2026 Update: Adobe, every iteration of Acrobat gets worse and worse
Offer two user interfaces for Adobe subscribers. One can be a simple interface for opening files, saving files, finding and using tools, all the important things for people who don't need all the ****.
The second user interface can be the crapware that has more garbage on it than functional features.
Who needs 60 Acrobat templates? That's what Word is for. The AI must be powered by Meta because its results are somewhere between illiterate, inaccurate or sixth grade.
I know, it's so important before the bubble explodes to have AI on everything from toilet paper to Acrobat's interface. But what percent of you paying users use it?
It's near impossible to open a file, even when it's on the home page recent list. First you have to check the box, then all that does is open a description of the file. ForGod's sake, do you think Acrobat users are so stupid that we can't figure out what's in a recent file from its name? Obviously the UX team does feel that way.
Bring back an option to use the Legacy function interface so users have a choice between functionality and crapware.
