1. Bring back the functionality and layout of Acrobat 9 Pro

   Acrobat DC is an absolute PITA to use. It has no UX continuity with the rest of the CC suite, the tools are allocated to the vaguest of places and the basic functionality that is regularly used, Marquee Zoom Tool especially, are relegated to the top menu when they should be in the header with the page controls. These are tools that are regularly used, unlike the '-' and '+' buttons and search tool that are in clear view.

   It's a pointless, redundant redesign that causes more problems and waste of time than it actually serves. Bring back the layout of 9.

2. Stop the Annoying AI Popups – A User’s Frustration

   As part of my daily workflow, I spend hours reviewing technical drawings in PDF format. These documents require my full attention and careful analysis, so any interruption is extremely disruptive. Unfortunately, the constant popups from this program, insisting that I “summarize your PDF using AI,” have become a major annoyance.

   I want to make it very clear: I do not intend to use AI for my work. My company’s policy strictly forbids it, and I value maintaining compliance and confidentiality. Despite this, the software repeatedly interrupts my workflow with suggestions that are not only irrelevant but also intrusive. Each popup breaks my concentration, slows down my productivity, and makes an already meticulous task even more frustrating.

   I sometimes regret having downloaded this program. What should have been a helpful tool for viewing and managing technical PDFs has turned into a source of constant irritation. I’ve started exploring alternatives that respect my workflow, don’t force AI suggestions, fun games, and allow me to focus on the task at hand without unnecessary distractions.

   Overall, while the software may be suitable for casual users or those looking for AI-assisted features, it is completely unsuitable for professionals like me who require a distraction-free environment. I sincerely hope the developers offer an option to disable these popups in future updates—or I will have no choice but to switch to a more user-friendly solution.

3. OCR Messing up highlight and free form tool.

   Behavior is on Windows 7 | Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.23

   When running OCR (English and Italian) previous drawing markups (Free Form Tool) and highlights are corrupted. Free forms were rotated 90 degrees and translated, while highlights were moved up about 2.5 lines. I attached a word document with screenshots of the behavior. This behavior messed up highlighting work by a professor at Indiana University.

6. Form Editing Distribute Tool Mislabeled

   The distribute tool buttons that are available when editing forms appear to be mislabeled compared to other programs like Illustrator and InDesign. The button that has the symbol to distribute horizontally distributed selected form elements vertically. The tool tip also seems to be mislabeled.

   I'm using the Windows version of CC by the way. I've compared to the other programs that have align/distribute features and believe

7. Vanishing Adobe Pages

   It's absurd when you working on a form and have to look up information to complete the form and then the form disappears. I realize Safari is a joke and the "built in" that drive you towards one of "their " products. But I am paying a monthly fee for playing hide and seek with documents?

8. PDF recovery tool

   Build and make available a PDF recovery tool for your paying licensed users. From time to time a PDF will corrupt and will not open. Often a ton of work has gone into assembling/noting/creating that file. There are options on the web that are "pay for recovery". However, I do not want to put sensitive corporate data into some site on the web to "try" and recover it. Nor am I interested in purchasing a recovery software from an unknown vendor that again "may" recover the file. I don't know what else that app is doing with the data in my file.

   It would be preferable to have a built in tool within Adobe Acrobat Pro (maybe others) that would allow us to recover from the safety of our infrastructure and know our data is staying put. Plus it's the right thing to do and would make your user base very grateful.

   Thanks for listening!

10. Combining multiple PDF's in to one Document. NOT WORKING.

    Using Acrobat PRO DC 19.008.20074
    When I open Adobe, Combine files, add the files I want to combine, either PDF or other word, excel, etc, click on Combine. What I end up with is a "PORTFOLIO". The thumbnails are all visible on the navigation pane but the actual PDF that was supposed to contain all the pages I just combined, there is only the first page, no other pages. I create Board packets with this feature. It has become a big headache. How do I get this to work.

11. Allow us to decline installation of Microsoft 365 plugins

    Every time Acrobat updates in the background, it inserts its buttons on my Word ribbon. I can hide this section or disable the plugin, but these changes are erased with the next update. At times, the plugins also break Outlook. I don't want or need them. Can I opt out?

