  1. The newest version of acrobat reader does not show the full file name at the top, only on the tab. When you have multiple tabs you can't see the full file name of the tab you are currently on and I think that is a step down from the previous version.

  2. The new UI is not user friendly... it was supposed to improve the user experience, but you failed here. You have to go several layers of submenus to get a function that was previously available in one click... Thankfully you can disable the new acrobat to go back to the old UI, but this option will probably dissapear in time. So please check users' priorities before big changes.

  3. Why would you maximize all the slide outs and menus when you open a PDF? I open these to READ THEM! Instead I get an image the size of a Post-It note and every possible menu and slide out taking up 75% of the screen space.

    Please maximize the size of the PDF when you open it and have every menu and slide out closed. I open documents so I can read them 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time I can open a menu or slide out.

  4. Adobe Acrobat will not open if user is on Windows 11 Pro 24H2 and using the File Open security Client. File Open services must be stopped before acrobat will open at all.

  5. I have recently reinstalled Acrobat DC on my MacBook Pro, following printing problems. I now use version 24.1, updated through my Creative Cloud professional licence. By the way, my company does not permit using the Creative Cloud itself to store anything (we use Microsft O365...).
    The newer version is much faster and reliable than the previous Acrobat Pro DC I had (can't remember which version it was).
    But a new annoyance has come up : though I still have my favorite files on Acrobat DC's home screen ('starred files' list), I am no longer able to add a new file…

  6. On all previous versions, the full filename was visible in the header, including whether the doc was secured or not. Now it is truncated in a little tab. I need to be able to view the full filename at a glance, especially to quickly be able to see when documents are (SECURED), which is now hidden.

  8. Please bring back the scroll bars to Acrobat Pro (Mac 24.2.20759.0)! It is an extremely annoying bug that severely disrupts my workflow. In fact, I am forced to use a third party app to continue working with PDF documents.

  9. GUI asks me to sign in. I am routed automatically to a browser, I sign in, go back and GUI is unresponsive and only pings with every mouse click. Win10, latest version of Adobe Reader.

  11. I have been using Adobe Reader for a little while now as have many others and am curious if anyone at all ever asked for a new layout? I am very used to the locations on the old ones and now I have to wander around figuring out where any little thing is located and what the new silly little icons mean. This was force fed by an automatic update and it is awful. If its not broke.....

    1. Adobe Acrobat Pro. First, please give us the name of the program we are using, the app name, in the top banner that always stays in place. That way, as we change windows and screens, we know what program we are using. I use both Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Acrobat Reader, and sometimes at the same time.
    2. I'm not sure I like this new version that is coming. I'm trying it out and it doesn't seem intuitive.
    3. I prefer more English words, not less. So please don't replace English words with more icons/ symbols.
    4. Allow us to provide Feedback…

  12. The new "modern" interface just doesn't work for people like myself who use a lot of plugins and don't need Acrobat for commenting or e-signing. I work in a print shop and I'm constantly reviewing and editing customer files. I need to be able to easily see the page counts, scroll through documents, check page box sizes, etc... All of these changes have made that really difficult and it slows down our workflow drastically. I get wanting to clean things up and I remember that DC was a big shift from older versions like XI that could seem very cluttered.…

  13. Remove the 10 million billion trillion popups when initially running after downloading/signing up for a trial. Also, if you can't get the program to run at least as well as Microsoft word for editing a document... no one will.

  14. 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.

  15. The new look has moved everything around. It is also unintuitive and awkward, making it very difficult to find and use things I need to use frequently. There is also no option to resize panes (which the old interface had), and I can't move toolbars around or otherwise customize it to be closer to what I am familiar with. To use the new look I have to re-learn everything. In the past updates were done to provide improvements without making major changes to layout, why change something that was working well? It's OK to change things bit by bit. Users…

  16. The new version of Acrobat no longer cares about the "Remember current state of the Tools Pane" preference - Acrobat always opens with the "All Tools" shown. I believe I'm in a large pool of the population that will only ever read PDFs, so for all practical purposes, none of the items on the tools will ever be used. Please reinstate this feature.

  17. A bug report: the "reopen all tabs" function is now there but I think it is a cheap solution, please build it in the application instead of running some startup script with reopens all documents after a few seconds the application was reopened...

    It happened a lot to me after opening a document by double clicking on it, Acrobat opens, I press the print button. Then an error appears it could not finish a startup script (the script that reopens all my open tabs in the background) because the print dialogue is open... This can be seen as a bug…

  18. The new interface has no easy way to set up continuous scrolling and now way to install buttons for return to previous page or jump forward like the old one. And put the menu back at the top where it belongs and make it editable.
    This user interface is a disaster - how did you ***** up so badly.
    Can I install an old version?

  19. How have your conceptors come to think that this unremovable floating toolbar would be a good idea!?! I really don't find where it can be deactivated. All I find on the web is getting back to old version software... Really?
