Display and arrange toolbars
When your work does not involve using the tools in a toolbar, you can close it to tidy up the work area. For example,
if you are not adding review comments to a PDF, there's no need to have the Comment & Markup toolbar open.
When you need easy access to a toolbar that is hidden by default, you can open it. This toolbar appears as a floating
palette, which you can move or dock in the toolbar area.
Note: If several PDFs are open, you can customize the toolbars for each PDF independently. The different customized
states persist as you switch between PDFs.
