Update for Adobe Reader worse
Recently a new update was done for Adobe Reader editing and annotating a PDF. For a number of reasons this has been made worse in terms of easy of use:
- Menu has now been put on the side instead of the top - interfering in the text of the PDF
- This function is used to mark exam scripts sent in by PDF
- The Check mark function used to work very well - not it does not work on many spots of the script - you now have to make a check mark in the wrong place and drag it.
- Also check mark sometimes stops working altogether - one has to go back to the menu to click on it again to get it working.
- All the above is true of the other options - cross mark etc.
- To annotate a script the text box used to work well - now sometimes it does not work consistently.
- I have no idea how an update, meant to improve the software can end up making worse?

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.
The toolbar on left is called Quick tools. With the new release, the floating Quick tools bar on the left is now draggable. So, now you can place it anywhere over your document view.
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.
