New UI is unintuitive and difficult to use
- It is extremely hard to find things. Just as an example, I struggled with as simple a task as printing. It is not at all obvious to find the print button. No other application I use makes this as difficult as your new UI.
- This may either be another example of point 1, or the function is missing. Where is the button to display info about the application? The "About Acrobat" button? I can't find it.
- The application wastes massive amounts of my screen space. Stick to the purpose of the application and just display the document. I don't need file management, that's already provided by the OS, and in a much better way.
Acrobat used to be a slick program, and I enjoyed using it to view documents. Now it is a bloated nightmare, and I dread having to use it.

Hi @Joachim Achtzehnter
We appreciate your valuable feedback!
Going through your comment, it seems you have discoverability issues with New UI of Acrobat
* You can find the Print button on the top right corner on opening a PDF <screenshot attached>
* You can find "About Adobe Acrobat Pro" option under Hamburger(3 lines on top left)>Help <screenshot attached>We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change, however we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you can be more productive & get more out of Acrobat.
We will follow up on this response with a detailed blog post explaining the changes, a guide to help familiarize you to the new interface, along with regular updates on upcoming changes.
Thank you once again for your feedback, and do look forward to our upcoming releases

You might find the following report useful. It includes a way to switch back to the old interface.
