1. Adobe, you've outdone yourself. Acrobat is now the biggest steaming pile of garbage you've ever come up with

   Not only is the website I'm physically on garbage, but whatever minion at Adobe thought that mirroring the interface in Adobe Acrobat was a good idea doesn't have half of their brain in their skull. A new intuitive design? When the majority of people who've been using your product for years now can't do half of the tasks it's taken them to do in a half hour now takes 2 hours and a number of crashes, can't really say this is an improvement. Quick tools? I can't remove the ones that are in the toolbar, and there's room for about 3 more. Not to mention that the list you show me of tools that are supposed to be available I can't even add - what's the point of showing them to me then? You want me to take an exceptional amount of time trying to do my job now? Thanks. I don't get paid back the time it's taking me to relearn your software. Total and epic failure in my book. Can anyone in this forum recommend something better than Adobe Acrobat? Something that is genuinely more intuitive and doesn't take me hours to figure out how to add a text box? Adobe - talk to your other divisions and make Acrobat more like InDesign. At least with that, the tools are predictable and I can actually lay **** out properly.

2. New Layout is Counterproductive

   New layout of Adobe Reader is utterly counterproductive, and makes everyday use of Adobe Reader much slower and confusing.
   I, as well as many other users I know, am using Bookmarks and Pages in at least 95% of times when I use Reader. Therefore, they should be placed on the left, where they are expected to be (it is simply a standard for similar "master-detail" situations).
   Also, primary tools, like paging, zoom-in and -out, are placed in a bottom-right corner, just like they were hiding?! But these are the basic tools, and they must be placed centrally, either on top or on the bottom of the screen.
   On the other hand, toolbar with tools for commenting, highlighting, etc. is placed on the left side, taking unproportionally too much space on the screen, while it should be placed where toolbars usually are. I'm using these tools practically in less than 1% of times, so their current position is just annoying.
   There must be corresponding options, allowing users to customize positions of these UI elements, so we can place them to best suit out everyday needs.

3. Comments

   The ability to view a summary of all comments while working in Adobe Document cloud. Also the ability/option to hide "resolved" comments. We can mark comments as resolved, but they stay in the list, making things very cluttered. If I could turn on an option that would automatically hide (but not delete) comments once I've marked them as resolved, that would help tremendously as we go through proofreading comments.

4. Cannot set select tool as default instead of hand tool

   I'm trying to make the select tool the default when Acrobat opens instead of the hand tool.

   I was running Acrobat DC fine with the select tool as the default on Windows 7. I just got a new computer with Windows 10 and now I'm having trouble. Same version of Acrobat, just a new operating system.

   I've tried almost everything mentioned in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2179758

   The one thing I couldn't try was the scrubbing tool, because I have Creative Cloud. I did uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. It didn't work. Then I tried the "Repair Installation" option in the Acrobat help menu. No effect.

   My new computer has touch capabilities and I read that disabling touch in Acrobat switches the default back to the select tool. I disabled touch, but it didn't change anything.

   I've also tried editing the registry through regedit.exe but it's already showing the select tool as the default. And yet, whenever I open Acrobat, it's still on the hand tool. I tried changing it to "hand", to no effect, and back again, to no effect. Am I missing something? Is there a solution to this?

   I spend my entire work day selecting text and images in pdfs. I've never had a use for the hand tool and being forced to have it as the default tool now is a painful and frustrating waste of time. The "make hand tool select text & images" option is useless, since I have to click several times just to select one word in the document. I need the select tool.

5. OCR -- Can't find. It has been hidden in your new online menu system, which as a rule I find very difficult to navigate.

   Pt it in a prime menu. Don't hide it.

6. hard to edit

   I am having a hard time editing my documents. I can't find tools. There is a "search for tools function" but it only searches the document and not for tools. Is there an easy way to go back to the earlier version as I'm finding this version very non functional. For instance, it keeps turning on a grid, which is irritating. One time, after about 15 min, I found a way to turn it off (using Google search!) but now I can't find it again. We should be able to search for a tool.

7. Worst version ever

   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.

8. 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!

