1. Phantom lines in ruler when moving cursor

   Moving my cursor throughout the document leaves phantom lines in the rulers. This seems to have begun with recent app upgrade (current version: 2026.001.21367 64-bit). See 3 photos attached: one with no movement, one with movement down & right, one with movement down/right/up/left. The phantom lines obscure the ruler measurements. This appears to be a bug in the app. Older versions do not present the issue, but I am unable to downgrade.

3. Remove AI, remove upsells, remove feedback and focus on productivity

   This is a business critical app that costs a lot of money (as part of the CC subscription). I want to open PDFs quickly, review them, close them and move on with my work. Instead, every time EVERY SINGLE TIME I open a PDF, you ask for feedback - PLEASE RATE THIS 1-10 HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO RECOMMEND TO A COLLEAGUE?... then another window pops up that completely disables the app (can't even resize the application window) that tells me about all the new eatures you've added and you hide the close button so I have to hunt for it.

   Then when I've closed all Acrobat windows and try to move a PDF in File Explorer, it can't be moved, because, SURPRISE... Acrobat is still running. Open task manager, and there are 12 Acrobat processes running, even though Acrobat is not open anymore. After manually end-tasking these processes, I was finally able to move the PDF.

   JUST STOP. I pay for the app. That should be enough. I don't want AI, I don't want upsells, I don't want popups, I don't want fancy options, I don't want to recommend this to colleagues, I just want to open PDFs and do my job efficiently, and at the moment, this application is an absolute neusance and is debilitating to efficiency.

   Please PLEASE remember that this is a business-critical app. It's not a Barbie doll that requires pushing, makeup and marketing - it just needs to open PDFs and be fast about it. No popups, no AI, no nonsense. Or at least give me the ability to turn off all the nonsense and toggle to "work mode" (currently, to disable all this nonsense, you have to click through 20 preference screens, and even when I've disabled everything, including the AI, you STILL show the me the AI, and you STILL show me popups and upsells.

   PLEASE STOP.

5. I miss the Acrobat that just opened the file and did the work.

   I know competition, software development, and dealing with the public is hard, but I've been waiting for Acrobat's 2025 "give them so many popups that they realize how valuable we are" tactic to go away and it's just not happening. It looks like my windows machine is caught up in a war for which app is going to be opening PDFs, and I'm sad that y'all are going through that, but incessantly pestering of your paying customers just isn't the way. Some days it feels like an early 2000s infected web browser with the 'feature' ai and sharing popups. I miss the Acrobat that just opened the file and did the work. Sometimes, I'm opening these files up in front of people, and it feels like I'm using a free account with ads, even though I'm a paying customer personally and through the companies I work for.

6. Old UI was Better

   Basically the old Adobe Acrobat Reader UI was significantly better and it continues to get worse. I often hop from PC to PC and every time I need to reinstall Reader I have to go and hunt down the settings to change everything back. It's taxing. Obnoxious. Here are the most important key changes that I have to make every time:

   1. The toolbar used to be docked at the top of the screen with tools like select, highlight, page navigation (back, forward, page up, page down), zoom, etc. Now it is a floating pane. I need it docked at the top.

   2. Page navigation tools including TOC and bookmarks used to be docked on the left side of the app. Now it's not there. I need it docked left.

   3. More tools used to be docked on the right side of the app like Export PDF, Edit PDF, Create PDF, etc and I could collapse it so I didn't actually see it. Now it is replaced with some kind of page navigation pane with "Edit, delete, or reply to comments", "Add, delete, or go to a specific bookmark", page thumbnails, next page and previous page and zoom. I need it the other older way.

   4. The old app interface had File, Edit, View, Sign, Window, Help in the top toolbar with Home and Tools in a toolbar just below that with the open files as tabs next to them in that same toolbar. Now there is just a Menu button with a bunch of options and a home button and the open files as tabs next to that menu and home button. I need it the old way.

   There's more too but this where I have to start over each time. It's awful. Why did you one day just decide the way everyone had been using it for years needed to be changed? And now I have to keep changing it back and have been doing so for years and I'm sick of it.

   And while I'm at it, remove any traces of AI from your products. Didn't ask for it. Don't need it. Don't want it.

7. Stop asking to make Acrobat the default PDF program

   I said "No" I don't want Acrobat to be my default app for PDF files. Acrobat DC asks me again every time I start the program. That is intrusive and abusive, there is already a button on the start screen for that. Let me choose not to be asked again. I know how to do it through Acrobat (it's in plain sight already) or through the operating system settings.

