  1. This is more of a complaint. This new e-signatures feature you all put in for the PDFs has messed up the ability to enter information into fill sections. I can't change the information in the fill sections anymore.

    Overall, could you all just stop messing with stuff for a little while and let us get used to whats already there? You all have added so many new features and stuff that it's becoming convoluted. Just stop. Ya'll doing too much.

  2. Naturally, I use adobe acrobat reader mainly for reading pdfs. However, with the new update, I find the big bright colourful button in the top right corner very distracting. Acrobat reader is designed mainly for viewing pdfs, so it would make sense for it to have a streamline user interface that puts emphasis on the pdf being viewed. While that is the strategy adopted by most pdf viewers, it seems like acrobat reader took a turn for the worst and decided to sacrifice user interface in order to force AI features that nobody asked for into their users workflow.

  3. The user experience of using the Accessibility tags feature is unacceptably inefficient. Consider that the user might need to tag hundreds of documents, themselves hundreds of pages. Try this yourself, or observe someone else trying it. You should quickly see how unnecessarily slow and tedious the workflow is, using these tools. Dragging little tiny icons around in the sidebar panel is slow, difficult, and often inaccurate. There's no way to just click on something on the screen to indicate what it is and how it should be tagged. You can't draw an area around an image/caption. When the auto tag…

  4. Acrobat Pro does not always allow the text selection tool to actually select text (in OCR'd or otherwise readable text distilled from a Word doc or whatever). Quitting the app then restarting solves the problem, temporarily, but later the bug returns. There are threads about this on Reddit and other places. I am not able to produce a screenshot because I cannot capture a picture of Acrobat not allowing the selection tool to work.

  6. I DESPERATELY want a user preference that inhibits automatically opening the left side toolbar. I've seen a couple of other comments on the same topic where an Adobe engineer claims that F8 turns off the menu. News Flash: F8 does nothing in my Acrobat Reader AND I ALWAYS want the left-side tools menu hidden, unless summoned. I<b> READ</b> PDFs with Acrobat <b>Reader</b>, I don't need or want to see editing tools. So far (after YEARS of use) I haven't needed to redact, highlight, or annotate (comment), but I can see those capabilities as being potentially valuable when needed, though RARELY.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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??

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