9. Add/ allow user to resize/ change width

   Comment Pane: Add/ allow user to resize/ change width of Comment Pane. -

   *This is a f/u to previous posts (2021 and older) regarding the width of the Comment Pane.

   PLEASE add/ allow user to resize/ change the width of Comment Pane.

   Reason? Because each computer monitor, laptop, or tablet have different screen sizes; AND each user have varying degrees of space between actual monitor and eyes (think ergonomic devices, individuals with vision impairments.) Depending on these factors, the Comment Pane prevents the FULL VIEW of a document.

   Is this an issue that can be related to disability accessibility issues under Federal regulations? => Yes.

   Isn't it better to be able to hold the fridge door enough to see everything that's in it? Versus having to open and close the fridge door every time you want to check if you have a certain item?

   Have I tried adjusting monitor settings? Graphics settings? Browser zoom settings? Document properties? Adobe Acrobat properties? etc. => Yes.

   Do I have the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat PRO? => Yes.

   Have I looked in the Adobe forums? Reddit? Google? .edu sites? And asked my IT personnel and peers? => Yes.

   Thank you in advance!

10. Redesign the Idiotic UI design

    Adobe Photoshop has 70 tools. Acrobat has about half the number of tools as Photoshop. In Photoshop, a user doesn't have to load tools. All are accessible from the Tools panel and menu commands in the Windows menu. In Acrobat one has to load tools from the Load Tools Window. Also in Photoshop one can configure a personalized UI design and save the Workspace. In Acrobat one can spend a few hours configuring the Workspace (for example one designed for working on forms) then the user begins to work on other activities (say comment & review). To do so, the user has to delete tools from the original configuration and add tools to accommodate new tasks. Then change again to return to the original design. Have you moronic developers ever used the program you create??? Have you not experienced the eternal frustration struggling with your moronic UI design??? Don't you think users would benefit from having a Save workspace command? Stop this insanity and scrub the loading tools features. Add panels that the user opens from the Window menu and provide a Save Workspace command.

11. never offer summary

    There will be no time ever in which I will open a document in Acrobat Pro and want an AI summary rather than reading it. The entire point of opening is to read it, not your guess of what it says. I do not want this feature, I do not want it popping up and offering me ****** AI "tools" I don't need it and it slows me down to actually have to click past it to get my work done.

    Please disable all this AI slop by default.

13. Be able to show Rulers & Guides by default

    Right status is Implemented. Resolved is used when we resolve an issue with help, educating the user, providing workaround etc. Actual work from our side in this case – hence Implemented.

14. [Bug report] Comments auto scroll multiple windows

    When scrolling the pdf, the comment pane scrolls accordingly. This is expected behavior and a nice feature. However, when viewing multiple pdf files in separate windows, scrolling in one window will also scroll the comment pane of the other windows. This is not expected, scrolling in one window should not scroll the comment pane of other windows.

    Installed: Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (25.001.20435)
    OS: Windows 11

15. Highlight enhnancement

    I regularly highlight documents with numerous colors based on a key. It would be helpful if the comment pane showed the color of the highlight in lieu of the generic grayed out highlight icon. It would make perusing large documents with significant highlights easier to peruse.

    Thanks!

16. Hide Tabs Bar in Read mode

    It would be nice, if the TabStrip could be hidden in Reading mode to see more of the whole PDF file. Especially when im arranging/organising more than 2 PDFs on one screen, (for example 4 files on each corner of the screen)
    there would be significantly more reading Space on the screen without the 4 TabStrips. As a comparison possibility i have attached SumatraPDF, where you can see less waste of reading space.

17. New page layout format

    The latest page layout is so confusing. Why did you do this to us?! It's one thing to update looks and add/subtract features. But you swapped sides. Now all editing tools are on the left and navigation (bookmarks etc.) are on the right. Why do this? That just slows us down and confuses us when we are used to it being editing on the right and navigation on the left. There doesn't seem to be a purpose in swapping them except to torment us. Perhaps you can add a preference in settings where we can make the layout as we like it?

20. layout is TERRIBLE in the current version the UI couldn't be more difficult to use, little to no concern for rapid workflow or customer use

    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 focus and business. Acrobat pro is the complete opposite of that and the customer experience is atrocious.
