  2. This app is ridiculously dumb and overly complicated. Look at the webapps on the internet. Do you even have designers? Although I understand, you are a very small company with no profits and composed of -5 employees.

    You have the worst UI for a company that focuses on "design" :> hilarious. your designers should try stand-up comedy.

  3. Not being able to move the side bar to the top is ridiculous. Just a terrible layout that is not productive. Good software is written to be highly customizable, not locking the user into what you think is best.

  4. The interface is way too cluttered. The top "toolbar" with "Home" and "Tools" and a feedback button is completely unnecessary. Stick those functions in the Mac Menu Bar and free up my screen real estate.

  5. Tabs have an empty area above them, meaning you can't take the mouse all the way to the top of the screen to quickly select a tab.

  6. I "critically" agree with some of the prior assessments I have read in the flow here. I think the comment from the user that "HATE"s the new interface is the best summary of the issue. While I doubt that the change was arbitrary, because companies rarely do things on a whim, I certainly don't agree with pushing a change for everyone. If the menu positioning is something people want flexibility with, then make this a user-controlled setting. Right now, flipping the prior configuration makes little sense, if only because the traditional layout has been the standard for a while and…

  7. Brief description of the use case:
    starting from Adobe Document cloud in a SharePoint online environment I click on the "Desktop" button to open a PDF file in Adobe Reader.
    A selection window appears where i can start Acrobat Reader or download & install the app.
    The download button is highlighted in blue, and encourages me to be the better choice.

    Error indication:
    The application is already installed by 100% of users. Due to a lack of permission on the desktop, Acrobat Reader cannot be downloaded and installed again.

    Feature request:
    - Is it possible to remove this selection window…

  8. Return back to prev search tools, especially new window with search results listed. And provide user choice tools on the toolbar across top.
    I spend so much more time trying to use newest ver. that I am looking for a better pdf reader solution...you screwed up the most useful tools.

  9. I feel like my hands are tied behind my back. I can't navigate the new design of the tool bar down the side. Let me have my tool bar back at the top

  10. The new larger sidebars make it so that when activated, you have to zoom out the document in order to view the fully width of page. If page view is set to automatic, it should automatically reduce the size of the page to accommodate the side bars.

  11. Pressing Cmd+Tilde (~) in Acrobat used to cycle between all active windows. A recent update changed that behaviour and it now stops after one window change. there is no easy way to flick back and forth between documents. This is different to how it works in other CC apps, eg, InDesign and Illustrator, so I can only assume this is a bug. I use Cmd+Tilde constantly. Please fix! Thanks!

  12. With last version (2024.002.20687 64bit) if I click on X to close document and Adobe Reader I have to wait about 3 seconds.
    This doesn't happen if I do it after 20 seconds from opening or if I open application without opening any documents.
    Please resolve in nex release thanks!

  13. The display mode buttons are awkward and unclear.
    The icons do not permit to foresee the visualisation behavior.
    The old buttons prior to this innovation were much more convenient.
    Adobe should offer the option of reverting back to the old display.

  14. Remove main/welcome screen, that lists lots of files, and gives sidebar and toolbar. I only want to view one document at a time, and do not want a previous-documents list.

  15. If you open a PDF which has clickable links to other pages in the document and then click on one of those links before the Free 7-day trial box has appeared in the bottom corner then the app crashes. If you want for the box to appear, or switch back to the old experience then it works fine.

    This is on the latest version of both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Windows 11 Enterprise.

  18. Now the new update makes Reader compact and the UI looks cool. But I feel bookmarking tabs could have been placed on the left side of the screen as it makes access to it much easier. The full-screen mode has also become better.

  19. The rubbish message bar that appears under the already wasteful 2 menu bars when there is a limitation or error CAN NOT BE CLOSED.

    This specific error bar can't be hidden by clicking the red cross, and I only have two options in the drop menu - both to enable javascript - that I DO NOT WANT.

    Per all my other comments adobe's hideous reader interface:
    a) LET ME GET RID OF THE MESSAGE, javascript on or off.
    b) STOP wasting screen space
    c) LE ME GET RID OF ALL THE CLUTTER YOU ADD TO THE PAGE. IT DOES NOT…

  20. Single Key Accelerator (U) selects "underline" tool. This is unexpected when the last tool used in this category (Underline, Highlight, Strikethrough) was "Highlight" AND the shift key was not pressed (i.e., Shift + U)).

    Expected behavior is to return to last tool used under Single Key Accelerator (U).
