Thanks to those who pointed out that you can disable this new interface.

I couldn't get my head around it at all. The previous version had so much flexibility and the assigning of specific fields to specific people made it easy to use. It would not assign with the new version. The old version was great in making some sections read-only which I couldn't find in the new version.
My worry is they have the Revert to old Acrobat in at the moment but you know they will remove that eventually.

Thank goodness there's an option to "Disable new Acrobat" because the new interface is the worst "upgrade" I've ever seen!!! The employees (and management) who thought this was a good idea should be demoted at best. (Personally, I would clean house!)

The new set-up is incredibly inconvenient. Not only is it difficult to find the tools we're used to, but we can't even delete the tools we don't want/don't use from the toolbar!! And if there's a way to organize the tools, I have yet to discover it.

Some tools seem to have been eliminated entirely, such as the little camera/snapshot tool that used to live in the upper left corner. Thankfully I know the keyboard "shortcut" to be able to do it because I use that feature all the time.

It also appears as though the Editing PDFs capabilities have either changed beyond recognition or been eliminated.

No one has time to research where to find things or to completely relearn a program that wasn't broken. I agree with the person who said these things should be tested with real live users before being launched! I can't imagine anyone who works in this environment on a daily basis would be pleased with any of the changes. (If you're out there...please, by all means, enlighten me!! I'm dying to know what you think is good about the changes.)

I've switched back to the old interface and am beyond happy to be there!!

When will ADOBE take action taking into account the numerous comments that **** the so-called "new" utterly worthless interface?

User interface in Acrobat has been reduced to the worst possible with significant reduced functionality - the old user interface was SO MUCH CLEARER and intuitive. I am really upset about the elimination of editable / scalable text annotation function too - please BRING BACK the earlier features! This is really so frustrating and disappointing.

Totally agree & just reverted to old Acrobat!

Click on Menu in upper left corner
Select “Disable new Acrobat”
You can always switch back to this by going to View and then Enable New Acrobat

I don't know who greenlighted this UX and pushed it out unannounced, no warning, no guidance on where things are...

Seriously I can't wait to retire and never have to use Adobe software again.

I mean, fix the bugs and make the basics more functional before pushing out an interface that is just going to **** people off.

terrible new GUI, please look into how users can fidnwhat they want. And worst of all you guys just swapped everything over! people are used to finding things on the right side of the GUI and the UI developers went and moved it to the left! really? then moved the left to the right.

Tool bar is small and needs more clicks to get to the actual tool. Need unnecessary editing.

Every "new" interface is worse than the one before it. I would kill for the Acrobat Pro X or XI interface. Just more ADHD obsessed Millennials and GenZs looking for something to do to justify their miserably excuse for existence.

I completely agree with this comment. The new user interface is bad while the old one was adequately functional.

Totally! They literally added 3 mouse clicks for several tasks that used to be 1 shortcut.

I just did a new Adobe Acrobat Pro install on a computer and there was a pop-up option to not use the new user interface, but to revert to the "old one".
You can also switch to the new (current) interface if you'd like.
I prefer the old one, as I'm used to it, and it works just fine.

Thank god I don't have to use Reader on my main machine and still use trusty old Acrobat Pro XI. Solid UI and none of the eye bleeding white monstrosity that I was presented with today.

And for everyone blaming the programmers, it is not their fault, it is the UI designers and Product Managers that let this **** get through. Probably an exec or two in there who saw some other app that looked as ****** and this and said, I bet our users would like this too.

The only thing that will make this change back to something usable is for them to lose market share. Go download and use any of the other tools that don't look like this.

What is the point of having a App that is so not user friendly, that you need to go to University to learn how to use it. Does free classes on how to use it come with it? I’m sick and tired of having to google it up, every single little thing I’m trying to do, what a fffffff hassle, I’m so frustrated and ****** of , I don’t even get my school projects done, right now Adobe = Super lame. And why this “Loren Ipsum” text keeps popping up every time, can’t even touch the track pad and the stupid thing pops up again wtf, so stupid Loren Ipsum.

marie gignac: "Uninstall the ****** version..."

Thanks, but some of us work in an enterprise environment and are subject to the mandates of our corporate overlords. Eliciting change at the source is our only hope to rid humanity of this injustice.

To everyone hating the new interface and knowing how much Adobe doesn't care about its user and feedback, the 2020 version is still available to download online. Uninstall the ****** version and install the old; works like a charm! 🥂

Very Fine, that we have possibility to disable the new version.
But will this feature keep being possible?
This new "All Tools" is taking space from the actual use of the program..
The Remember tool location is not working. for this new look.
so the tool bar is taking up space, when Acrobat is used inside SAP. So it's not possible to see the invoice...

This new UI is so bad it promotes looking for a different product. My partner raves about Blue Beam. Maybe I'll try that out.

this new UI is so frustrating. I can't even figure out how to put a date on a signed document! Why isn't that feature with the sign document tab?????? idiotic!
