  1. I cannot use the new mode. I cannot find the updater. I had to reinstall Adobe Reader. The new mode is intolerably difficult to use and needs a rocket scientist to find anything.

  2. The new layout with for Adobe Pro with the tools on the left and the pages/bookmarks on the right is much harder to use. After so many years, why were they switched around? Please bring back the search field so that I can find tools. Everything I use is now hidden under layers of menus and really small icons.

  3. I need "take a snap" tool at an easy, immediate, accessible location. Not hidden in a search box!!! this is so annoying. In the old PDF, I can just place it in the custom tool bar. The new custom tool bar is very ****** too. I can't add anything useful at all. It is full of junk tools I can't even remove.

  5. There should be a way to move the tools back to the right, it adds time to my work to keep moving across the screen, why the change? Also what's with the floating tools bar that cannot be hidden or changed? I have no use for it and it's in the way

  6. The sidebar pops up EVERY time I try to do something and I can't see the file! WHY??? My job is infinitely harder because of this. I also can't use the Ctrl S function to save. This is literally maddening.

  7. Acrobat Pro does not always allow the text selection tool to actually select text (in OCR'd or otherwise readable text distilled from a Word doc or whatever). Quitting the app then restarting solves the problem, temporarily, but later the bug returns. There are threads about this on Reddit and other places. I am not able to produce a screenshot because I cannot capture a picture of Acrobat not allowing the selection tool to work.

  8. When opening previously created pdfs, getting the error message "Cannot find or create the font 'TimesNewRomanPSMT.' Some characters may not display or print correctly." Closing out of Adobe and re-opening brings back the hidden characters, but this should be fixed. Thanks!

  9. This is a bug, not an idea: since the latest update (acrobat Pro 2023.006.20320) there is no possibility to permanent show the page sizes in the lower left corner of an opened PDF file, although the corresponding checkbox is enabled in the preferences.

  11. 2/8/2024 running Windows 11 Home, for two days in a row, Acrobat won't open when I click on it. I have to reboot my Dell and it will work.

  12. I have updated to the current Acrobat version 2024.002.20759.

    Now when you close open documents, the dialog window that follows (save / don't save / cancel) doesn't get focus. I then always have to click into the dialog window instead of conveniently making the selection using the keyboard.

    I use Acrobat on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5

  13. Once again, even though with each update we users always come here to report that the option to keep the tool panel closed is not working, in the last update 2023.006.20320 it stopped working properly again. Is it so difficult to make an interface option work as the user wants? Why is there a 'Remember current state of Tools Pane' option if it is simply ignored and the panel continues to appear every time we open the application?

  14. In Preferences, I have the "Always show document page size" box checked. The page size information is no longer displayed at all. If I uncheck the above mentioned checkbox in the preferences, the document size appears normally when the curser is hovered in the lower left area of the window.

  15. The new user interface constantly freezes for several seconds every few seconds on my machine. While it's frozen, nothing works. I just have to wait a few seconds for it to become unfrozen. Then a second or two later, it freezes again. Sometimes I'm able to go a few seconds without it freezing -- to get work done. However, it doesn't last long.

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro v23.003.20284 on Windows 11 Pro v.10.0.22621 with a Dell XPS 17 9700. I have Display Fusion installed, so there could be some conflict there. I don't have this issue with any other…

  16. The new update is terrible for adding text fields to documents. When add text is selected, the edit mode is still on which greatly impedes functionality. It takes me 10x as long to add text to a document now, I want the old Adobe back.

  17. The +/create button on the Ribbon at the top of the page needs to have toggle to return the old + icon. When dragging a PDF from one screen to another the box get's in the way off the ribbon when trying to double click and expanding to the screen. There is a pop up that makes it hard to click on the ribbon again. I used to be able to drag and double click straight away to expand the program to fit the screen. Just an annoying change that didn't really need to happen.

  18. have a feature to close 'all tools' , 'edit' , 'convert' , 'E-sign' on second click if it is already active.

    it is a hassle to open the pane by clicking one button and closing using another (the X button)

    this works in the right side buttons for comments , bookmarks and pages.

  19. Feature Request: If there could be an extension setting added or some kind of browser variable to save the state of the extension with what the previous toggled mode or default mode was for Select/Pan tool for future tabs.

    Use Case: We have several employees who utilize Adobe Acrobat extension because they prefer the Adobe user interface in the Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser instead of having to open the standalone Acrobat app unless the certain functionality is needed. They regularly use the Pan tool over the Select tool and with the icons on the same menu slot it…
