  1. Hello
    The UI has just been updated under Windows (2024-01-18), which I like so far.
    But what has remained the same is the settings window.
    I have now counted over 320 (!!!) individual setting options in all categories.
    What do you think, does this contribute to user-friendliness?
    I think certainly not.
    The other day I finally dug through all the options to see what else would make sense to set.
    I was extremely busy for many hours.
    And I think a lot of things could be simplified and left out or implemented in a more user-friendly way.
    Or perhaps an…

  4. I HATE this new acrobat!!! It is not user friendly at all. I just want my editing tools to be visible and the other things hidden unless I need them. I will continue to actively find ways to disable this new view. It is aparant that the engineers who decided on this new view do not actually use the edit tools very often. As an educator, I use them ALL THE TIME!!!
    GRRRRRRRR....

  5. On new Adobe, when I adjust the size of the thumbnail view, it now makes the thumbnail really big without also letting me adjust how many thumbnails are displayed per row. I want to be able to see 2 or 3 rows of thumbnails at a time but I have to make the thumbnails pane really big and increase the thumbnail size a lot before that kicks in. And there's way too much wasted white space between the thumbnails as well. Please bring back the ability to see multiple rows of thumbnails or make it a separate function than the…

  7. In Adobe Acrobat Pro original UI Plugins are placed at the top making it easy to access. In the new UI released a couple of weeks ago, Plugins are buried in the settings menu making them very cumbersome to use. Please move the Plugins back to the top bar.

  9. When i open a PDF file that contains layers (most of our generated drawings) the 'Layers' side panel always opens, this is not required and I have to manually close the side panel every time, please add an option to stop side panels or tool panels from opening automatically.

  10. This is in regard to the new look of Adobe Acrobat. I changed my view back to the older version. My suggestion is to leave the toolbar and include a popup tip that tells how to turn it off. I spent an hour trying to find the toolbar, how to turn it on. I tried customize, several different options. I tried using AI and it said there was no option to do that. Thank you for the opportunity to interact
    When I googled the question, there appeared to be many other users with the same challenge

  12. This is a bug. The color selector under book mark properties is truncated.

    1. Open multiple page pdf.
    2. Create a bookmark.
    3. Right click on the bookmark name to open the context menu and select properties.
    4. Click on the color to change it.

    Results: The color selector box is truncated on Windows 11, Acrobat v. 2024.002.20687 64-bit (Geez, why does the version disappear when I click outside of the app!) If you open the Edit tool and click on to change the color of a font the selector has more choices.

    Expected: All the colors please!

  13. The user interface for Adobe Acrobat is not intuitive, and the font is so tiny that it's difficult to read I want to switch it back to my original configuration and it won't allow me to do this. I hate it with a passion. I don't have time to fiddle around to try and figure out all this new stuff when it was fine before. It does not look slicker, and the toolbars are in the way when I am doing zoom, which is why I don't like it this way!

  14. I have had Adobe Acrobat Pro for years and have just changed to Adobe Acrobat Pro within Creative Cloud.

    I am thoroughly frustrated with the screen layout.

    There is a toolbar OVER the top of the document area. There is a huge blank space at the top of the page that COULD be used to show menu items such as Search - but it is just a big blank. Ditto the right hand side of the screen.

    Overall, far too much screen space has been wasted. Menus "hidden" by having to select various tabs. This has NOT been designed with…

  15. The quick tool icons were changed after Acrobat X during the overhaul of Acrobat's UI to DC and beyond. One of them was to make the tools in the quick access all GRAY, and eliminate their COLOR unil the pointer hovers over it.

    This was a terrible decision and backwards step from a usability standpoint. Humans interact in their environment by perceiving things in color, lots of colors, and rely on color to understand and navigate the world. While shape outlines are one point of information to understand what a thing is, color adds considerable information to that mental processing…

  16. Adobe makes the top bar with 'File Edit, View, E-Sign, Window, Help disappear.
    I have to keep hitting F9 to make it return. Please stop it. I want those choices to stay put on the screen. When the bar disappears, I can't move the window to a new location on the desktop. Hitting F9 is constantly a burden while having Adobe open, and it does not always work consistently.

  17. The latest update no longer shows both the page label (book page number) and physical page number, only the physical page number. Can you please change this back to the way it was before? I work in book publishing, and now it's difficult to see which page of the book I'm viewing.

  19. The new layout is not good for many of my routine tasks and is creating all kinds of trouble for me. I need to be able to hide toolbars in some cases and put toolbars at the top in others. This would allow me to maximize the size of the document on a vertical monitor when needed. Honestly, did you guys get any voice of the customer before making these changes?
