1. Major dissapointment

   I ABSOLUTELY do not like the new version of Acrobat Pro!!!!!!!!!! It is not user friendly at all!!!!!! Is there anyway to switch back to the old version? I use this program for my business on almost a daily basis. What used to take 5 minutes now takes me an hour just to find what used to be at my finger tips. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!!

2. Need setting to Always Show Cover Page in Two Page View

   I need every file to open in two-page view and show the cover page.

   Currently, settings exist to make opening in two-page view the default, but no setting exists to always show the cover page in two-page view, or to make this the default open setting. Every time I open a file I have to go to View>Page Display>Show Cover Page in Two Page View.

   Please add this setting to the Preferences>Page Display>Default Layout and Zoom section.

3. Users should have the option to keep the navigation panes (with bookmarks and page thumbnails) on the left

   The new version of Acrobat moves tools to the left and navigation tools to the right without giving an option for users to customize the location. Having page navigation on the right is unergonomic because the natural reading order is left to right, and people click bookmark titles and page numbers before reading the page content. In books, the table of contents comes before the main content of the book, and you flip rightwards after choosing a chapter to read.

   With navigation on the left, the tools would be on the right-hand side in the new version. This makes intuitive sense as most people will pick up actual tools (like hammers, screwdrivers) with their right hand.

   All other Adobe software gives users several UI options. For example, Adobe Photoshop has several layout configurations for users (Essentials, Graphic and Web, Photography, Painting, etc.). There is no reason Acrobat cannot give users similar flexibility, especially when it comes to a configuration (i.e. bookmarks, pages on the left) that has been consistent for over a decade across all major PDF readers.

4. annotations

   In the "new acrobat" interface, it is now very tedious to add annotations. It is two more clicks than in the old Acrobat (multiply that with thousands of annotations and you see the problem).

   Please add the following functionality (available in "old acrobat"):

   • When you have selected some text, and start typing, it will add the "replace text" annotation.
   • When you place the text marker in the text, and start typing, it will add the "insert text" annotation.

   Also:
   * When you select some text, you get a little contextual toolbar pop-up. Please add a button for the "replace text" annotation to this toolbar.

   If possible, you could also add back the horizontal toolbar along the top instead of the floating one. It had much more buttons available right away when adding annotations without so much extra pointless clicking.

   ---

   Due to these inefficiencies we have to keep explaining to hundreds of our users how to revert to the old Acrobat. :/

   It would be useful to see the zoom % without having to click on the 'Zoom In' or 'Zoom Out' buttons on the side panel. Also, when you click on the buttons, the zoom % changes and you cannot see what it was previously set to. I would like to see a 'Zoom %' button showing the current %.

6. Restrict ‘Save as pdf’ option for Encrypted/Do not forward emails

   Description : We would like to restrict the ‘save as pdf’ option for Encrypted/Do not forward emails only.
   Why the feature is needed : Currently we are able to use the ‘save as pdf’ option for Encrypted/Do not forward outlook emails - hence able to save and share the such emails to other users (who are not supposed to receive the info). Hence, we would need this restriction to eliminate the security gap.

7. Acrobat UI

   At every major update, the Acrobat Pro UI is getting more and more confusing. None of the standard OS behaviors are respected. I tried to modify the toolbar on Mac (version 2023.0001), impossible to move an icon anywhere.

8. Nesting Bookmarks Bug

   There seems to be a problem with creating new bookmarks. I'm nesting the bookmarks as I create them in order to keep myself organized, considering this PDF is almost 800 pages long. I'm finding that if I nest my most-recently-created bookmark under another one, all future bookmarks I create are also nested under the same bookmark.

   However, once I wish to move one of these newly-created bookmarks to the root level, that is to un-nest them, the only way I can do so is to move them to the top of the list. Even if I try to un-nest them via the same movement method I see in YouTube video ID tCqXOaNC_Zg , the bookmark being dragged is still nested anytime I drag it to the bottom of the list, even if the line indicating where I'm moving the bookmark to is longer, indicating it will be at the root level. This erroneous behavior persists when dragging a bookmark to any other location other than the very top of the list.

   I believe this is a UI bug because the functionality works, just as long as it's specifically at the top of the list and nowhere else.

10. Put the screen menu options back where they were and add the new features ther.

    I am frustrated by the view or placement changes of the menu. It seems the menu items on the top left (save, print, tools, etc.) are now on the right and the items on the right (editing menu) are now on the left side. Automatically I go to the left to get something and find it has been moved and have to look on the right, I am searching back and forth all day, very frustrating. I like the new editing features, but just leave the menus where they were and where we are used to it being. Your new tools should help us move quicker not have us searching back and forth for what you need. Please put the screen options back where they were and just add the new items in the respective area. Thanks for your consideration. Lisa

