usability
Dear Adobe,
I´m using Acrobat Reader on MacOS to comment students theses on a regular basis (2-5 times per week, roughly 6-12 hours working time). The last major update brought a terrible user interface. Usability has decreased massively.
Some thoughts:
1) I want to mark a passage of text. First I need to select the marking tool, sometimes by opening the submenu of marking tools. Then I mark the text and need to right click, open comment, and then the curser is not in the comment box to start writing my comment immediately. So at least 5 clicks for one comment!
2) The comments boxes (lots of them) overlaps with the text on the document, although there is some space on the left (all tools are shown). Why?
3) During commenting I need to switch regularly between line and text-marking tool. Again lots of clicks. Even then, sometimes I need to select the Mouse-Tool to click on the just drawn line, to open the comment button.
Please revise these comment features to make use easy as possible and minimize the number of mouse clicks. I´m considering to use another PDF tool, as Acrobat prevents efficient working.
Kind regards, Christian
