1. 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!

2. 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:

   1. 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 top.

   2. Page navigation tools including TOC and bookmarks used to be docked on the left side of the app. Now it's not there. I need it docked left.

   3. More tools used to be docked on the right side of the app like Export PDF, Edit PDF, Create PDF, etc and I could collapse it so I didn't actually see it. Now it is replaced with some kind of page navigation pane with "Edit, delete, or reply to comments", "Add, delete, or go to a specific bookmark", page thumbnails, next page and previous page and zoom. I need it the other older way.

   4. The old app interface had File, Edit, View, Sign, Window, Help in the top toolbar with Home and Tools in a toolbar just below that with the open files as tabs next to them in that same toolbar. Now there is just a Menu button with a bunch of options and a home button and the open files as tabs next to that menu and home button. I need it the old way.

   There's more too but this where I have to start over each time. It's awful. Why did you one day just decide the way everyone had been using it for years needed to be changed? And now I have to keep changing it back and have been doing so for years and I'm sick of it.

   And while I'm at it, remove any traces of AI from your products. Didn't ask for it. Don't need it. Don't want it.

3. 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 home screen still trying to upsell me with irrelevant promos?

   All of this clutters the interface and makes the actual purpose of Acrobat harder to reach. A Publisher Mode without ads, promos, or unrelated features would make Acrobat far more usable.

5. pop-ups

   Get your fingers out of my business. I pay the full price to use your software. So stop shoving pop-ups for new functions and other services in my face. I'm trying to work here. I'm not here for fun, and I sure as **** am not here for YOU. It's supposed to be the other way around. You're supposed to be the industry leader; act like it or I'll find another provider. They'll still push pop-ups in front of me, but they'll charge half the price for it. You should be ashamed.

9. Comments sidebar font size

10. bookmarks

    Don't open bookmarks by default!

    When opening a document that has bookmarks embedded in it, the bookmarks panel opens automatically (and slowly) and takes up a third of the screen. It's infuriating, takes several seconds before it can be closed, and is completely pointless. Ditch it, or make it take up a tiny fraction of the screen space. I hate the way Acrobat prioritizes bookmarks over every other aspect of the interface.

11. No AI, Add Favorite Tools Option

    The Home menu is terrible, and continues to get more and more cluttered with every update.

    First, why does my "Recommended tools for you" list, default to AI every time I open this app, and I have to click an arrow to the next page with the actual tools. I am so sick of companies shoving "time saving" AI down my throat that actually just ends up wasting my time.

    Second, I would love to be able to set favorite tools, rather than these recommendations. They are truly terrible. What are they basing this suggestions on? I have never even used "Request e-signatures" tool and it's the first one to appear on this list. But it's also right next to this recommended list, in it's own box under "Get documents signed fast". So why is it even an option to appear under the recommendations?

    The fact that it's faster and less frustrating to just to click on the "See all tools" option to find the one I need, means that you are doing a bad job at UI.

12. "Highlight Current Bookmark" doesn't work

    The "Highlight Current Bookmark" option doesn't work. It is very useful when it works, so it should be fixed.
    Issue:
    I have the "Highlight Current Bookmark" option enabled, and working bookmarks in my document. If scroll to a certain part of the document, or jump to it by navigating search results, no bookmark is highlighted. If I then enable "Expand Current Bookmark", the corresponding bookmark is expanded, and the highlighted boomark becomes visible. But then when I scroll further, the highlighting doesn't change, and I need to click "Expand Current Bookmark" again to update the highlighting, even if I am within the same chapter and the bookmark is already expanded. As you can see in the attached screenshot, even though I have "Highlight current bookmark" enabled, none of the bookmarks are highlighted.
    Expectation:
    If I have "Highlight Current Bookmark" enabled and "Expand Current Bookmark" disabled, the current chapter is automatically highlighted as I am navigating through the document (regardless of navigation method). If I have both "Highlight Current Bookmark" and "Expand Current Bookmark" enabled, the chapter I am currently viewing is automatically expanded in the bookmark bar, and the lowest-level bookmark is highlighted.
    Use case:
    When I am scrolling through the document or jumping from search hit to search hit, I always want to see which chapter/section I am in the document, as it is very important for understanding the context.

