AI Thread Summary
Recent changes in Adobe Reader configurations have led to issues with missing toolbar functions. Users experiencing this problem should first determine if it affects all files or just specific ones, and check the document's security settings for disabled commenting features. The latest versions of Adobe Reader have a user interface that may remove toolbar buttons if there is insufficient space, which can lead to confusion. To restore missing functions, right-click on the toolbar to access a menu of available features, allowing users to add icons back to the toolbar. Some users have opted for alternatives like Sumatra PDF, which offers more functionality despite a less appealing interface, although it has its own drawbacks, such as an undesirable default background color.

Personally I've give up on Adobe Reader and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra_PDF on Windows.
It dones't look so pretty, but it has more functionality for what I want. The worst feature is the horrible yellow background on the first display (but you want get rid of that in the "advanced options" settings).

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
