  1. When i open a PDF file that contains layers (most of our generated drawings) the 'Layers' side panel always opens, this is not required and I have to manually close the side panel every time, please add an option to stop side panels or tool panels from opening automatically.

  2. First of all: great new clean look of Acrobat interface, I really like it. finally I can put my long desired "save as..." button in the toolbar, crazy it is not there by default but I can live with that.

    Now why are the above elements not editable? For example the most used tools as the black arrow and the hand tool are hidden both under the arrow tool. It's one click extra again every time I like to switch from the one tool to the other. Like in other Adobe applications, please make that toolbar fully editable so we…

  4. Nearly each time I open adobe it pops up and reminds me I can edit PDFs
    I GOT IT
    I GET IT
    I JSUT WANT TO #$(!( READ MY GOD DAMMED ($!(! PDF .

    I miss the early 2000's when Adobe worked, was relaible ,and didn't constantly **** stuff around

    For example, I needed to redact a PDF, it only let me select text but the PDF was improperly created so the text colums were all over the place.
    All I needed to do was drop a simple redcatiion box, SIMPLE

    Fire your project manager, get some real…

  5. I don't want to have the plus sign "Create a PDF" button in the toolbar. I never use any of the three actions mousing over that button does, and I'm always accidentally mousing over it when I'm trying to move the application around on my screen. I will have to disable new Acrobat because this button messes up my workflow. I hope this can be fixed before the older Acrobat display is discontinued.

  6. I UNDERSTAND AI IS DEVELOPING, AND WANT TO POINT OUT A PROBLEM. I AM A SCREENWRITER. I USED THE NEW ADOBE GENERATIVE AI IN ACROBAT TO ANALYZE A PORTION OF A SCREENPLAY I WROTE. WHEN I ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT A DETECTIVE ANALYZING PICTURES OF A CRIME SCENE, THE RESPONSE WAS "SOME CONTENT IN THE DOCUMENT, QUESTON, AND/OR ANSWER VIOLATES THE USER GUIDELINES"

    THE GUIDELINES AT
    https://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms/adobe-gen-ai-user-guidelines.html THREATEN THAT "We may take action on your Adobe account if we discover content or behavior that violates these Guidelines."

    FIRST: THE AI SHOULD RECOGNIZE CREATIVE WRITING, SUCH AS A SCREENPLAY. SECOND: A…

  8. In previous versions of Adobe Standard, we are able to organize pages orientation using the small feature that appears as we linger on that page. However, during the 2 previous updates, this feature seems to not work and we have to rotate using the Organize Page side bar. Please look into this.

  9. Awfully slow program on a very fast computer. Keeps stalling when I open it. Then it wants to restore my document and it stalls again so I close it. Gotta wait for all the unwanted bloat to load before I start editing my document.

  10. The format box that appears when typing in a comment is not moveable and overlaps with my document - sometimes OVER the comment I'm trying to type. making it VERY difficult to edit text or use the PDF. Can't this be dockable? or at least Moveable??

  11. I would like to provide feedback and request that the speed in processing e-signature be improved.

    I find the time it takes to process an e-signature from entering in the recipient email to dropping in the signature block for sending is quite slow.

    We use Acrobat DC e-signing a lot and this would improve the time it takes to process these.

  12. The new "+ Create" button on the right side of the tabs is totally misplaced. It opens a popup that gets in the way when you want to move the window, if you have a lot of tabs open, which I usually do. The more logical place for it would definitely be in the toolbar below. It's just annoying and makes me want to install another reader.

  13. The line spacing between bookmarks in the bookmarks panel is now a full line, meaning the content of this panel is 50% wasted space. Plus they are all indented, which is more wasted space especially because many now spill over onto a second line. On my 1440-pixel tall display, I can see 30 items. But if I open the same document in Firefox, the bookmark panel shows 42 items. So it's much easier to find what I am looking for in a long document.

    Please don't design everything for touch. I don't need giant touch targets. I want to see…

  14. in previous version of Acrobat, you could set a Preference/General to open files in separate windows. This is not available in our current version per Adobe support.
    Cannot go back to older version as this is a municipal account.
    Please add this option.

  16. Seit Ihr Idioten ??? Was soll das mit der neuen Version, die ist nur Müll.
    Irgendwelche Studierte/IT Entwickler meinen wie toll sie alles machen und dann kommt nur scheißdreck raus. Das sind dann die Menschen die wahrscheinlich auch nie mit dem Programm tagtäglich Arbeiten müssen !!!
    Einfach nur schrecklich !!!! OK MEINE IDEE, WIEDER ZURÜCK ZUR ALTEN VERSION

  17. Hello
    The UI has just been updated under Windows (2024-01-18), which I like so far.
    But what has remained the same is the settings window.
    I have now counted over 320 (!!!) individual setting options in all categories.
    What do you think, does this contribute to user-friendliness?
    I think certainly not.
    The other day I finally dug through all the options to see what else would make sense to set.
    I was extremely busy for many hours.
    And I think a lot of things could be simplified and left out or implemented in a more user-friendly way.
    Or perhaps an…

  18. In the previous version, I could efficiently conduct a text review by simply selecting the text and entering the new content to initiate a substitution. However, with this latest version, I find myself compelled to navigate to the cumbersome panel on the left and manually choose the function for EACH text substitution. This change has significantly impacted productivity. Kindly reconsider and revert to the previous functionality for a more streamlined experience.

  19. Visual accessibility for people with less than optimal vision: I am 82 years old and the font size for the Menu icon is really small. Why not make it a little larger? Everything else on the page is larger. In fact, if everything were in a slightly larger font size, it would be a blessing too!

  20. Although this has been mentioned by others, I wanted to bring a different perspective to the request. Apologies for doubling up on the ask--

    Please allow users to create multiple signature profiles. It is impractical for many businesses and, honestly, the effect is kind of sexist. The impact of the policy likely affects women who use Acrobat DC disproportionately as they are more likely to use separate names in the workplace and their private lives compared to their male counterparts. They are also more likely to serve in roles where they may have to sign on behalf of one or…
