Usability
My attempts to use Acrobat were the most frustrating experience of my 31 years on Macs. The program crashed constantly. Simple operations proved to be obtuse and non-intuitive and the layout of the tools, together with the process of interacting with the program, is very badly thought out. The tools page opens a page of cheesy icons resembling something from a children’s book, and why, for example, would anyone hide the ability to insert a rectangle under ‘comments’? Crazy.
I spent almost a whole day (consulting Adobe help files and online sources) just trying to bring an image to the front. I had to give up in the end because absolutely nothing worked and why does a PDF program not accept imported PDF images? PNG and jpegs work OK.
The play buttons for audio annotations, with their thick bounding boxes, are HORRIBLE. There appears to be no way of constraining the aspect ratio of dragged-out shapes and attempts to refine them after placement just distort the whole icon.
Custom icons using posters only appear to work with WAV files but MP3 is the most common online format by far.
Altogether a really nasty program. Sorry,
