  1. Updates are killing work flow. It took me calling in to find out how to undo what the automatic updates changed. I get that change is a part of any program's life, but when your change interrupts the ability to smoothly work within the program, for no other reason than 'change is good', you are failing your customers. If you are going to continue to force change (bad changes at that) on your customers, get ready to loose them to 3rd party programs.

    If change is required, add in a way that we can modify to keep what we need…

  2. What was the perceived problem with the old interface? Did any user testing go into the redesign? I feel sorry for the designers and developers who had to implement this overhaul, and I feel disdain for the leadership that must have driven the change. Middle management should push back harder against initiatives like this.

  3. Tool bar limitations are getting ugly. For example, cannot add / edit navigation tools to tool bar anymore. Some of us like to jump to the beginning / end of a document without having to wade through layers of menus. And why are the commonly used tools (page up page down print etc) tucked down in the lower right hand corner instead of on the tool bar near the top of the window like normal folk do?! Speaking of, there is a tool bar there but it is all empty space. What a freaking waste of screen space for no…

  7. Dear Acrobat,

    Please listen to customers and stop alienating them. People become dependent on your product through work. Please restore the version you threw out. You are creating unnecessary pain. Why does your company resist real feedback?

  8. Along with others I am horrified at the tragic mess the UX (yes, user experience) has become. The UI design is following the unfortunate trend of "unify everything" into a web/mobile topology that has been infecting applications for a while now.

    I had a well-developed workflow in Acrobat Pro, that the new & obnoxious UI design, that you shoved down my CPU's throat, broke. More than that, the usability of the new atrocity is a step back.

    A number of problems/defects are exhibited, but the three deal breakers are:
    1- the floating toolbar (it's fine to have it as an…

  9. I shake my head every time a software company changes its look or its lay-out just for the sake of change. If it's not broke, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

    This week has been taxing because a good majority of my work deals with Adobe Pro documents. My muscle memory is completely off because y'all decided to flip the layout to opposite sides of the screen. I have to squint every time I'm looking for the print button. It's just like when Samsung decided to change sides for the volume and power buttons. Why?

    Where is my "Save As" icon?!? I shouldn't…

  10. In new layout there is no place where I can check the name of opened file. On tabs there is place only for short file names. When file name is longer I have to hover over the tab to see its name in tooltip. There should be possibility to show whole file name in other way.

    In old layout whole filename is presented at the title bar.

  11. This has to be the dumbest user interface "upgrade" I have ever seen in my LIFE!!!! Tasks that I used to breeze through are taking me forever. The **** stamps won't turn off after I use it one time and only need it one time. I used to be able to copy text boxes and paste them. Way to foul things up!!!

  12. Your new interface update is horrible. I understand the need for simplification the attempt to make things easier for the end user, but not every one has the same needs. I don't NEED a tool bar that I can't get rid of or at least customize for my needs. I need a program that will give me the option to select and de-select the functions I use on a daily basis. I don't care about e-sign, but I would like to have an icon to organize pages with out having to go through two or three menus.

    Yes you made…

  13. This new floating, unhideable toolbar needs to go! Give me the old tools interface back. It is unfathomable to me that Adobe is just going to push out this interface with no choice for the customer. It might seem like a small change, but this appears to have been done with very little thought for the user.

  14. The new "what's next" side panel button does not go away when de-selecting it from the side panel tool bar. It abruptly opens after changing between tools like Scan/OCR to Accessibility. This happens after editing a PDF as well. It is disruptive and unhelpful for my workflow.

  15. Once 1 pdf is open, opening other pdfs' has a severe lag, sometimes minutes before 2rd, 3rd, etc. pdf will open.
    I need to open multiple pdfs in separate windows and cross analyze them, and after opening the 1st pdf the lag becomes so slow that we are actively looking for other programs besides Adobe for creating/editing pdfs.

  16. This is someone else's comment, but so apropos! "Visual designers managed to ruin a tool that was excellent and practical. The environment is now completely different, difficult to use, confusing, with no work flow. I would recommend a book to designers: Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think"."

    This is impossible to use.

    I chose the "user interface" category only because I couldn't select "all of the above." I also created an account for the sole purpose of posting this.

  17. Why on earth would I want a floating tool selector bar that blocks the view of the document I am trying to read? There isn't even an option to snap this back onto the top or bottom of the screen, or even in the new (unwanted) sidebar that contains loads of empty space?

    I'm officially done with Adobe PDF reader.

  20. Clicking on the Acrobat Reader icon in the Windows taskbar shows a thumbnail preview for each open tab. This is counter-intuitive because it is contrary to every other program i use and know that has tabs (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, File Explorer, Notepad etc.): they display a thumbnail preview for each open window, but not for every tab. Besides, Acrobat Reader’s behaviour is confusing if you have a lot of tabs open.

    Therefore, please don’t show tabs, only windows in the taskbar preview (or at least offer a setting for this).

    Environment:
    Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2024.005.20320
    Windows 11 version 24H2
