  1. Why do companies feel the need to constantly "improve" on the lay-out and appearance of an applicaiton that works great? I've noticed that many companies are changing the lay-out, appearance or style of their products. Adobe Reader recently underwent a change. Much of the same products are there, just moved to different locations on the page, making for 1) another learning curve 2) frustration as to why things changed. Don't "fix" what wasn't broken.

  2. The new UI doesn't show the full file name anywhere without having to hover over the tab even though there seems to be lots of available space.

  3. Steps to reproduce:

    1. Be on an Apple Mac with one monitor (I'm currently on macOS 13.4.1c)
    2. Create two Apple Spaces
    3. In Space A, open PDF #1
    4. In Space B, open PDF #2

    Expected result: After step 3 Acrobat creates a new window in Space A that displays PDF #1, and after step 4 Acrobat creates a new window in Space B that displays PDF #2.

    Actual result: After step 4 Acrobat loads PDF #2 into the window in Space A that currently displays PDF #1 (bug #1), and then it tries and fails to switch to that Space, instead switching…

  4. The mouse cursor and some other functions are EXTREMELY SLOW to respond making the application practically unusable. It takes about 10 times longer to do anything because of this.

    I have to move my mouse to something and then hover for a couple of seconds before I can make the action I want to make.

    This seems like an intended thing as there's no lag, not waiting on processing, nothing like that - the cursor just isn't responsive, almost as if it were a safety feature.... but it is extremely annoying and I can't use this application in the current…

  5. I have been advised that if you don't have an Adobe Acrobat license then you cannot log into Adobe Acrobat Pro and have it function as Adobe Reader. You need to use the Adobe Reader product.

    The website https://helpx.adobe.com/au/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html currently suggests that you should be able to log into Adobe Acrobat Pro and have it operate as Adobe Reader.

    My suggestion is to update the website so that it is clearer that you must be licensed with Adobe Acrobat in order to use the product and that it you have PCs being access by users who do and don't have…

  6. There are so many shortcomings and problems with the new 2023 GUI interface. Here are just a few:

    1. Swapping left and right-hand panels for no reason. This does not improve anything for users. It just forces users to change everything about how they work in Acrobat every workday.

    2. Functions are indicated by random icons. In the 90s, we learned that icons in software and websites don't work across different populations. Users have a difficult time figuring out what the heck they mean. Give text labels.

    3. The left panel is permanently positioned on the screen and obscures part of the document…

  7. When in expanded window mode (filling whole screen but not in full screen mode) the autohide windows taskbar is inaccessible.
    You are unable to access the windows toolbar to change programs
    This is the only program that causes the issue.
    Have tried adjusting window settings.

  9. The DISABLE NEW ACROBAT must be a big flashing buttton on the main start page if you ever do that again. My lawyer will sue. I nearly died. People depend on being able to do work WHEN they need to do it.

  11. I miss the benefits of having the dedicated menu bar at the top. This new UI is too compact and it is causing a loss of communication.

    1 - It was difficult to find the preferences menu as it is tucked into a small all-in-one menu. The Preferences pane did not allow me to turn on the typical application bar at the top of the page (File, Edit/ ...). I would like to be able to opt into this again. Firefox let's me turn this on.

    2 - The file names are constrained to the tabs. Even when a tab…

  12. Please allow more customization for: (1) navigation commands in the lower right panel. I would like to add previous and next view (2) positioning of the vertical floating bar (I am right-handed and it is more convenient to have it on the right side, for other it will be more convenient on the left, where it is right now)

  13. I recently noticed that Adobe included a dedicated "Night Mode" on the mobile version of acrobat reader in the latest update. I used it & it's great. To tell the truth, I had to use another third-party pdf reader whenever I needed to read pdf in Dark Mode. That problem is solved a little bit because of the dedicated "Night Mode" on the mobile version. But I still have to face hassle on the pc. I searched on the Internet. It told me to change the color options in the accessibility. It doesn't always help, to be honest. Some pdfs…

  14. Please remove the "Get business features." upgrade prompt from the tools panel. I'm an individual user and already pay for the full Creative Cloud suite, so I'm never going to need a team plan. Having that prompt on my screen constantly with no way of getting rid of it is really annoying!

  16. With the old user interface for Acrobat, the page indicator in the toolbar used to display the current page label in addition to the current page index. This is useful for documents that have multiple sections each with their own page numbering, e.g. a preface with roman numerals i thru xix before the first page numbered 1. It was also useful to be able to enter a page number and be taken to the page with the corresponding label rather than just to the page at that index.

    However, since the launch of the new Acrobat user interface, page…

  17. previously, when extracting a page, I had control of where it went and how to do it. This feature is now called a split? This upgrade is absolutely assenine. Your team took a perfectly functional aspect of Adobe and ****** it up. There is now no control where it goes. It keeps the original document. There's no "how to use" your new product upgrade, which, lets be honest, is a downgrade. I pay >$150/year for this for YEARS, the least your team could do was to make the interface simple and seamless - with maybe some tips so when you…

  18. Cannot use my touch screen to scroll a pdf. There used to be a little hand on the tool bar that I could click to make the touch screen scrolling work. However, the latest update to the reader seems to have removed that. I cannot find a way to turn on the touch screen scrolling now. Very annoying. Can you tell me how to fix this either permanently or as I did before by clicking on the little hand?

  19. The sidebar pops up EVERY time I try to do something and I can't see the file! WHY??? My job is infinitely harder because of this. I also can't use the Ctrl S function to save. This is literally maddening.

  20. Adobe Reader Version 2023.00.020244 64bit. When opening a PDF file with more than 1000 pages, the total page number is displayed in 4 digits, but the current page number is displayed in a text box with only the top 3 digits displayed. If you click on the text box, all four digits are displayed. If you click on the text box, all four digits are displayed.
