1. Not all changes make a product better

   I shake my head every time a software company changes its look or its lay-out just for the sake of change. If it's not broke, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

   This week has been taxing because a good majority of my work deals with Adobe Pro documents. My muscle memory is completely off because y'all decided to flip the layout to opposite sides of the screen. I have to squint every time I'm looking for the print button. It's just like when Samsung decided to change sides for the volume and power buttons. Why?

   Where is my "Save As" icon?!? I shouldn't have to click on "File" to get to "Save As".

   I want my page selection and Zoom features back at the top where I need them, not stuck at the bottom right; again, squinting to see them.

   Change colors, change fonts, but STOP changing layouts.

2. Bad design

   You have to ask, Who is in charge?!
   Why does Adobe try their utmost to make their programmes so counter intuitive. Global industry standard since day one has been basic commands in the top LH corner. Not now, this backward programme stuffs them elsewhere, or completely hides/removes them.

3. Scrap the new interface!

   Worst interface change ever! I am in the print graphics industry and I rely heavily on the ability to view my PDF page sizes. Removing the page scaling size from the toolbar along with a place to shortcut my most used tools was a slap in the face to your core user base.

   Leave those features alone!

4. ditch the 2023 interface

   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.

5. The new UI is no good at all.

   I have used Acrobat for many, many years and this update to the UI is very frustrating. I don't really know why it is confusing, but it is. I don't see why the Tools needed to be grouped into tiny icons in a constant, annoying side-bar, they were much easier to pick and use (especially for newbies who I may teach to use the software in our office) when they were on their own tab, with the smaller handy icons on the right being useful once you understood each tool. It was what made Acrobat the preferred software against other PDF software.

   I use the Measuring Tool a lot. Before there were 3 simple icons added along the top bar (same as most tools), but now I have a large, unnecessary window pane all the way down the left side of the page which is very annoying. I mark up Architectural Designs and now I have an ugly side bar taking up valuable Monitor space, which means my pdf and mark up area is smaller to work with.

   Commenting using shapes, lines, arrows and callouts was neat and tidy before, with all tools clearly shown along the top bar and very easy to find, now they are in drop downs at the left and I am still struggling to find the square, circle and arrow tools, with an extra click to get to each one! I had a colleague give up the other day when I asked him to mark up a PDF for me because he doesn't use the software every day and was really struggling to find the right tools.

   Please, for the love of god, switch it back to the old UI. The simple User Interface is what made Acrobat the best PDF software out there! You had nailed it, and now you've just gone backwards.

   In my attachments, why would you feel the need to put the green marked toolsets along the top which are very clear and easy to access, into a large unnecessary pane on the left with awkward drop downs? It makes no sense to me.

   ALSO, why would you make it harder to find the page scrolling tools? Now down in the bottom right and trying to find "Fit One Full Page" yesterday was driving me crazy.

   Sort it out Adobe, really disappointing updates. Don't try and fix what isn't broken!

6. Thumbs down to the new interface

   I'm sure the new features are very powerful and an improvement over the previous version; however, swapping the entire interface from left to right feels like an affectation by the visual design team. For one thing, moving the save, print, etc., functions from the left side of the window to the right means that now Adobe is backwards from every other design or word processing program out there. Yes, Google did this as well and I still hate it, so no points to you for trying to copy them. Having the tools on the right side was consistent with your other programs like Photoshop - I haven't opened photoshop recently so I don't know if that has changed also. Either way, it's distracting to have the tools feel like they're in the primary position on the left side of the window rather than having the document be the priority. I do like the new signature tool, allowing me to sign documents in fewer steps. But it should be on the right side! Having the floating toolbar hoover over the left side of the document also feels strange, as once again the left side of the document will always be more text heavy as we are a left-to-right culture, whereas the right side of the document often has more negative space. Just my initial thoughts on the new interface. Not a fan.

7. Help your users transition to the new look

   The abruptness of this change felt like a slap to the face. I'm sure all the features I use are there . . . somewhere. Why don't you consider helping your users like the new look by using the usage data you're surely collecting to provide users a custom walkthrough of: here's this feature you frequently used, here's that feature you frequently used, oh and did you know you can customize placement of this thing and that. Oh and try this keyboard shortcut for this other thing it looks like you frequently do.

8. open new window

   Hello Adobe support,

   I cannot find the setting to deactivate "open documents as a new tabs in the same window" (I want a new window for each!) under [preferences > General > Basic Tools] anymore since the latest update. Please can you let me know where I can turn this off? I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader MUI (23.003.20244).

   Thank you and regards,
   Patrick

9. I cannot use the new mode. Need the traditional mode.

   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.

