Adobe, you've outdone yourself. Acrobat is now the biggest steaming pile of garbage you've ever come up with
Not only is the website I'm physically on garbage, but whatever minion at Adobe thought that mirroring the interface in Adobe Acrobat was a good idea doesn't have half of their brain in their skull. A new intuitive design? When the majority of people who've been using your product for years now can't do half of the tasks it's taken them to do in a half hour now takes 2 hours and a number of crashes, can't really say this is an improvement. Quick tools? I can't remove the ones that are in the toolbar, and there's room for about 3 more. Not to mention that the list you show me of tools that are supposed to be available I can't even add - what's the point of showing them to me then? You want me to take an exceptional amount of time trying to do my job now? Thanks. I don't get paid back the time it's taking me to relearn your software. Total and epic failure in my book. Can anyone in this forum recommend something better than Adobe Acrobat? Something that is genuinely more intuitive and doesn't take me hours to figure out how to add a text box? Adobe - talk to your other divisions and make Acrobat more like InDesign. At least with that, the tools are predictable and I can actually lay **** out properly.

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.
The search field on top ("Find text or tools") allows you to not only search for content within the document but also find and access tools. For example, you can search for "Add text" and it will show you the option to add text.
We have also added the Quick tools bar on the left to provide easy access to tools. Additionally, you can add more tools by customizing it. For example, you can add "Add text" under edit to this toolbar. With next update we have made it draggable so that you can place it anywhere you want in the document view.
We recognize that the new Acrobat represents a significant shift, but we hope that as you become accustomed to the new interface, you will be able to use Acrobat more effectively and get more out of it. And, we are proactively addressing the performance/crash issues in upcoming releases.
Following up on this reply, we'll write a thorough blog post explaining the changes, provide you with a guide to help you get used to the new interface, and keep you updated on any further changes that might be coming. We are also updating our helpx page that will assist you better - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html
Once again, we appreciate your comments. Please stay tuned for more of our upcoming releases.
