and now toolbar shows again and slows down opening PDF files dramatically ...

Hello Hfrmobile,

You may refer and try the suggestion from the following Adobe discussion How do I turn off the TOOLS PANE on the right side of the pdf document and keep it off?

Repair Acrobat Reader DC.

Hello dear Adobe staff.

It would be very helpful for sysadmins to be able to hide that tools pane either by GPO or by registry. Whatever suits you best.

Thanks.
