I’ve never once clicked on any of the File Tools I never intend to they just east up my screen space, but I have no way to hide them. Some of the tools display you matter what, even if you don’t want them to. And look! There’s the Hand Tool! I wish there was a better way to control and organize the tools in the toolbar. That’s where all the tools reside that won’t fit on the toolbar.

If your monitor is big enough, it can show all the tools, but I have a 27″ monitor and I still can’t display all the tools! Have you ever wondered what the little ellipses are on the right hand side of the toolbar? After a bit more digging, I discovered that the issue is that the set of controls that contain the Hand Tool gets pushed to the right whenever you display any of the other major toolsets. But all too often, the Hand Tool is not in the toolbar when I expect it to be. Here is the default toolbar in Acrobat DC.

The Hand tool is ubiquitous, and a typical user might think it wise to make is easy to find and easy to use.īut no longer! That Hand tool is sometimes visible in Acrobat DC, but more often than not, it disappears. So there was no confusion as to its behavior! These tools were also available in the menu as tools you could search for and locate independently of their panels.

It was great! Also, notice how the selection tool icon previously included a little text cursor icon. And when you wanted to select something be it text or an object, you simply clicked on the icon that looked like that it offered function.