12. Print Current View

    Either allow print settings to be included in the Quick Tools at the top, or move "Print Current View" as a choice under Pages to Print without having to go to More Options first. I spend a lot of time printing details from PDFs and it takes three extra steps, each time. Also, Print Current View doesn't quite match with the display on the print settings.

13. Drawing markup has become unnecessarily difficult

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat Pro to review and mark up engineering drawings, and I wanted to share my experience with the latest release.

    Today I needed to perform a very simple task: add a double-ended dimension arrow and a text label to a PDF drawing. What should have taken around two minutes instead took well over half an hour.

    The main issue was not a lack of functionality, but that the functionality was extremely difficult to discover.

    The ⋯ button on the toolbar opens Customize Toolbar, which naturally led me to believe that this was where I needed to add the drawing tools. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to understand why I could see tools such as Line, Arrow and Rectangle in the customization dialog, but could not add them to the toolbar because the Add button was disabled. It was completely unclear that these tools already existed elsewhere.

    Eventually I discovered that the drawing tools are hidden behind a tool called Draw, which I only found by using the search box. This wasn't obvious from the interface, and I don't think many users would intuitively think to search for "Draw" simply to find basic markup tools.

    Once I had found the drawing tools, I was able to create an arrow, but even then the workflow was confusing. It wasn't immediately obvious that a double-ended arrow is created by changing the Start and End properties separately. The terminology (Open, Closed, Reverse, Butt, Slash, etc.) is not self-explanatory for users who simply want an arrow at each end.

    Adding text was equally frustrating. I found multiple text tools with similar names—Add Text Comment, Text Callout, and other annotation options—but they behaved differently and it was difficult to determine which one was appropriate. The text editing toolbar also appeared to have very limited formatting capabilities. I couldn't find a straightforward way to make text bold or change its colour, both of which are common requirements when marking up technical drawings.

    My overall impression is that the interface has become significantly harder to learn than previous versions. Simple engineering review tasks now require users to search for hidden tools, interpret unfamiliar terminology, and work around interface limitations.

    Adobe Acrobat is widely used by engineers, architects and designers to review PDF drawings. I believe the markup tools would benefit from being much more discoverable, with a dedicated, clearly labelled drawing toolbar and consistent text formatting options.

    I hope this feedback is helpful. I think Acrobat remains an excellent PDF viewer and editor, but the markup experience for technical drawing review has become unnecessarily complex and time-consuming.

    Hi,

    For certain forms which have fillable fields, only the signature option is shown inside Fill and Sign. When you enter the Fill and Sign app you can see a floating message indicating that the author has specified the fields which you can fill.

    For other PDFs you will be able to see all the tools.

15. Fill & Sign only works with side panel open

    Similar to the bug labeled 'fill and sign', but I have more details to share:
    1) The old Fill & Sign icon was in a side panel on the right. The Fill & Sign icon could be selected and should the side panel be collapsed, the Fill capability would still work.
    2) Now the ability to collapse the side panel and still use Fill capability is no longer an option. For the current Fill & Sign to work the new side panel must remain open.
    3) For example, I select Fill & Sign under the All Tools tab. The Side Panel changes to the Sign tab and the Fill & Sign capability is enabled.
    4) If I close the Sign tab side panel, the All Tools tab is again displayed, but Fill & Sign is disabled.
    5) Operators are forced to have the Sign tab side panel open in order to use the Fill portion of Fill & Sign.

    I have attached a file with options to Fill.

    Thank you.

16. Please allow the quick tool bar to be moved to the top or bottom so it doesn't cover data on the document.

    Since we can only move the toolbar from the left to right, it blocks data on the document. Please allow it to be moved from top to bottom also.

18. Send for Review- No option for check boxes and Filtering does not work!

    Removing the checkmarks is a problem across the board, but I am specifically irritated that it is not an option at all if you share for review in the cloud. My only option for keeping track of edits I have done is to "resolve" each comment. Also, if I filter by unresolved comments, it does not automatically filter live as I am working. So as I resolve a comment, it stays in the comment pane until I go back up, remove my filter, and then add the filter again.

20. Text Box Default

    The majority of time I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC I want my text box properties to be Arial, Blue, Bold and in Italics. Every time I select the Add Text tool I have to re-select these properties, it is very redundant and diminishes my productivity. From what I understand Adobe Acrobat used to allow a default to be set to accomplish this that is no longer available. Please bring it back.
