Page organization functionality has been lost in new update
The new pages organization tool is more difficult and less intuitive, and its “insert page” option in particular is much less useful than it used to be, please fix it.
The most important problem is with the "insert page" function alone. When you select "file" for "insert page" it no longer lets you add more than one file at once. I frequently use Acrobat to merge several PDFs into one PDF and now I have to add each file one by one, this is incredibly time consuming, tedious, and wholly unnecessary.
Another problem I have with the new method is the size of the page organization tool—I can only organize pages in the left sidebar now, when before it let you see it in the main screen, which allowed for a larger view and to see the pages in grid order, instead of just in a tight row. This is frustrating as it makes it harder to visualize my document as a whole while I am trying to re-arrange it as a whole.
Lastly is a more minor issue. The first problem I encountered with it was the icon. In general, the icons for the new user interface are mostly too small and many are unclear. Further, they don't tell you what they do if you hover over them, you have to actually click the symbol to be given any description/text options. The icons in the toolbar aren't all bad, but it is very hard to find how to add, delete, or move pages. Not only is that icon in a confusing place all on its own, the little four grid square symbol does not intuitively represent that function. In fact, it is confusingly the same symbol used for switching between list or grid view on the open recents menu. So, when I fist saw it, I naturally thought it was just an option to view the PDF in a side-by-side grid view instead of just a single-row scroll. Please make an icon that actually makes sense.

Hello Brianne,
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Please find below my responses.
1. You can insert multiple files in New view as well. From Left sidebar if you click on "Insert -> From File" option, you can select multiple files. Please check the attached screenshot. Please let us know if it is not working for you.
2. Regarding the size of organisation tool, currently it is the paradigm followed for all the apps that they will appear in left bar. We will share this feedback with engineering team.
3. For some of the page icons we are planning to add labels. You will be able to find them in future builds.
4. Can you please share the screenshot of four grid square symbol you are referring to ??Thanks,
Gaurav Sharma
