  1. This needs to be massively cleaned up. Tools don't work intuitively, workflow is choppy at best. Understand new functionality is being added, but, the smooth fit-for-purpose flow the older versions had where you can get in and out, get your job done is massively broken so badly that we all actively avoid using the tool as much as possible until we have absolutely no choice. It feels like it's trying to become a destination that sinks a massive amount of time. I want my tools to be quick, easy, efficient and get out of them and on with my core…

  2. When you have multiple tabs opened they consume all free space in the upper bar and you can't grab the window with mouse and drag it somewhere else on the screen.

  3. Seriously...in the middle of working I get slapped with a "new" look on my PDFs! ALL my customized toolbars are gone! No more controls at the top...they are magically and permanently moved to the right side...optional tools on the left.... nothing is where I WANT IT!!! JUST...WHY?!?!?!?!?! Why fix something that wasn't broken? Why not leave it up to the user to have more control of the interface? Why be like Microsoft? By the way, the "disable new acrobat" is useless and only wants me to restart the program only to have some pop up bar show up at the…

  4. I'm a big user of keyboard shortcuts, and I always end up customizing shortcuts in every app that I use frequently. The Adobe apps have always made this easy to do, EXCEPT in Acrobat. There is no option to customize at all. I have been learning about making and editing accessible documents, and I find it so irritating that I have to go into menus for frequently used commands that do not have a shortcut ("Find Tag from Selection" for example) . It disrupts the efficiency of the workflow. Please, please enable this feature in a future update!

  5. Change shortcut for zoom in zoom out to Strg+ and Strg-

    Please make an option to change the zoom in and zoom out back to normal.
    I still have no idea why you changed the shortcuts Strg+ and Strg-, that work in nearly every application that has a zoom function to Strg1 and Strg0. And why is there no option to change the shortcuts in acrobat?

  6. I have reverted to the original for now, but if forced to permanently switch to the new look, I will stop paying for it. Not sure how rearranging everything and hiding some tools is supposed to make thing more efficient. I don't think I have ever witnessed such a terrible "update" to any program ever. My idea is to fire whoever's idea it was to do the redesign.

  7. This is a bug, not a request - although I am indirectly asking for the search feature to be better.

    Your search feature just doesn't work. The attached is a great example.

  8. Why does anyone at Adobe think it's a good idea to move everything around and make it more difficult to keep workflow going? The new interface is not intuitive and causes me to spend way more time just trying to figure out where the tools went than it actually takes to do whatever I need to do. This is not good. In fact, I'd say I absolutely hate it. From the rest of the comments I see about the same thing, I would say I'm not alone in this!

    Why, Adobe? Just why!!!!!!!!!

  9. Your new "internet/mobile friendly" interface being forced on desktop users is bad customer service. It makes me seriously consider using/purchasing a competitor's product and never coming back to Adobe.

  10. I'm just going to stop using adobe. The new interface makes what I wan't to do impossible and frustrating. Go back to the older interface and check with your users before making untested and badly designed changes. Mac Preview for me from now.

  11. Just stop constantly redesigning everything to make work for your designers. You've switched everything from one side to another made things harder to find or have just made icons that no one knows what they mean. It just means everyone has to relearn the program every single time. All it does is waste time. Have you ever heard of the adage "If it ain't broke don't fix it"?

    STOP CHANGING EVERYTHING JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT!

  12. As user-based license do not allow sign in on more than 2 devices at once, user should be automatically sign out from one of the previous devices while signing in the new device. For user using different devices or VMs frequently due to business needs getting a prompt and then sign out from previous device is more draining as well as time consuming. While signing in on new device, if it signs out user from previous device which had the oldest last launched, then signing in new device will be smoother for user.

  13. On old Acrobat, when opening a document that claims compliance with PDF/A, a box would appear at the top of the program stating so along with an "Enable Editing" button. Although on a read-only document, I am unable to click Enable Editing; however, I could click the "I" information icon and have it dismissed. On New Acrobat, the same box appears with the same "Enable Editing" button and same "I" information icon, but clicking the "I" no longer does anything. Therefore on certain read-only documents, I am stuck with this blue box permanently at the top wasting screen real estate.

  14. New UI is not so user friendly. Please feedback to your development team that we hope to see the same good features from the old UI. For example, the Ctrl+5 shortcut icon is missing in new UI. We prefer just one click to toggle between thick and thin lines as in old UI.

  15. We enforce the use of Microsoft Purview Information Protection labels on all PDFs.
    It would be good to have a drop-down menu, much like you see on Microsoft Outlook emails to select a label, rather than requiring the user to open the Protect section and click 'Select a Microsoft Sensitivity Label'.
    This should be in the toolbar by default if MIP is being enforced by policy at the machine level.

  16. I have a 3-page PDF. I need to view pages 2 and 3 together on the same screen. It can't be done in Acrobat. I suspect this is a problem any time you need to have the even-numbered page on the left and the odd-numbered page on the right. Not to mention that even finding the page view settings is almost impossible with the current UI.

    Did you ever think that maybe you should run this stuff by a focus group before deciding it's a good idea?

  17. Request to move the toolbar back to the right side of the screen. It's disorienting to have it on the left after so long on working on documents with the prior orientation.

  18. Please bring back the open pdf's in new windows option. I use Alt-Tab to switch between documents. For some reason the development team didn't think that was important anymore and excluded this option in the new interface. Bring it back! stop taking away features.

  19. Acrobat keeps crashing when I try to disable the New Acrobat and I can't get anything done. The AI bar is annoying. Can't disable it either. Need a fix! I prefer the Classic since I use Enfocus Pitstop and can't even get them in a toolbar. Please fix this problem. It's a frustrating bug/glitch!
