I need to edit numerous files at a time, using specific tools. For each document that I access, I have to reselect the tool.

In InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, the tool selection is independent of the file. i.e. if I have the Type Tool selected in InDesign, and create a new document, it remains selected. If I open 50 files, the Type Tool remains selected until I change it to something else.

In Acrobat, the tools revert and do not stay selected, resulting in thousands of clicks a week, just to navigate to the tool I need to use on multiple documents. i.e. If I need to edit a text field, I open the files, then select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text, ad nauseam.

Acrobat used to behave like InDesign etc. the tool I choose should remain selected until I change it.
