   Revert to previous edition - this is sluggish & cumbersome - bloatware at it's worst - does nothing whatsoever to enhance the product - a jobsworth production

2. "New UI Is Great" - no one

   Please stop tinkering with the UI. I know UI/UX designers need SOMETHING to do, but really?

3. The new UI is no good at all.

   I have used Acrobat for many, many years and this update to the UI is very frustrating. I don't really know why it is confusing, but it is. I don't see why the Tools needed to be grouped into tiny icons in a constant, annoying side-bar, they were much easier to pick and use (especially for newbies who I may teach to use the software in our office) when they were on their own tab, with the smaller handy icons on the right being useful once you understood each tool. It was what made Acrobat the preferred software against other PDF software.

   I use the Measuring Tool a lot. Before there were 3 simple icons added along the top bar (same as most tools), but now I have a large, unnecessary window pane all the way down the left side of the page which is very annoying. I mark up Architectural Designs and now I have an ugly side bar taking up valuable Monitor space, which means my pdf and mark up area is smaller to work with.

   Commenting using shapes, lines, arrows and callouts was neat and tidy before, with all tools clearly shown along the top bar and very easy to find, now they are in drop downs at the left and I am still struggling to find the square, circle and arrow tools, with an extra click to get to each one! I had a colleague give up the other day when I asked him to mark up a PDF for me because he doesn't use the software every day and was really struggling to find the right tools.

   Please, for the love of god, switch it back to the old UI. The simple User Interface is what made Acrobat the best PDF software out there! You had nailed it, and now you've just gone backwards.

   In my attachments, why would you feel the need to put the green marked toolsets along the top which are very clear and easy to access, into a large unnecessary pane on the left with awkward drop downs? It makes no sense to me.

   ALSO, why would you make it harder to find the page scrolling tools? Now down in the bottom right and trying to find "Fit One Full Page" yesterday was driving me crazy.

   Sort it out Adobe, really disappointing updates. Don't try and fix what isn't broken!

4. STOP MAKING SO MANY CHANGES!

   I HATE ADOBE. EVERY TIME IT IS "UPDATED", IT IS COMPLETELY CHANGED, BEYOND CONFUSING, USELESS, AND CAUSES OUR WHOLE COMPANY TO START LEARNING HOW TO USE IT ALL OVER, FROM THE BEGINNING AGAIN. IT'S A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME, AND THE ONLINE HELP IS OUTDATED AND USELESS DUE TO THE CHANGES. PICK A DESIGN/OPERATION/FUNCTIONALITY AND LEAVE IT ALONE! wtf.

5. Help your users transition to the new look

   The abruptness of this change felt like a slap to the face. I'm sure all the features I use are there . . . somewhere. Why don't you consider helping your users like the new look by using the usage data you're surely collecting to provide users a custom walkthrough of: here's this feature you frequently used, here's that feature you frequently used, oh and did you know you can customize placement of this thing and that. Oh and try this keyboard shortcut for this other thing it looks like you frequently do.

6. Why the Changes to Page Layouts

   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.

7. I cannot use the new mode. Need the traditional mode.

   I cannot use the new mode. I cannot find the updater. I had to reinstall Adobe Reader. The new mode is intolerably difficult to use and needs a rocket scientist to find anything.

10. Allow fillable forms to be marked as a "template".

    Request:
    A Microsoft Word document can be either a .docx or .dotx, the difference is that when saving the .docx, the file is overwritten; when saving the .dotx, a new file is created. I propose a similar feature for PDFs.

    Use Case:
    I've created a fillable PDF and saved it as a PDF to a network share and SharePoint. People have the tendency to open it, fill it out (as they should) and then click save (or Ctrl-S, muscle memory). That commits those filled form fields to the file system such that the next person who opens the file now sees a filled-out form.

    I would like to do something to the file so that "Save" doesn't work. For example, if the file extension were .pdft, and I opened it, it could behave the same as any other .pdf. However, when I chose to save the file, a compliant program would recognize that the preference is to create a new file, not overwrite the existing file.

    Context:
    I propose a file extension change instead of metadata in the file because it is much easier, and doesn't require the PDF standards consortium to get involved. A non-compliant program would just overwrite the file as usual. This means that any PDF program could open a .pdft file simply by, in Windows, right-click, open with, and choosing whatever program; they would see no functional difference. However, a compliant program would make the default save operation require a new file name.

    Such a convention would also be very easy for PDF tools made by other companies to implement more quickly promoting this convention.

