Dear all,

the latest version of Acrobat Reader in its default settings does not display “large” images in PDFs any more (grey boxes instead). THX, Ah-doo-bee! :angry:

To change:

Edit ► Preferences ► Category: Page Display

BTW, there is no setting to permanently switch off the annoying “Tools Pane” on the right-hand side. Either memorize the keyboard-shortcut

 ⇑ F4

to toggle it off/on or – if you have admin’s access rights and courageousness – in the the XML-file

\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\LOC\Viewer.aapp

delete the red lines

<Application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/acrobat/app/2014"
  title="Viewer" id="Viewer" majorVersion="1" requiresDoc="true" minorVersion="0">
  <Layouts>
    <Layout name="Default">
      <RHP>
        <Component name="AppShortcutListView" type="Custom"/>
      </RHP>
    </Layout>
  </Layouts>

</Application>

where LOC is your locale (ENU=English-US, DEU=German, FRA=French, ESP=Spanish, DAN=Danish, RUS=Russian, etc.).
Note that after you changed this file