12. Allow fillable forms to be marked as a "template".

    Request:
    A Microsoft Word document can be either a .docx or .dotx, the difference is that when saving the .docx, the file is overwritten; when saving the .dotx, a new file is created. I propose a similar feature for PDFs.

    Use Case:
    I've created a fillable PDF and saved it as a PDF to a network share and SharePoint. People have the tendency to open it, fill it out (as they should) and then click save (or Ctrl-S, muscle memory). That commits those filled form fields to the file system such that the next person who opens the file now sees a filled-out form.

    I would like to do something to the file so that "Save" doesn't work. For example, if the file extension were .pdft, and I opened it, it could behave the same as any other .pdf. However, when I chose to save the file, a compliant program would recognize that the preference is to create a new file, not overwrite the existing file.

    Context:
    I propose a file extension change instead of metadata in the file because it is much easier, and doesn't require the PDF standards consortium to get involved. A non-compliant program would just overwrite the file as usual. This means that any PDF program could open a .pdft file simply by, in Windows, right-click, open with, and choosing whatever program; they would see no functional difference. However, a compliant program would make the default save operation require a new file name.

    Such a convention would also be very easy for PDF tools made by other companies to implement more quickly promoting this convention.

    This has been asked of the Adobe Community before: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/can-i-create-a-pdf-quot-template-quot-akin-to-word-s-template-dotx-function/m-p/10485536

16. Bug Report - Acrobat Pro DC hangs on external Javascript editor

    I’m trying to edit Javascript in an external editor. This has worked for years until just now. I’ve tried Brackets and TextWrangler with the same failure. Acrobat launches the external editor, and waits until the editor process is no longer running. This means that you actually have to quit the editor after saving the document in order to make Acrobat respond to your input again. This is fine, it has always worked in the past. But now when I quit the external editor, Acrobat remains unresponsive because it's waiting for the external editor to close, even though it’s already closed.

17. Comments shall not get auto-locked

    I am working with Linde Engineering India (Linde AG) as Engineering consultant. Our daily routine job is to review various suppliers' documentation to meet the client requirement. Supplier submits the document which we review in .pdf using commenting tool. Previously we were using Acrobat 9 for this in Windows7. Now we are using Windows 10 for last more than 1 year and in that, we are only allowed to use Acrobat standard DC Version 2015.006.30033. In this Adobe Acrobat version, we are not able to edit the comments made by our peers / sub-ordinates before sending it back to Supplier easily. For this, we need to unlock each and every comments everytime for editing as well as for moving it to proper place on the document so that the information behind the comment block can be read by the next reviewer clearly. This is consuming a *** lot of time of us which is tedious and not desirable in this digitalized world. We shall have flexibility for the same so that we can work easily. For example, if I have received one supplier document which I have to send it to 3 other engineers for their review. When first reviewer comments, he himself can not edit the comments after some time of commenting or after saving the document some time. Secondly, the second/third reviewer also can not review the complete document as the previous reviewer's comments were locked and not movable so that the information beneath/behind the comment box can not be reviewed. Finally, when that document comes to me after completing the review cycle, my task is to consolidate the comments, arrange the comments and place it appropriately, and rephrase the comments clearly so that Supplier can understand the query/intension of those comments to move faster and resolve the issues. For doing so, I have to unlock each and every comment box every time (our one document can have more that hundreds or some times thousands of the comments). Now, please imagine the amount of work increased at our end. We are very tight with the schedule and we can not used Adobe. We need immediate attention and support from Adobe/Acrobat so that we can use this tool without above explained problem. Your positive and urgent/timely response will be highly appreciated. ALSO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED PLUG_IN OR UPDATE to be run in the same version of pdf which is referred in this description above.

18. stop "Recent" screen on opening DC and constantly opening

    Please Please stop the "Recent" screen opening, just put it back to where it was.

    The checkbox that was in Preferences - Catalogue, no longer exists, for windows, (yet it does for Mac)

    Thi sseems also tied into the chssck box to "stop" files opening as you are converting various files into one PDF, as as DC opens the individual files its stops the conversion process with the error "cannot continue as the xxxx file is open" i get round by being ready to close the file as it opens, but this is represents several steps backwards.

19. Provide a way to remove/move Request for signatures button in Office Home ribbon

    In a recent update, Adobe Acrobat added 2 buttons in Microsoft Office applications to "Request for Signatures" and "Create and Share Adobe PDF".

    This integration doesn't appear in the Ribbon or in the Add-ins list, so currently there is NO way to remove/move those buttons. It is a significant problem when you work with documents side by side or in lower resolution displays because they take too much space in the ribbon and force other more important buttons/groups to collapse/hide.
