How Do I Close All Tools in Adobe Acrobat?

To close all tools in Adobe Acrobat and remember this state for future use, follow these steps:

1. Access Preferences:

   • Windows: Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines).
   • macOS: Click the "Acrobat" menu in the menu bar.
   • Select "Preferences."

2. Navigate to Documents: In the Preferences window, select "Documents" from the categories on the left.

3. Remember All Tools Pane State: Locate the option "Remember last state of All tools pane when opening documents." Select (check) this option.

4. Apply Changes: Click "OK" to save the changes in Preferences.

5. Collapse the All Tools Pane: Open a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat. If the "All tools pane" is open on the right side of the window, collapse it. (Usually, there's a small arrow or button to collapse the pane).

Now, Adobe Acrobat should remember that you prefer the "All tools pane" to be closed the next time you open a PDF.
