  1. After I open a PDF in Acrobat Pro (most updated version) from Dropbox in the Finder, then close the file, it does not appear in my Recent Files list. If I open a PDF from my local machine it does appear, but I do all of my work in my Dropbox folder. A recent files list that does not show recent files is not useful at all.

    I tried adding Dropbox to the Other file storage list in the sidebar, but that just shows me the root of my Dropbox folder, not the recent files.

  2. The new version of Acrobat is the worst program I have ever seen in any category. I dont usually use vulgar language, but the long list of 4 letter words available would be the only way to fully describe the latest user interface. Everyone makes mistakes, but the entire team that is responsible for this product should be fired. All tools and details needed to navigate and manipulate a file were so easy prior to this useless version.

  3. The new "intuitive" layout is HORRIBLE. I do not understand what your motivation was for changing literally everything and moving things around to random locations. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  4. Add ability to hide all unnecessary buttons from the toolbar. If the window is reduced to the size of a DinA4 page almost the whole toolbar is used up by the start and all tools tab and the share and login button. This is a huge disruption to the workflow. I earlier versions this was not an issue with options like creating custom toolbars

  5. I'm really confused: every time I open a file Adobe Acrobat DC freezes for several seconds, as if it is trying to connect to the network before it can continue. This wastes a lot of time every time because it ends up freezing for 10 seconds or more. This situation is unacceptable. I bought the original product instead of using compatible shareware just to have the highest quality. I expect that when I upload a file, it will be available immediately.

  6. Too much time is wasted by doing the simple little things all around Acrobat Reader and I want to address as many of the concerns as I can in one post. Turns out I can fit everything

    1) Ability to lock anything on the page so it never gets moved unintentionally. To unlock it you could click a padlock in the corner, if it's right on top of another if you highlight the padlock for 3 seconds a small popup could show vertically what you have with a solid background with the padlock so you can see clearly what you…

  7. STOP REMOVING FUNCTIONALITY!!! I just want too use the legacy version of every app...the new updates are useless, controlling of my user experience to the extreme, buttons are obnoxious and harder to use, and, most importantly, I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING ANYMORE! The download button has zero functionality. Nothing opens, nothing downloads. I DO NOT WANT A CLOUD BASED EXPERIENCE! I PAY FOR THE APP TO BE ON MY HARD DRIVE, I WANT A FULL-FEATURED, UNDER-MY-CONTROL, ON-MY-HARD-DRIVE EXPERIENCE!!! This used to be the normal state of affairs. I now have to fill out a form in the could-based chrome window of…

  8. Not only is the website I'm physically on garbage, but whatever minion at Adobe thought that mirroring the interface in Adobe Acrobat was a good idea doesn't have half of their brain in their skull. A new intuitive design? When the majority of people who've been using your product for years now can't do half of the tasks it's taken them to do in a half hour now takes 2 hours and a number of crashes, can't really say this is an improvement. Quick tools? I can't remove the ones that are in the toolbar, and there's room for about…

  9. Modern Acrobat breaks keyboard sequences we're accustomed to use to navigate menus; for example, alt + V, P,P for double page view. There's not an apparent way to access this or other non-shortcutted functions from the keyboard now. (I do like the leaner view of new acrobat, but please improve keyboard accessibility.)

  10. It's so annoying to have to close the All Tools and Bookmarks panes every time I open a document. None of the settings seem to work. Why isn't there a default option to hide these panes?

  11. Why in the world did you have to change user interface so drastically? Icons moved left to right, top to bottom, etc. Who needs that? What is the purpose other than self-serving some psychopathic front-end software engineer? You seem to desire losing your loyal users - now I need to spend hours trying to figure out what is where and will be much less productive for the coming weeks. Shame on you!

  12. Remove all icons, share, feedback, tutorials, notifications and profile and settings on one side on the other Remove HOME - TOOLS and DOCUMENT.
    who in the H-ell was this idea, a person with a 2 mile monitor?
    if you leave Home-Tools and Document, then remove the hidden section on the right side, this has the same as those 3 options.
    here at work honestly, I hate to work with acrobat, at home I love working with Kofax.
    if you think you are the best, no, you are not. Acrobat was a lovely, professional program, now I hate it so much.

  13. Liebes Adobe-Team,

    ich möchte gerne eine Funktionserweiterung im Umgang mit PDF-Portfolios vorschlagen. Aktuell ist es nur möglich, in die Ordnerstruktur eines Portfolios hineinzugehen, jedoch fehlt die Möglichkeit, komfortabel wieder zurück oder zur vorherigen Ansicht zu navigieren. Ein "Zurück"- oder "Raus"-Button wäre hier sehr hilfreich, um die Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu verbessern und die Navigation in PDF-Portfolios effizienter zu gestalten.

    Vielen Dank für die großartige Software und die stetige Weiterentwicklung!

    Dear Adobe Team,

    I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for handling PDF portfolios. Currently, it is only possible to navigate into the folder structure of a portfolio, but there is no…

  14. Of the more than 30 "online" subscriptions our company pays monthly, Adobe is the only one that does not provide a monthly invoice to a email inbox. It has been widely accepted in the industry that monthly "subscriptions" are now the new norm for software. The VERY least a company can do is provide an invoice receipt to the user's inbox on a monthly basis. Not doing so creates an inconvenience and alienates your user base.

    PLEASE provide a monthly invioce copy sent directly to the user's preferred email address.

  16. Nearly each time I open adobe it pops up and reminds me I can edit PDFs
    I GOT IT
    I GET IT
    I JSUT WANT TO #$(!( READ MY GOD DAMMED ($!(! PDF .

    I miss the early 2000's when Adobe worked, was relaible ,and didn't constantly **** stuff around

    For example, I needed to redact a PDF, it only let me select text but the PDF was improperly created so the text colums were all over the place.
    All I needed to do was drop a simple redcatiion box, SIMPLE

  17. It makes no sense that customizing the tool bar is limited in that the default tools can't be deleted or even moved lower. Same goes for the side panel. Same goes for the navigation bar. Everyone uses the product differently, requiring/preferring widely varied views and tools. I don't see why adobe wouldn't provide full customization in order to better serve every user. Some of the default icons are ones I will absolutely never click on but I have no choice but to have and keep them in the prime and easiest to access locations on the page.

  18. Include documentation with the program. The Help interface only lists a link to the online documentation under "Visit Acrobat help online." This is useless for systems that do not have a network connection to the Internet. The program should include a local copy of the documentation that can be read offline.