13. Bookmark Panel

    Please, please allow a feature to DISABLE the bookmarks panel. It is completely useless in most cases but always opens on every new document. I open a lot of new PDFs every day, and EVERY SINGLE ONE pops up with a bookmark panel that is useless and takes up half of the viewing pane, which I then have to close. Truly, it is enough for me to stop using this program and find any other option, even if it has fewer features. This feedback does not seem uncommon when I spent a lot of time searching around for a solution.

    Just put an option in the preferences to disable the bookmarks panel, please.

14. Window is not draggable due to UI

    There is no blank space to drag the adobe acrobat window anymore. I would wager less than 1/10,000 people have ever deliberately chosen the "create pdf" option. Get that out of the way so that the window can be moved again. It's such basic functionality that the mind boggles it still hasn't been addressed.

15. The forced New Acrobat experience removed essential functionality and caused major workflow disruption.

    Critical workflow regression: Missing modification asterisk, broken autosave indicators, and forced UI changes in new Acrobat
    This report describes multiple regressions introduced by the forced New Acrobat experience that significantly disrupted my workflow and removed essential functionality.
    Description:
    I want to report several issues caused by the forced rollout of the new Acrobat experience. These changes significantly disrupted my workflow and required extensive troubleshooting to restore basic functionality.
    1. Removal of the modification asterisk
    The classic asterisk indicator (showing when a PDF has unsaved changes) no longer appears, even in Classic mode. This is a critical regression. Without it, there is no clear visual confirmation that edits have been registered. The new UI’s Favorites star icon looks similar and adds confusion.
    2. Autosave and recovery behavior is undocumented and inconsistent
    Acrobat no longer uses the traditional AutoSave folder under the user profile. The folder exists but remains empty, even when autosave and recovery are active. Recovery now appears to rely on session metadata rather than autosave files, but this is not documented anywhere. This made troubleshooting extremely difficult.
    3. Forced UI transitions removed essential tools
    Switching between the new and classic interfaces caused annotation and drawing tools to disappear temporarily. The new interface also opened documents in modes that allowed editing but did not mark the file as modified.
    4. No warnings when autosave or modification tracking is inactive
    When Acrobat cannot write to its autosave location, there is no alert or error message. This leads to silent failures that put documents at risk.
    5. Windows user-folder naming confusion worsened the problem
    Windows displays a friendly user name (“Barbara Johnston”) that does not match the actual user folder (“cello”). Acrobat’s error messages did not clarify this, making it extremely difficult to diagnose why autosave was not functioning.
    Impact:
    These issues caused days of lost time and significant frustration. Acrobat is a critical tool for my work, and reliability is essential. The lack of documentation, silent failures, and removal of long standing indicators made the transition unnecessarily difficult.
    Requested improvements:
    • Restore the modification asterisk in Classic mode
    • Provide clear warnings when autosave or recovery cannot run
    • Automatically create required folders (AutoSave, Temp, etc.)
    • Improve transparency around editing modes and document state
    • Avoid forced UI rollouts that remove essential tools
    • Provide documentation for the new autosave/recovery architecture
    Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope it helps improve the experience for other users.

16. BUG: "View" context menu missing from Outlook portfolios

    Steps to reproduce the issue: Create portfolio from multiple email messages in Outlook and attempt to change column headers and set a split view.

    Environment: Acrobat Pro 2024/Classic, Windows 11, Outlook 365.

    Expected result: In the previous version of Acrobat (2020 Pro, perpetual licence) I could open an email portfolio file and make minor changes, primarily to 1) set a horizontal/vertical window split view and 2) add a “To” column the default From/Subject/Date/Attachments/Size columns.

    Observed result: When right-clicking on a column heading the previously existing right-click "View" context/submenu is missing. See attached screenshots. The functionality is still there because I'm able to sort the emails by "To", but adding columns or setting a split view isn't possible.
