Having finally made it possible to permanently hide the Page Controls, you still waste valuable toolbar space with the Help and Feedback icons.

Please will you remove the FEEDBACK and the HELP icons and put them out of the way somewhere - you don't seem to have understood that we who use the product in Pre-Press need AS MUCH SPACE FOR TOOLS AS POSSIBLE

Hello,

Thanks for Reaching out to us for your Queries.

I would like to let you know that you can always Drag and drop your Favorite Apps from the Right hand Panel to the Top toolbar to quickly access those apps.
Also you can add the Tools(such as commenting tools) to the top toolbar by drag drop from the comment app to the top toolbar.

Anyways, you can always use "Customize quick tools" menu from the toolbar context menu toolbar to add/delete tools from your Top toolbar.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

Should be able to drag and drop tools you use often to the customized tool bar at the top of the document. Why does it have to be so hard to do that?

Everything is hidden

when opening Acrobat the list of recent files default is distracting and unuseful. Acrobat should open to a blank page as it had done in all previous versions.

Hi,

Sorry for the issue that you are facing with the Recent list in Home View.

Can you please specifically let us know exactly where are you facing issues in the recent list

-Ayush

Yes please! Even the icons are too big and too spaced out.

How do I get rid of the @#$@$$! Get Started screen that stays up when I close all document tabs? Very annoying. Previous version preference seems to have been removed. This annoyance is in Acrobat Pro DC 2017 and Reader on Windows

New tool bars are horrible. All single color and look very similar. Very hard to decipher which tool is which.

Limiting to a single line of tools is also problematic. Miss the ease of the older right hand menu too (example - extracting a page used to be very simple click; now it is 3-4 steps).

Much prefer the old version's (X) ease of use.

WOULD PREFER TOOL BARS/ICONS TO BE SMALLER. THEY TAKE UP TOO MUCH SPACE ON THE SCREEN.

Even on the new black themed layout, the icons are massive. It would be nice to be able to make those title bars slimmer and icons smaller to allow more visual and working space. Currently they just take up so much room and it really is not needed. That is what the magnification tool is for, people who need to see things larger than normal people.

Just get rid of the Home and Tools tab/bar all together. I find them annoying and not necessary. It would free up so much space. You already have the shortcuts you customize on either the actual toolbar or on the right side window.

TBH, I was using Acrobat Pro 11 for the LONGEST time, I unfortunately have to force myself to get used to this new interface.

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

Please make the icon size smaller or give users the option to make it smaller.

LET US DECIDE IF WE WANT TO SEE THE RECENT FILE MENU AND TURN IT OFF!!!!!

Interface is clunky and difficult to navigate. Full support of menu customization including ability to create user defined keyboard shortcuts and workspaces would be a huge improvement.

You can delete all recent files by clicking on 'Clear Recent Files' button at the bottom in 'Recent tab'

Hide the list of recent files when I launch Acrobat Pro DC

I have been searching for an option to permanently hide the tools pane that always pops up on the right side of the screen upon opening Acrobat Pro DC. After reading various blogs I see that it is apparently not possible to remove this from appearing, so I will have to manually hide it EVERY SINGLE TIME the program is opened. How annoying is that? Please include an option to disable this pane with the next update. I most often just need to use Acrobat for viewing documents, and rarely/never use any of the options in the Tools pane that take up such a large part of the default reading screen.

I find the user interface of Acrobat Pro DC to be intrusive and inefficient, especially the home screen which takes over the screen. I've installed DC three times since it came out, and each time I've deleted it within an hour because using it is so painful. One feature I use a lot is commenting, and commenting in DC is almost unusable. Perhaps if choosing the old interface were an option, then I might be able to upgrade. Until then, nope.

In addition, please allow customisation of the headings. I look for:
- "Pages" not "Organize Pages" (or "Page Organization" if you must)
- "Media" not "Rich Media"
- "Forms" not "Prepare Form"
etc
I can't intuitively find anything in the new interface - the search tools works well, but if I'm having to use it to find everything the interface has failed.
Thanks.

I have been using Adobe products for 20+ years, and I am very irritated at the direction they are going. Why should I have to wait 1-5 seconds for a "home" screen to open; why do I have to FIND the tools I need, when the last iteration (sidebar tools, easily accessed) was so simple, so quick? And if the window is not full-screen, I have to click to access the icons in the toolbar because they are so large. I am a professional and work on a laptop. If you want to create an iPad-loving version, sell it as such.
