1. Remove internal ads from paid version of Acrobat

   Can we please have a debloated home screen in Adobe Acrobat?

   Looking at the current layout, half the screen is wasted on stuff I’ll never use:
   • Curated project ads like “Unlock your sales potential with TED” — this isn’t why I opened Acrobat.
   • AI features pushing “summarize your notes” when all I want is to view and edit PDFs.
   • Meeting transcription integration — how is this even related to a PDF tool?

   And the strangest part: if I’m running Acrobat DC (formerly Acrobat Pro, Acrobat X, etc.), that already means I’m a paying customer. Why is the home screen still trying to upsell me with irrelevant promos?

   All of this clutters the interface and makes the actual purpose of Acrobat harder to reach. A Publisher Mode without ads, promos, or unrelated features would make Acrobat far more usable.

3. AI

   Please pay attention to those of who are asking to have the AI feature stop intruding into our work. Actions (in this case inaction) speak louder than words, and you are telling me very clearly to stop using adobe, because you insist on imposing "AI" on me at every step. Given the demonstrated problems with hallucinations in AI, your are offering is a threat, not a bonus.

4. Remove all generative AI functions.

   This is not an idea, I just wanted to provide feedback that generative AI tools are an instant turn-off. I would vastly prefer a program that helps fight against the use of generative AI by protecting my documents from AI programs. I would pay more money to use a program that does not feature any kind of AI assistance, AI suggestions, AI integration of any kind.

   We used to live in a world where corporations understood that when a user has a positive experience with a product or service, they will only tell one or two people, but if they have a negative one, they will tell many people. Within that context, I hope you understand that the pop-up ads I keep getting suggesting I upgrade to a version with more generative AI tools and the unremovable AI integration in the layout of the program are the kinds of things that make me want to not only find a permanent replacement for any and all Adobe products (not restricted to Acrobat, which this is about), but also to then enthusiastically recommend that everyone I know stop using Adobe as well and switch to another product. It is my strong belief -- and I very much look forward to this day -- that every tech company that jumped to integrate AI into their products are going to find that this is one of the most negative decisions in their entire corporate history regarding the stability and loyalty of their userbases, and more importantly, their bottom line. I expect some companies, household names, will go out of business due to the generative AI bubble, and as mentioned, that will be a great day. Generative AI instantly makes me think less of any product or service that integrates or uses it, and the only possible solution to this is to at least offer a version of the product that does not integrate AI in any way.

   I am submitting this idea despite the many others that are posted exactly like it in the hopes that each one receives many votes calling it critical and ultimately you are forced to choose between your irrational devotion to bad tech and your consumers.

5. Custom Comment status

   Useful function in previous comment made in 2017 quoted below was replied by Adobe to work on but yet to be incorporated in the latest adobe acrobat version in 2025:

   Custom Comment Status Tags
   It would be nice if users can create and manage custom status tags. Often when I'm addressing comments I use the status tags for organizing which comments I've addressed and how I address them. I turn them on and off to keep track of which one's I've addressed. For the most part they are usually accepted or rejected, but sometimes there are some that should be addressed by someone else, some that require further clarification, some that I simply want to put on the back-burner but don't want to see when I filter out comments that have not been addressed, and other types. The remaining options of "Cancelled" or "Completed" don't always fit and that has created confusion in the past. it would be nice if there were more options in order to improve the usefulness of the filtering tool and to eliminate confusion among reviewers.

   Hope Adobe can promptly incorporate this useful function.

6. The difference between "e-signature" and "digital signature" isn't clear from a user perspective within the AdobeSign interface.

   The difference between "e-signature" and "digital signature" isn't clear from a user perspective within the AdobeSign interface. This is because EU law only distinguishes between the following three signature types: 1. Normal Signing; 2. Advanced Signing; and 3. Qualified Signing. Can better alternatives be devised for these names from a user perspective that would more clearly indicate the difference?

7. Old UI was Better

   Basically the old Adobe Acrobat Reader UI was significantly better and it continues to get worse. I often hop from PC to PC and every time I need to reinstall Reader I have to go and hunt down the settings to change everything back. It's taxing. Obnoxious. Here are the most important key changes that I have to make every time:

   1. The toolbar used to be docked at the top of the screen with tools like select, highlight, page navigation (back, forward, page up, page down), zoom, etc. Now it is a floating pane. I need it docked at the top.

