I would like to use the Hand Tool as default for all documents in Adobe Reader on Windows.

Currently it opens with the Select Tool. Does anyone know how to change this?

9.3.1 keeps defaulting to the 'select' tool for me, no matter what I do. It's driving me nuts. I would downgrade if I could just for this purpose, but don't have the rights on my work computer :( – user69559 Feb 4 '11 at 20:54

If you select the Hand Tool from menu (Tools / Select and Zoom), Adobe Reader should keep this setting when you open other documents later (tested with Adobe Reader 9).

Thanks, I was using Adobe Reader 8. Upgraded. – Naseer May 21 '09 at 11:04

I confirm that this still works in Adobe Reader 10. – Endy Tjahjono Dec 5 '11 at 9:36

There is no Tools menu on my version, nor is there any Hand tool under Zoom.

I found the Hand with a right click on the page.

Unfortunately, from the next right-click, I also accidentally hid the toolbars and now I can't find any way of getting them back.
