I've noticed that since the Adobe Acrobat Reader v2023.001.20064 upgrade, the 'Remember current state of tools pane' not working. Each time I close the tools pane, and then select the 'Remember current state of tools pane' option, and close Adobe, then next time I open that or any other PDF the Tools pane shows up. The option seems to be broken, and not persisting. Has anyone else found that to be the case, and is there a working solution to the problem?

Yes, I am experiencing the same, very annoying, behavior. I have checked 'remember current state of tools pane' and closed the tools pane--but it reopens everytime I open a pdf. The option is still checked so it seems to not be working. Just close the stupid tools pane!

This is certainly a bug in the "New Acrobat" but I'm guessing that Adobe hasn't admitted it yet? I found a tip about reverting to the old Reader on Reddit: _pdf_in_acrobat_reader_without_tools_pane_open/

I'm skeptical, because the new version is ignoring the user's choice to "Remember current state of tools pane" and the tools pane uses up a LOT of space until it is closed/minimized. Yes, I'll be happy to file a feature request, but I still contend that it is actually a bug, because we shouldn't hav to disable the New View in order for the software to respect our "Remember current state of tools pane" choice.

I am also experiencing the same thing. I use Windows 11 and have selected the "Remember the current state of Tools pane" but it keeps coming up every time I open a new document, it wasn't like this with the previous version. My current version is 2023.003.20244 and it's just frustrating to constantly close the tools pane all the time. I don't need it! Please let us know if Adobe has made changes to this.

We are actively working on all the currently unavailable features, such as customizing the All Tools pane and retaining its current state from the Preferences. And we will address them with the highest priority.

I hope Adobe gets familiar with letting the users decide what makes them more productive. This tools pane showing is is horribly unproductive as users have to close it 99% of the time. It's just absolutely awful and backwards. "Familiarize yourself with being less productive", thanks a lot.

I would respectfully like to note to my friends at Adobe that decreasing accessibility is never an improvement. As someone who cannot use the computer quite like most people, this matters. If nothing else, please at least allow a key combination to disable the tools view that makes reading quite difficult. Using the mouse is not a pleasant activity for myself. Thank you for listening.

You download the original first release msi, then create a new folder and apply the patch to the msi, then create a transform file for the customized settings. Then push the new patched msi with the transform file using pdq inventory.

You can also use pdq inventory to clean up old versions of adobe reader that may cause issues. You can use the remote command tool and use the switches to silently remove only reader and leave acrobat alone. I have used this to clean up the mess that is moving from XI to DC. Ugh. Sometimes GPO fails due to some DLLs not being flagged for update or install. It is when I review the event log that i see these on the workstation. You then have to use the cleaner tool.