8. Provide a simple way to view a PDF document without distractions

   Every time I doubleclick a PDF file to view its content, Acrobat pops up messages asking me to confirm that I have noticed some feature I do not need, provide feedback, use the AI assistant I do not want, review the tools I have no use for. Please provide an option to switch off all these distracting messages, buttons and toolbars and just plainly and simply display the content of the PDF file on the screen with no frills.

9. Cannot see Tool, Edit, Convert, or Sign Menus

   There is something wrong with the side menu. When I first open a document, I can see the All Tools menu on the left, but as soon as I click a tool or click one of the other side bar categories, I can see that it pulls up the tools menu but it's like stuck behind a shadow of the previous side menu and there's nothing I can do. Pressing the X doesn't close the tools, and it is basically stuck like this until I close the document and reopen, even with clicking the other options at the top like Edit, Convert or Sign. I just updated it to the newest version, and it didn't fix anything; This was happening before the update and it's still happening with the newest update.

11. Make Selected Comments More Visible in the Right-Hand Panel

    Please add an option to make the selected comment in the right-hand panel a bright color so you can see which one is selected. I don't know why this has never been a option to be able to choose colors of the highlighted/selected comment.

12. Tabs duplicate in windows taskbar

    Bug. I work with two monitors, and when I have the Adobe Acrobat window on one monitor, it shows as it should, but when I move the window to the other monitor the icons in the Windows taskbar multiplies, which get very annoying after just a few open dokuments. If I try to close a tab, the "duplicate" window in the taskbar is still there but empty. It has been like this for the last two updates of Acrobat I think. Please fix this error!

13. Remove internal ads from paid version of Acrobat

    Can we please have a debloated home screen in Adobe Acrobat?

    Looking at the current layout, half the screen is wasted on stuff I’ll never use:
    • Curated project ads like “Unlock your sales potential with TED” — this isn’t why I opened Acrobat.
    • AI features pushing “summarize your notes” when all I want is to view and edit PDFs.
    • Meeting transcription integration — how is this even related to a PDF tool?

    And the strangest part: if I’m running Acrobat DC (formerly Acrobat Pro, Acrobat X, etc.), that already means I’m a paying customer. Why is the home screen still trying to upsell me with irrelevant promos?

    All of this clutters the interface and makes the actual purpose of Acrobat harder to reach. A Publisher Mode without ads, promos, or unrelated features would make Acrobat far more usable.

14. Administrative Control to Disable the "Disable New Acrobat" Option

    Many organizations standardize on the new Acrobat experience for supportability, training, documentation, and user consistency. While administrators can deploy the new Acrobat interface, end users are still able to select "Disable New Acrobat" from the menu and revert to the classic interface.

    This creates several challenges:
    - Increased support calls due to users working in different interfaces.
    - Inconsistent user experience across the organization.
    - Training documentation and internal procedures no longer match what users see.
    - Additional administrative overhead when troubleshooting issues.

    Requested Enhancement

    Please provide administrators with a policy or enterprise setting that allows them to:
    - Disable or gray out the "Disable New Acrobat" menu option.
    - Force users to remain on the new Acrobat experience.
    - Control this setting through enterprise management tools such as Group Policy, registry settings, Microsoft Intune, or the Adobe Customization Wizard/Admin Console.

    This capability would allow organizations to standardize on a single Acrobat experience, reduce support costs, and ensure a consistent user experience across managed devices.

17. Resize the Page Controls toolbar to minimum when opening Acrobat documents

    When Acrobat Pro opens a document the Page Controls toolbar is displayed. This is fine with me; however, it appears in a preset width. This width includes large blank areas to the right and left of the thumbnails. In order to reclaim those large, blank areas of the screen I need to resize the Page Controls toolbar to its minimum width every time I open or reopen a document. This frees up about 1 to 2 inches of display area. I use a 24-inch monitor in split screen mode, so this unused area is important to have for my workflow.

18. New Acrobat is a continuation of the pussification and retardation of America. Not everyone needs bumpers when they bowl.

    Clearly everyone has stopped having their own thoughts or any thoughts at all and need everything retardified for them. Not everyone needs bumpers when they bowl and the intrusive dumbification for the pablum pukers is ridiculous

20. Voice/Read Aloud for Academic Papers

    I use the read aloud feature for reviewing school articles and love the improvements you've made. However, it would be much better if you added a feature that lets the system skip references/citations (for example, when in parentheses) when reading aloud. Even better if you could choose the type of PDF to let the system know whether to read it in its entirety or skip footnotes, citations, smaller text, descriptors, etc.
