  1. I feel like my hands are tied behind my back. I can't navigate the new design of the tool bar down the side. Let me have my tool bar back at the top

  3. I have had Adobe Acrobat Pro for years and have just changed to Adobe Acrobat Pro within Creative Cloud.

    I am thoroughly frustrated with the screen layout.

    There is a toolbar OVER the top of the document area. There is a huge blank space at the top of the page that COULD be used to show menu items such as Search - but it is just a big blank. Ditto the right hand side of the screen.

    Overall, far too much screen space has been wasted. Menus "hidden" by having to select various tabs. This has NOT been designed with…

  4. The new larger sidebars make it so that when activated, you have to zoom out the document in order to view the fully width of page. If page view is set to automatic, it should automatically reduce the size of the page to accommodate the side bars.

  5. Pressing Cmd+Tilde (~) in Acrobat used to cycle between all active windows. A recent update changed that behaviour and it now stops after one window change. there is no easy way to flick back and forth between documents. This is different to how it works in other CC apps, eg, InDesign and Illustrator, so I can only assume this is a bug. I use Cmd+Tilde constantly. Please fix! Thanks!

  7. Not being able to move the side bar to the top is ridiculous. Just a terrible layout that is not productive. Good software is written to be highly customizable, not locking the user into what you think is best.

  9. The display mode buttons are awkward and unclear.
    The icons do not permit to foresee the visualisation behavior.
    The old buttons prior to this innovation were much more convenient.
    Adobe should offer the option of reverting back to the old display.

  12. The new "+ Create" button on the right side of the tabs is totally misplaced. It opens a popup that gets in the way when you want to move the window, if you have a lot of tabs open, which I usually do. The more logical place for it would definitely be in the toolbar below. It's just annoying and makes me want to install another reader.

  13. The rubbish message bar that appears under the already wasteful 2 menu bars when there is a limitation or error CAN NOT BE CLOSED.

    This specific error bar can't be hidden by clicking the red cross, and I only have two options in the drop menu - both to enable javascript - that I DO NOT WANT.

    Per all my other comments adobe's hideous reader interface:
    a) LET ME GET RID OF THE MESSAGE, javascript on or off.
    b) STOP wasting screen space
    c) LE ME GET RID OF ALL THE CLUTTER YOU ADD TO THE PAGE. IT DOES NOT…

  14. Absolutely hated the new Acrobat experience. Thankfully just noticed a button to disable it. Interface was awful.. things moved around confusingly and found myself spending extra time in every document in order to find things. Seems like maybe you were trying to maximize screen space for documents by collapsing menus and buttons, but this seemed completely unnecessary to me. It was buggy.. it consistently froze whenever I tried to 'Fill & Sign' and selected my signature for use.

  17. The new "modern" interface just doesn't work for people like myself who use a lot of plugins and don't need Acrobat for commenting or e-signing. I work in a print shop and I'm constantly reviewing and editing customer files. I need to be able to easily see the page counts, scroll through documents, check page box sizes, etc... All of these changes have made that really difficult and it slows down our workflow drastically. I get wanting to clean things up and I remember that DC was a big shift from older versions like XI that could seem very cluttered.…

  18. The line spacing between bookmarks in the bookmarks panel is now a full line, meaning the content of this panel is 50% wasted space. Plus they are all indented, which is more wasted space especially because many now spill over onto a second line. On my 1440-pixel tall display, I can see 30 items. But if I open the same document in Firefox, the bookmark panel shows 42 items. So it's much easier to find what I am looking for in a long document.

    Please don't design everything for touch. I don't need giant touch targets. I want to see…

  19. Remove the 10 million billion trillion popups when initially running after downloading/signing up for a trial. Also, if you can't get the program to run at least as well as Microsoft word for editing a document... no one will.

  20. What in the world were you thinking? Let's see... How hard can we make it to use our once-productivity-enhancing product? This is simply change for evil's sake. I'm going to stop using AAP altogether. What a disaster.
