Please allow for your new Acrobate to have the following layout.
I was able to figure out how to get back to the more natual and organic user interface by going Menu and then selecting "Disable New Acrobat" for anyone having issues with the bad UI.
Acrobat please ensure that users will have the ability to customize their ribbons to look like the image I have attached.
I need to be able to remove the floating tool bar like I have done in the attached image I like a clean document field without floating tool bars that I don't need there. Also please keep the menu ribbon on the top and customizable. If you are going to force us to have a floating tool bar at least let us remove what we don't need and orginize it the way we would like it to be. By forcing it to be the way you want it you are creating a pain of a program to work with. The old layout was way more intuitive this new one needs to be tossed and then make changes aligned with what your users need from the program and being able to customize your apperance is something that users need.

Hi, We appreciate the time and effort you took to leave us a remark since we're constantly searching for ways to make Acrobat better.
We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change, however we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you are able to be more productive & get more out of Acrobat.
We allow lot of customization in the app. For example - you can drag drop the tools in All tools left pane to reorder your tools. Similarly, the top left toolbar (Quick tools) can also be customized using Customization window that comes on clicking ... button at the bottom of the toolbar. We are in the process of adding more customizations in the app.
With the new release, the floating Quick tools bar on the left is now draggable. So, now you can bring it closer to your work space.
The navigation tools for PDFs have all been gathered and placed to the right. These tools were arranged specifically for each platform, whether desktop, mobile, tablet, or mobile, making sure that the tool layout remained intuitive, optimized, and purposeful regardless of where the user was on Acrobat. And like in old interface you can also use same keyboard shortcuts to zoom and navigate - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/keyboard-shortcuts.html
A point to note is that as we made these changes in the interface, we have ensured all tools & features that are currently supported, retain their familiar functionalities and workflows as they did in the previous version. We are proactively addressing any gaps or issues reported by users related to any break in current workflows.
We are also updated our helpx page that will assist you better - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html
Please stay tuned for more of our upcoming releases as we are constantly working on improving the new experience.

Thank you for at least adding the option to return to the previous interface.
I realize that old habits die hard and we've been using the "old" interface for quite some time. But the new version does not seem very intuitive, everything seems a lot smaller
The previous top ribbon was shoved down in the right corner, and on a large 4K monitor, was so small and easy to miss. Maybe there was a way to make that bigger that I didn't see?
Maybe allow the floating tool bar to be docked, like you can do in Photoshop and Illustrator so you can have it floating or not.
Agreed on being able to customize.
