1. Can't find anything

   The very definition of any update is to add features not move the existing features around so no one can find them. I use the comments tab to shade areas that need to be changed on CAD drawings a lot. I used to be able to select a wall and move it. Now I can't I have to search for rectangle when I need the comment feature so the menu pops up. There is no way to anchor the sub-menu on the tools where it used to be. There is no way to move all of the tools to the right side of the screen where it used to be. There is no selection arrow in the edit mode so you can't change existing text or move images. I can go on and on but I have already waisted 2+ hours of productivity trying to figure this out. Something that took less than a minute to do is now taking 30+++ minutes. I don't have time for this so I went back to the old version (v8.0) and turned off updates. I'll stick with this until you stop supporting this older version. Like it or not, Microsoft has established all of the conventions as far as the user interface. You should follow them rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

2. Zoom Percentage field/tool is missing from toolbar.

   In Acrobat DC, when viewing in untabbed mode, the part of the toolbar that shows the current zoom level and allows the user to type in the desired zoom percentage is missing. It appears on the floating/vanishing toolbar when page controls are moved out of toolbar, but not on the main toolbar.

   Please add this feature back to the toolbar. Using tabbed viewing is NOT a solution. This should have never been removed in the first place. Let me repeat, having to use tabbed viewing is NOT a solution.

3. 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

4. Issue splitting document by bookmarks

   Since the latest Adobe update, I haven't been able to split a PDF by bookmarks and have it save the file names as the bookmark names. I have an Imac with an Intel chip (bought it right before the switchover) and Big Sur. To reproduce, I go to tools, click organize pages, click split, click split by Top Level Bookmarks, click Output Options and select Use bookmark for filenames, then click OK. When I click OK, the Split menu underneath the split options menu disappears, so I can then click "Split" to execute the split. When I reopen the toplevel "Split" menu in the tools section, all options have been reset.

6. Undo

   How TF can you not allow undo ANYWHERE in ANY application! The year is 2020! Why are computers great? Many reasons. One of the biggest? UNDO.

   WHY CAN I NOT UNDO WHEN I MAKE A MISTAKE FILLING A DOC IN FILL + SIGN MODE, WHEN I'M THE CREATOR OF THE DOCUMENT?! Every time I try to use Adobe's half-assed software (Premiere [the worst of all], Audition, Acrobat), I want to pull my f&*%ing hair out because you fools either altogether left out a VERY common and important feature, or you included a broken version of it! And when I say broken, I mean BROKE. Ever tried to export multitrack audio, in sync with picture, from Premiere "Pro" to BASICALLY THE ONLY PRO AUDIO SOFTWARE USED IN POST SOUND–Pro Tools? IT'S A COTDARN TRAINWRECK. I'm glad I've been cracking your sheisty software for years (and now have free access through my employer) because I would never pay for this sorry excuse for "professional" software! Sometimes it's helpful. But only ever enough to be a free beta. Except you charge money for your betas, and seemingly the majority of what you output is effectively a beta. Shoooot, one might even say its a gamma.

   And the support! Had a tech remoting my machine trying to figure out why Premiere was sending horribly unreliable AAFs and OMFs to Pro Tools (using a purchased and up to date verison of Premiere and Pro Tools). Guess what? 1.5 hours of him clicking around and sounding like an idiot over the phone, and he simply says "this is a known issue" and ends the call. He clearly had never made a movie in his life and was clueless about the mechanics of any of it, so it was about impossible to even describe my issue in a way he could follow. Compound that with the fact that English is not his first language, and he could give 2 shots about my 1st world problems, and you've got a recipe for the worst possible support you can imagine, as evidenced by the 1.5 hour long, fruitless phone call + remote access.

   Oh, and fork your subscription model.

7. Irritating user interface

   What an irritating user interface seriously. I wonder if the interface designers ever work on their own product. No sense of where to place the tool and task bars. What is the ease of accessibility have you guys created?. Please change back to the previous version. This is the most nonthought of update.

8. Keep tool selected across files like all other creative apps

   I need to edit numerous files at a time, using specific tools. For each document that I access, I have to reselect the tool.

   In InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, the tool selection is independent of the file. i.e. if I have the Type Tool selected in InDesign, and create a new document, it remains selected. If I open 50 files, the Type Tool remains selected until I change it to something else.