11. Upgrade System Interface/Page Numbering Too Complicated and Most Other Functions as well

    Return to the previous version's interface. Reduce the additional steps added in new version and eliminate the over-complification of simple procedures. I just spent an hour trying to number my pages. I found the functions only after looking up on Google and searching for 20 minutes. But the windows themselves were absolutely NOT intuitive. I had to contact an agent. The first agent I got disconnected from. Bates numbering was made to appear as the only option, but the agent showed me how to find the plain numbers under header and footer on the edit toolbar. But via the previous interface, I did not want to even use the new one, as it requires 5-8 additional steps to Every action now. The agent showed me how to get back to old version. Carpal tunnel is still an issue with majority of workers! How does adding clicks and steps to simply numbering pages increase productivity?! I spent a total of an HOUR on page numbering, for a document that had only 8 pages!!!
    It is understood that the young people are running out of improvements to make, they lack the skills or clout to make new software, so they add unnecessarily to well loved programs and thereby complicate simple functions, create interfaces that are NOT intuitive at all, and generally cause mass depressions in office workers across the globe. I understand this is all done to generate more income. And, that is not acceptable.

12. Acrobat Mobile: Add config controls to disable file location options and to fully remove message to grant permission to Allow File Access.

    When using a shared mobile device, we need to limit the visibility of previously accessed files by other users. This could be accomplished by removing access to the "On this device" option within Acrobat mobile.

    Secondly if we could remove the system from requesting permission to the "All file access" so that permission couldn't be granted by the user afterward.

    To summarize, here are the following requests for configuration options:

    1. Remove the "allow access to your files to view, modify, and save PDFs" See attached image 1Featurerequest

    2. The ability to hide "On this Device" as a file location selection. See attached image 2FeatureRequest

    3. Hide "PDF from emails Gmail" see attached image 3FeatureRequest

    Everytime my computer goes to sleep, Acrobat DC "hangs up" and I'm forced to close the application and reopen files.

15. fill in form field button

    -The new update has the "Fill in Form Field" button in a prominent place on the toolbar and it is the only text looking button in the default toolbar. Everyone in my design office mistakenly thought it was the text box tool and was extremely frustrated trying to redline documents. As designers, we do not use this software primarily for forms or even text documents, but for reviewing and commenting on drawings. Though I customized my toolbar and added what I need, it is not possible to remove the Fill in Form button from the tool bar, or even to move it to a less prominent position. I am tech savvy and inquisitive, so I figured out the problem and how to get the buttons I need easily, but you cannot expect everyone to hover over the button, learn what it is used for and then figure out how to customize the toolbar. The DEFAULT toolbar should include some kind of regular text or comment button automatically, so that people over the age of 50 have even a chance of figuring it out on their own. Likewise, we users should be given the agency to remove unwanted tools, such as the Fill in Form button, in my case, from our toolbar. I have not once used it.

    -Separately, please stop making the comment pane pop up automatically or enable that as a customizable setting I can turn off. Since the update, Acrobat keeps interpreting all text in my architectural CAD drawings as comments and opens them all in the comments pane even though they are NOT comments. It is annoying.

    -Also, you should have a rotate page button in the toolbar by default and it should go both clock and counterclockwise. My drawings routinely export sideways and it's tedious to click edit and then the rotate button three times for every new document.

    -Finally, I have been submitting this request since college (10 years ago), but please make a way to easily split scanned spreads into individual pages IN PAGE ORDER. Most professors scan books as full two page spreads. Sometimes I want to print or export them to my tablet as single pages so that it is more legible. There is STILL no way to automatically split them which blows my mind. Instead you have to duplicate each page, crop each of the twice as many pages and arrange them manually into page order. Sometimes the documents are hundreds of pages. It is wild this is still not a feature.

18. This pdf form requires a newer version of Adobe Acrobat

    When opening PDFs from various sources, I often receive a JS pop up stating "This pdf form requires a newer version of Adobe Acrobat...", in spite of having the latest version of Reader (23.008.20555 as of this post) installed. There are often multiple (as on 3-7+) popup dialogs that repeat this message whether OK or Cancel is pushed (the only difference being OK opens a browser window to redownload what I already have).

    The PDFs in question are often generated by 3rd parties, E.G. Tax preparation software online. One such recent example used iText 2.0.7, which uses PDF version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x) to generate a client's 2023 US tax paperwork.

    Disabling JavaScript is the only way to disable these incorrect warnings. However, when doing so, a large yellow banner then brands the document with a warning that the document uses JS for some features, which may or may not apply. It can't then be dismissed. If enabled for use though, which may be necessary to completely view a document, the same series of warnings once again surfaces unnecessarily.

    I have found this irritating and very problematic BUG across a variety of PDF documents over the past few years. This needs to be addressed in Acrobat itself IMHO. If the version of Acrobat in use is newer than the document opened, this should not happen. The version check is failing.

20. 不要每次開啟都預設展開「所有工具」側欄

    不要每次開啟都預設展開「所有工具」側欄，九成以上情境用不到，非常佔位。建議提供選項讓使用者決定要不要展開。
    Don’t expand the “All Tools” sidebar by default every time I open it. It will not be used in more than 90% of situations and takes up a lot of space. I'd recommend you to provide options for users to decide whether to expand or not.
