  1. Why do software developers insist on changing, moving, hiding, reconfiguring, the user interface for their software???? THIS ADDS ZERO IMPROVEMENT! Different isn't better; BETTER is better. Why do you think I would be so impressed by this new toolbar that I can move anywhere over the document? You know where I want to move it? I want to move it to the TOOLBAR area. Guess where I cannot move this new floating toolbar - THE TOOLBAR AREA. Just stupid.

  2. Currently to set a link within a PDF (for example, a link from a table of contents listing to the target page for that listing) you have to open Edit, open Link, highlight the listing on the contents page and set the link action to "go to page view" and then scroll to the target page to set the link. Why in the world can't Adobe simply have a place in that window to add the target page number? The current method is archaic.

  3. Dear Acrobat,
    Please listen to customers and stop alienating them. People become dependent on your product through work, then you switch up things and worsen the lives of untold numbers of people. You deserve to lose income in a large scale as a result, faster instead of slower. Stop harming customers. Start making it easer to give you feedback. Start paying attention to it. By making things confusing and harder, your product deserves to lose in the market. But you are leveraging your existing market position to hurt people instead.

  4. Moving between document tabs: why are my page up/down, and zoom in/out features at the very bottom corner... the further possible place from where my cursor will be?

  5. When an application-specific Acrobat dialogue pops up, it isn't forced to the front and disables the application interaction until dealt with. This is somewhat normal but doesn't work in practice.

    Took me a while to figure out, but I'll skip the who and why and let others decide how to deal with this disability. Feel free to suggest nut-behind-the-wheel solutions.

    I launch Acrobat reader, either doc or app, and use the keyboard to immediately open the search tool to find a word. That word is found, but the word is inside a link so it generates a dialogue asking if…

  6. The guided tour for the presentation of newly introduced features and layout updates is never ending! It continues to pop up after each run. It's frustrating.

  7. Please remove the new "Create" button in the tabs area. This is the most annoying thing I have ever seen. I keep accidentally clicking on it when I want to close a tab or move the window, and then Acrobat is inoperable for up to 1 minute and a stupid spinner rotates in the middle of the window, only to display a new button "Select files". This contradicts 100% the rest of the user interface of the tool.
    If you don't remove this, then please make the button optional so that it can be hidden effortlessly. I will never use…

  8. Hate the new layout and design, everything is now back to front and upside down in terms of trying to find things.

    Why could you not keep the same design and just upgrade the features.

    As the old saying goes don't fix what is not broken..........

    Hate the new design and to say it is meant to be user friendly is a joke.

  9. The quick action floating toolbar cannot be moved or docked, which means it is constantly hovering over the document, covering the upper left corner of the document. There should be an option to move or dock this toolbar so that users can view their documents unobstructed.

  10. Wie kann man eine Standard-Ansicht im Acrobat vordefinieren, mit der er jeden PDF-File immer gleich öffnet?

    So möchte ich z. B., dass er beim Öffnen immer genaue eine volle Seite darstellt, die bei mir leider nicht dauerhaft einstellen kann oder ich weiß es einfach nicht, wie man das macht und finde dazu auch keine Hilfe.

    Als Beispiel dafür lege ich Ihnen einen Screenshot bei, bei dem leider nicht die volle Seite dargestellt wird. Auch sollte beim Öffnen die linke "Alle Tools"-Leiste nicht automatisch geöffnet werden.

  11. If it ain't broke why "fix" it? The latest Adobe Acrobat is horrendous re: changes to the interface and functionality. Basic things like zoom function, where to access tools, or go to the next page have changed - why?! You're making people who have used Acrobat for years CHANGE the way they work, breaking workflow. It's slow to load and do most actions and hard to find things. I HATE it when Adobe moves things around like this. Please stop making arbitrary changes that break workflow for regular users.

  12. It would be nice if the tool bar in new adobe could be made horizontal or docked to the window above such that it does not cover the document when in a splitscreen view. It may be able to be done but I have not had success in the short time I have tried. Also, being able to have a pen to write/draw on a pdf would be nice, I feel I remember being able to do this in the past but have not been able to in a while.

  15. One moment, I was using Acrobat to review and edit page proofs for a medical journal I handle and the next moment all my customization was gone! No toolbars, nothing I need to do my job. All gone! Additionally, the new layout is HUGE and unwieldy. I want to be able to sort through several PDFs to compare pages and revisions. Now, I have one page taking up the middle of my screen and this giant blank workspace all around it. Where did everything go? Why did Adobe completely change everything after years of a familiar, but ever updating application?…

  17. Wenn ich geschäftliche mehrer Seiten öffnen muss, um diese miteinander vergleichen zu können, werden mir in der Titelleiste nicht alle Dateien angezeigt. In dem neuen Design sogar noch wenigere als in der alten. Im neuen Design sind jetzt rechts die Pfeile und "Erstellen", sowie drei Punkte noch hinzugekommen. Ich sehe gerade mal 3 Dateien von 6 und muss ständig mit der Maus auf den Pfeilen von Dokument zu Dokument springen, damit ich alle Dokumente miteineinander vergleichen kann. Das ist absolut unterirdisch und mühsam. Nicht Benutzerfreundlich!

  19. I have recently received the latest update, and now when I use the up and down keys on my keyboard it moves the cursor through the text. It used to be that this would change the page. What is truly annoying is that if I am on page 10, but the curser is on page 1, when I press the down key, instead of going to page 11, it goes to page 1, because this is where my curser is. I have used the up and down keys for many years, and I can not seem to break the habit.…

  20. From initial versions of Adobe Reader, its search box behaves (in Windows) a different way than any other dialog box.
    When I try to select part of the searched text to change it, it lets me select it, and only when I release the mouse button, it selects everything.
    It is not possible to accustom it, because the whole Windows environment behaves different way.
    So it makes me angry every day for decades!
    I suppose there is not any settings or workaround for this problem, so this behavior should be changed.
    BTW, I do not understand why this was made…
