How can i make reading mode as default viewing mode in adobe acrobat dc? I know about the shortcut ctrl+h but i want to open pdf files into reading mode by default. because it is way faster! I tried checking the settings in my pdf reader but i did not find anything! is there an option like that in settings or a workaround that i can try?

I think it's safe to say that you can't just go through the interface. But I found a solution here:

Remove or prevent sidebar from opening by default on Adobe Reader

Go to the install directory, i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU Create a new subfolder (I used Disabled). Move three files from the ENU folder into the new Disabled folder: >AppCenter_R.aapp, Home.aapp and Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane!

In my case the installation directory was : "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\AcrobatRdrApp\ENU"

I don't really know what I do so do it with caution, but it worked well for me.
