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.

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…

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…

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:
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…

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.

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…

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!

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.

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…

Please remove the "Try PDF Spaces" option from the toolbar, super annoying and hides the "file" dropdown menus.

Overall Assessment of Acrobat Pro 2026
I posted a critique earlier of Acrobat’s new UI, particularly the clumsy way users have to move in and out of the AI Assistant and navigate between different workspaces. After spending more time with Acrobat 2026, however, I want to walk back some of those criticisms. I’m beginning to view this release a little differently.
Perhaps Adobe might have been better served by releasing Acrobat 2026 as a beta. I’m sure the development team is continuing to refine the program, and hopefully we’ll see improvements soon. That said, Acrobat 2026 includes some remarkable advances.
One improvement addresses something I’ve been…

Home Screen Disaster in New Acrobat
Once again, the total morons on the Acrobat Development Team decided to again make our lives difficult. What idiot created that awful Home Screen when the user launches the new Acrobat? And the stupid moron didn't even provide a preference setting to permit the end user to choose whether we want to see it or not. When is Adobe going to start listening to users? Can you really afford these *****-ups as web apps are increasing and rivaling many of your software applications? Remember Quark? Are you going to continue down a path and follow that company to extinction because…
