  1. If it ain't broke why "fix" it? The latest Adobe Acrobat is horrendous re: changes to the interface and functionality. Basic things like zoom function, where to access tools, or go to the next page have changed - why?! You're making people who have used Acrobat for years CHANGE the way they work, breaking workflow. It's slow to load and do most actions and hard to find things. I HATE it when Adobe moves things around like this. Please stop making arbitrary changes that break workflow for regular users.

  2. It would be nice if the tool bar in new adobe could be made horizontal or docked to the window above such that it does not cover the document when in a splitscreen view. It may be able to be done but I have not had success in the short time I have tried. Also, being able to have a pen to write/draw on a pdf would be nice, I feel I remember being able to do this in the past but have not been able to in a while.

  3. Provide an option to hide the floating toolbar. I constantly have to move it in order to view information on the page. Very frustrating.

  5. One moment, I was using Acrobat to review and edit page proofs for a medical journal I handle and the next moment all my customization was gone! No toolbars, nothing I need to do my job. All gone! Additionally, the new layout is HUGE and unwieldy. I want to be able to sort through several PDFs to compare pages and revisions. Now, I have one page taking up the middle of my screen and this giant blank workspace all around it. Where did everything go? Why did Adobe completely change everything after years of a familiar, but ever updating application?…

  6. The quick action floating toolbar cannot be moved or docked, which means it is constantly hovering over the document, covering the upper left corner of the document. There should be an option to move or dock this toolbar so that users can view their documents unobstructed.

  7. Hate the new layout and design, everything is now back to front and upside down in terms of trying to find things.

    Why could you not keep the same design and just upgrade the features.

    As the old saying goes don't fix what is not broken..........

    Hate the new design and to say it is meant to be user friendly is a joke.

  8. Wenn ich geschäftliche mehrer Seiten öffnen muss, um diese miteinander vergleichen zu können, werden mir in der Titelleiste nicht alle Dateien angezeigt. In dem neuen Design sogar noch wenigere als in der alten. Im neuen Design sind jetzt rechts die Pfeile und "Erstellen", sowie drei Punkte noch hinzugekommen. Ich sehe gerade mal 3 Dateien von 6 und muss ständig mit der Maus auf den Pfeilen von Dokument zu Dokument springen, damit ich alle Dokumente miteineinander vergleichen kann. Das ist absolut unterirdisch und mühsam. Nicht Benutzerfreundlich!

  9. I use dual 32" monitors for CAD. In version 2023-008-20470 this results is 8" of dead space on each side of a 8-1/2" x 11" PDF . While I like the smaller icons of the latest release, it is infuriating that I cannot place the toolbar, navigation pane, and page controls (Pg#, zoom, magnification, etc.) across the top where they would be most efficient to access in my situation. Their fixed positions on the sides of the screen might be acceptable to laptop users, but it is very inefficient on large monitors.

  10. Roll back your update and don't make us use this awful, unintuitive, garbage new user interface. It is horrible, you have done an awful job of soliciting average user feedback.

  11. I have recently received the latest update, and now when I use the up and down keys on my keyboard it moves the cursor through the text. It used to be that this would change the page. What is truly annoying is that if I am on page 10, but the curser is on page 1, when I press the down key, instead of going to page 11, it goes to page 1, because this is where my curser is. I have used the up and down keys for many years, and I can not seem to break the habit.…

  12. From initial versions of Adobe Reader, its search box behaves (in Windows) a different way than any other dialog box.
    When I try to select part of the searched text to change it, it lets me select it, and only when I release the mouse button, it selects everything.
    It is not possible to accustom it, because the whole Windows environment behaves different way.
    So it makes me angry every day for decades!
    I suppose there is not any settings or workaround for this problem, so this behavior should be changed.
    BTW, I do not understand why this was made…

  13. Offer a way to change the default viewing options. For example, if I open a PDF, I dont need the tool bars on the sides and some of the computer screens at work are already too **** small.

  14. I lost 2 days thinking I could put things back - 2 DAYS of WORK!!!!!!
    Adobe didn't even tell me they changed my program, the way it looked, operated etc! It took me an hour to find the phone number. Then to have me tell them RESET (which I don't remember where it was) was going to take me back to my app from before the update. SHAME ON ADOBE!!!! We have to get our work done over the weekend now. I want a REFUND and Acrobat should have had more insight on this before rolling the update out to…

  15. New Acrobat has at least 5 menu / tool locations that can not be hidden and panels that pop out.

    To call this messy, annoying and cluttering is an under statement.

    At least the top menu bar has been slimmed down compared to the prior version.

    The top window edge has enough space for all items.

    The bottom edge status bar can stay.

    ALL OTHER BARS SHOULD BE COMPELTELY UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE USER FOR CONTENT AND VISIBILITY - AT THE APPLICATION LEVEL, NOT PER DOCUMENT.

    Ideally, for my uses, Acrobat should open one windows PER document (another bug/omission,…

  17. Why is every Acrobat update slower and constantly throwing up ads and "features" bubbles like a 2006 website? I cringe having to open PDF's now. I hate what Adobe as a whole has become.

  18. The new update is just horrible. Mutch less userfriendly then the previous version. Would gladly go back to the old one. Please do a serious update to the new verison.
    The signing is almost impossible. Sometimes it workes and other times is does not. The 100 choices for the signing makes it confusing and hopless to use.
    The application hangs/freezes all the time.

    I would not recommend it to anyone after this update.

  20. The new update seems to be SO SLOW and crashed on me twice.
    I was unable to figure out how to employ the delete-an-item function in "Edit" (by dragging over a section and clicking delete) in the new format and switched back to the previous format to be able to do this. Super annoyed.
