Acrobat for Windows and Mac: User Interface

(thinking…)

Revert UI back to Acrobat Pro layout

No basic functionality in the top menu (Reduce File, etc.), no immediate access to a Marquee Zoom tool because the tool bar has to be opened in a separate tab every time I open a file before I can use them. I'm shocked that Adobe is still pushing on with this awful excuse for a UI. It's convoluted and a waste of user time, let alone visually inconsistent with all other Adobe products. Lots of user complaints relating to the same issues but, as usual, Adobe don't appear to want to fix it, just carry on shoe-horning what they think we need into our workflow.

    Thanks, Arpit.
    I understand how I can make DC better to use now. It would make a lot more sense if this was clearer when you first install - maybe a 'classic' or 'default' mode? Or a porting of preferences? The customisation of tools is very vague and probably extremely underused. It would have certainly saved me a lot of cursing and avoiding using the software over the last year or so. If Pro was still working well on my machine I would still be using that and ignoring DC. It was only out of necessity I switched and felt the need to contact you.

    Hoping this helps me settle in with the application now.

    Regards
    Eddie

    Hi Eddie,

    Thanks for Reaching out to us. Sorry for the Inconvenience caused at your end. Can you please follow below steps and see if this resolves the issue for you :

    1. For Reduce File you can always access that functionality from File menu option after opening the file.
    2. For Marquee Zoom Tool: Right Click on Top Bar >> Goto "Show Select & Zoom Tools" >> Click on "Marquee Zoom". Marquee Zoom Tools is now added on top bar for you. you can access it right from top bar every time you open file again.

    I hope this resolves the issue at your end. Please feel free to reach out in case of any issues.

    Regards,
    -Arpit
