Supposedly, I have Acrobat Reader installed - I honestly can't even tell. That's what the menu has anyway, "About Acrobat Reader". Everywhere else it's just "Adobe Acrobat". I clicked on Share feedback, it took me to this page - "Acrobat for Windows and Mac". But in that long list on the left, there's a separate link/section "Acrobat Reader for Windows and Mac". Like I said, I can't even tell this much, not with any certainty. And then, supposedly, it's "DC", the version that came after 11 (or was it XI?), but then the About section only says 2025.001.21151. I can't even.

On to Preferences, my main grudge. It's an INSANE amount of settings. And the list of pages can be scrolled easily, even with a touchpad. But then select General, and the page suddenly grows, in a way that cuts off the bottom part, and the scroll bar is now on the right edge of the window, to support THAT insane long list of general settings... and it doesn't even work, unless actually operated with the cursor, and even then it's "move the scrollbar first, the list will jump to the new position upon release", not a continuously scrolling list as one would expect. No wheel/gesture scrolling anymore at all. And during this all, the OK and Cancel buttons are stuck at the very bottom, not visible unless we actually scroll to the bottom. Which only works in that insanely-stuck-in-the-past way as described above. Security - the same, grows the window compared to many others, and then still leaves the OK/Cancel buttons cut off at the end. I can't even.

I wish Acrobat Reader, ACTUAL Acrobat Reader still actually existed. That's all I need: a simple PDF reader. Access to cloud storages might be nice, but everything else is completely superfluous. I don't need measuring and forms and signatures and commenting and spellchecking and RSS(??) and ADS and plugs everywhere for paywalled features, I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT NEED OR WANT AI IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

I just do wish THE supplier of the PDF format had a simple, no-nonsense READER app, like it used to. I don't need a funky, bloated, performance hog of a UI - but I do wish the app had a modern, actually sensible, consistent UI throughout. Instead of a mess of an unprofessional mix of parts that look like they belong in the 2020s and others that look AND FEEL like they're stuck on Win95. With all the money the company has the gall to ask, and thus makes, it's ludicruous what an absolute mess this supposedly simplest piece of software is. It's ludicruous to think that any number of people work on it and think this is fine, the way this is is fine. It's ludicruous to think how many layers of approval it must go through, and nobody raises an eyebrow at any part of it.