   In Acrobat, the tools revert and do not stay selected, resulting in thousands of clicks a week, just to navigate to the tool I need to use on multiple documents. i.e. If I need to edit a text field, I open the files, then select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text. Go to the next document, select Edit, then select Text, ad nauseam.

   Acrobat used to behave like InDesign etc. the tool I choose should remain selected until I change it.

9. Image highlight (freehand) tool anywhere on page (including text)

   Image highlight (freehand) tool anywhere on page (including text)

   The image/freehand highlighter tool only appears when hovering the cursor over an image. However would be great to have the tool available over text or blank space on the pdf.

   Also the preview highlight thickness (before mouse button release) is not the same as the final highlight thickness (after mouse button release).

   For the text highlighter, it would be nice to be able to move the ends of the highlight by dragging (to highlight more or less text).

12. Crashes trying to bring panels to second monitor.

    Acrobat DC on an iMac with 4k retina display with a second monitor attached.
    When I try to bring a panel, such as the Pan & Zoom panel, onto the second monitor, first of all, it doesn't show up on the second panel. I moved it off the first monitor and the part that should show up on the 2nd monitor doesn't show up.

    When I move the pane fully onto the 2nd monitor, instantly Adobe Acrobat DC crashes.

13. keyboard shortcut crop

    Need a keyboard shortcut for IMAGE tools - i.e, once I select one or more images in "PDF EDIT" mode, I don't want to use the mouse to always go select the tool I need (for me, it's "Crop Image" that I am constantly clicking).

    Thank you for listening.

15. Create more screen space

    Would it be possible to move "tool bar icons" next to the "Home/Tools/tabs for each opened pdf"? It will help to recapture some screen space.

16. Horrible new layout

    One moment, I was using Acrobat to review and edit page proofs for a medical journal I handle and the next moment all my customization was gone! No toolbars, nothing I need to do my job. All gone! Additionally, the new layout is HUGE and unwieldy. I want to be able to sort through several PDFs to compare pages and revisions. Now, I have one page taking up the middle of my screen and this giant blank workspace all around it. Where did everything go? Why did Adobe completely change everything after years of a familiar, but ever updating application? Did some genius in Marketing determine it was looking "dated"? Who cares!!! Acrobat is the best tool for the job and anyone who is willing to spend the money to use Acrobat DC instead of the free reader wants this tool to work the way it always has every time the application is opened.

    Put it back! Put it back the way it was! NOW!

    As is, I now have to stop doing what I get paid to do so that I can figure out how this new version works and struggle to restore some of the tool settings I AM DEPENDENT ON to do my job. Thanks Adobe! You really screwed things up.

17. Remove Get Started Box (Not Pop-Up)

    I recently installed Adobe Acrobat and found a small, persistent box that lives in the bottom-left corner of the application window. It's labeled "Get Started" and indicates it is a 5 step process. This is not a pop-up, or a separate window, or something that comes and goes. It's a permanent box affixed to the bottom-left (e.g., underneath the list of Tools if Tools is being viewed in the left-hand panel).

    I completed all of the steps except the last one, which involves getting Acrobat on your mobile device. Long story short, I could not complete this step. But there is no way to hide, close, or otherwise remove this box.

    I found that by disabling "New Acrobat" and then re-enabling it, the box went away. I'm happy that it's gone, but it shouldn't have required the level of effort it took to figure out this solution. I'm hoping Adobe will simply add an 'X' to this box so you can close it if you want.

18. remove "Try Acrobat PC Pro" button

    Please please give us an option to remove the terrible "Try Acrobat PC Pro" blue button in the tabs bar. There is already more than enough ads for it everywhere: in the tools sidebar on the right, on the home screen, etc.

    This button is taking up so much space that could be used to show more tabs! I'm so used to using Adobe and I like it but I think I will switch to another reader if this button is not removed. I even tried installing an older version of acrobat (which was a pain just to find it) and had to reset all of my settings. For a while the button was gone but now it's back. I don't know if it's due to it auto-updating but this is infuriating.

20. The Swedish UX texts for accessibility tools in new interface are very confusing and inconsistent..

    I do tutorials and online courses, about accessibility among other things.
    I noted that the new interface has really confusing UX in Swedish.

    Very confusing terms have been chosen, compared to the old interface, and this causes real problems for learners.
