(thinking…)

The new version stinks!

I'd like to revert to the previous version of Acrobat - the new version is NOT better - more confusing!

    Your new version is a POS.
    Your new version is a POS. Why do you guys come up with this ****? I can't find ANYTHING. The old version was fine. Please FIRE the lead developer of this new version.

    I have a lot more complains:
    1) Tools are now floating around, and no way to dock them to the toolbar where there's a lot of space
    2) No way to add other tools, like go to previous etc that were available in the previous version
    3) Bookmarks are well-hidden now, but I found them...on the other, right side of the app - the opposite of EVERY SINGLE OTHER APP on earth! Why in the **** do you make it counterintuitive and unusable??
    4) Even current version is so very well hidden it took me a while to find!
    5) No option to open each file in its own document
    6) Graphics is like from 1999. You think it's innovative? No - it's 4 steps back. Some of us still remember how ugly it was then, and it looks like a new cool? It's NOT.

    7) Your website sucks. I was able to find a "link" to download previous versions in the help section. Well, the only avaiable option is still this same horrendous version 2023.008.20470

    GIVE US BACK previous version!!

    Where we used to be able to add text on the fly, now it's required we go into edit mode. I have to select the colour I use all the time (blue) and there doesn't seem to be a way to save defaults. If the document is secured I'm not able to do this. Comment - Insert text doesn't work at all and fluctuates between a pointing hand and the text icon which is 75% of what I use Adobe for.
