Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and tap anywhere in the center of the screen to bring up the hidden user interface controls.
Look for the 'View' or 'Page Display' settings icon, typically represented by a gear or a page layout icon on the top or bottom toolbar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I hide the page number in my version of Adobe Acrobat Reader?
In certain versions of the mobile and tablet app, Adobe has integrated the page number indicator directly into the core reading interface. If you don't see a toggle in the View settings or Preferences, it cannot be disabled in that specific build.
Does the tablet operating system affect page number settings in Adobe Acrobat?
Yes, the Android and iPadOS versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader have slightly different user interfaces and feature sets. Interface customization options available on an iPad might not be present on an Android tablet, and vice versa.
Can I view PDFs in full-screen mode on my tablet to hide the interface?
Yes, tapping the center of the screen while reading a PDF in most reader apps, including Adobe Acrobat Reader, will hide the top and bottom toolbars. However, floating elements like page indicators may sometimes remain visible depending on the app's design.