    This has been asked of the Adobe Community before: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/can-i-create-a-pdf-quot-template-quot-akin-to-word-s-template-dotx-function/m-p/10485536

12. Bug Report - Acrobat Pro DC hangs on external Javascript editor

    I’m trying to edit Javascript in an external editor. This has worked for years until just now. I’ve tried Brackets and TextWrangler with the same failure. Acrobat launches the external editor, and waits until the editor process is no longer running. This means that you actually have to quit the editor after saving the document in order to make Acrobat respond to your input again. This is fine, it has always worked in the past. But now when I quit the external editor, Acrobat remains unresponsive because it's waiting for the external editor to close, even though it’s already closed.

14. Comments shall not get auto-locked

    I am working with Linde Engineering India (Linde AG) as Engineering consultant. Our daily routine job is to review various suppliers' documentation to meet the client requirement. Supplier submits the document which we review in .pdf using commenting tool. Previously we were using Acrobat 9 for this in Windows7. Now we are using Windows 10 for last more than 1 year and in that, we are only allowed to use Acrobat standard DC Version 2015.006.30033. In this Adobe Acrobat version, we are not able to edit the comments made by our peers / sub-ordinates before sending it back to Supplier easily. For this, we need to unlock each and every comments everytime for editing as well as for moving it to proper place on the document so that the information behind the comment block can be read by the next reviewer clearly. This is consuming a *** lot of time of us which is tedious and not desirable in this digitalized world. We shall have flexibility for the same so that we can work easily. For example, if I have received one supplier document which I have to send it to 3 other engineers for their review. When first reviewer comments, he himself can not edit the comments after some time of commenting or after saving the document some time. Secondly, the second/third reviewer also can not review the complete document as the previous reviewer's comments were locked and not movable so that the information beneath/behind the comment box can not be reviewed. Finally, when that document comes to me after completing the review cycle, my task is to consolidate the comments, arrange the comments and place it appropriately, and rephrase the comments clearly so that Supplier can understand the query/intension of those comments to move faster and resolve the issues. For doing so, I have to unlock each and every comment box every time (our one document can have more that hundreds or some times thousands of the comments). Now, please imagine the amount of work increased at our end. We are very tight with the schedule and we can not used Adobe. We need immediate attention and support from Adobe/Acrobat so that we can use this tool without above explained problem. Your positive and urgent/timely response will be highly appreciated. ALSO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED PLUG_IN OR UPDATE to be run in the same version of pdf which is referred in this description above.

16. stop "Recent" screen on opening DC and constantly opening

    Please Please stop the "Recent" screen opening, just put it back to where it was.

    The checkbox that was in Preferences - Catalogue, no longer exists, for windows, (yet it does for Mac)

    Thi sseems also tied into the chssck box to "stop" files opening as you are converting various files into one PDF, as as DC opens the individual files its stops the conversion process with the error "cannot continue as the xxxx file is open" i get round by being ready to close the file as it opens, but this is represents several steps backwards.

17. Provide a way to remove/move Request for signatures button in Office Home ribbon

    In a recent update, Adobe Acrobat added 2 buttons in Microsoft Office applications to "Request for Signatures" and "Create and Share Adobe PDF".

    This integration doesn't appear in the Ribbon or in the Add-ins list, so currently there is NO way to remove/move those buttons. It is a significant problem when you work with documents side by side or in lower resolution displays because they take too much space in the ribbon and force other more important buttons/groups to collapse/hide.

18. Keep "fit one full page" and 'fit to width scrolling" as separate buttons

    Please Keep "fit one full page" and 'fit to width scrolling" as separate buttons and not in one drop down menu. I switch between these two options a lot since I read a lot of scientific publications and I need to go back and forth, zoom in and out a lot. It is really annoying to click twice every single time.

20. Home/Tools/Document Tabs are intrusive and annoying

    It's pointless to customize and 'show' tool icons in the toolbar, because those tools that I want and use are hidden under the 3 dots. And that happens because Home, Tools, Document, and My Account is stuck permanently and uselessly in the toolbar.

    I have set the program to open multiple files in separate windows, so I don't need the Document tab. The Tools sidebar can be opened by clicking in the margin at the edge of the window, so I don't need that. And if users need to open and close files within the program (can't understand why), then put a non-intrusive Home button somewhere that doesn't eat up needed space in the toolbar. Idea: Make those tabs disable-able so we can use the toolbar for what it was originally intended.