   2. Page navigation tools including TOC and bookmarks used to be docked on the left side of the app. Now it's not there. I need it docked left.

   3. More tools used to be docked on the right side of the app like Export PDF, Edit PDF, Create PDF, etc and I could collapse it so I didn't actually see it. Now it is replaced with some kind of page navigation pane with "Edit, delete, or reply to comments", "Add, delete, or go to a specific bookmark", page thumbnails, next page and previous page and zoom. I need it the other older way.

   4. The old app interface had File, Edit, View, Sign, Window, Help in the top toolbar with Home and Tools in a toolbar just below that with the open files as tabs next to them in that same toolbar. Now there is just a Menu button with a bunch of options and a home button and the open files as tabs next to that menu and home button. I need it the old way.

   There's more too but this where I have to start over each time. It's awful. Why did you one day just decide the way everyone had been using it for years needed to be changed? And now I have to keep changing it back and have been doing so for years and I'm sick of it.

   And while I'm at it, remove any traces of AI from your products. Didn't ask for it. Don't need it. Don't want it.

9. BUG REPORT!!!!!!! Replacing a TOC page with list of hyperlinks FAILS - why is Acrobat such a piece of garbage??!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!?

   I was hoping to post a bug report on this piece of garbage [SH*T] application but here I am joining a group to post this to everyone who needs to know just what an absolute piece of garbage Adobe Acrobat is, and has always been.

   908-page doc with two pages of the 8 pages of contents that needs to be replaced with two new pages that have external hyperlinks.

   These two page work exactly as they should as separate standalone pages.

   But when I replace - side note - why is the text window on this also garbage platform cutting off the text I am typing? Did no one test this garbage as well... when I replace the two pages in the 908-page document, the EFFING hyperlinks disappear, all I have is two pages of blue underlined text with no operative hyperlinks.

   So here I am once again with this utterly pathetic useless garbage app doing what should be a 5-minute update and I am now an hour or more into NOT GETTING THIS DONE.

   Who is responsible for Adobe Acrobat and why do they exist?

   I am NOT posting an IDEA - I am posting a TIRADE because once again a simple operation in the most useless piece of **** application Adobe has ever dreamed up is sucking time from me and the client is waiting.

   Refund my entire year's subscription because this is what it is costing me in time and money - and it should only take 5 minutes.

   Sick and tired of Adobe's ********. Sell the company back to someone who knows what they're doing.

   Idiots.

   So now I have signed up for this wonderful group of complainants and I cannot click the POST IDEA button - IT IS A BUG REPORT. WHAT PART OF BUG REPORT IS ADOBE NOT UNDERSTANDING????????????

10. Edits on one page appearing across other pages of a document

    When I edit a document, whether it be striking out a word or adding a new paragraph it will past the same actions across multiple pages within my document. Its a bug I cant seem to get rid off. I just want the one area edited not pasting what I am editing across every page of my document. Makes the program unusable.

11. Remove AI and clean up your feature request / bug reports

    Remove AI. Also, actually look at your feature requests and bug reports. There are odd submissions for dating sites, fps hacks, and a bunch of other suspicious activity that does not belong here. Also, please remove AI. If you want me to use AI, I will and will stop using adobe. I bet ChatGPT can make me a better PDF than whatever garbage acrobat is doing.

12. pop-ups

    Get your fingers out of my business. I pay the full price to use your software. So stop shoving pop-ups for new functions and other services in my face. I'm trying to work here. I'm not here for fun, and I sure as **** am not here for YOU. It's supposed to be the other way around. You're supposed to be the industry leader; act like it or I'll find another provider. They'll still push pop-ups in front of me, but they'll charge half the price for it. You should be ashamed.

13. AI Assistant

    AI Insanity!

    Provide a verifiable way to completely remove AI Assistant in Adobe Reader. I do not want an AI anything capturing any financial or other privacy related documents and processing them in the cloud, especially in Beta form. Most users will not read to the point of understanding the cloud aspect of this. This is a ridiculous and even dangerous function to offer, promote and even present to the general user.

14. Horrendously Ridiculous Gawdawful New Design

    Your new design is Horrendous. I can't find anything. Why do you shuffle everything around and hide all the most useful tools so no one can find them. Do you delight in making your users crazy? Not to mention terribly inefficient - it takes me 5 times longer to create and edit a document and even then it's not how I want it to appear. I often have to just save and move the file to my old PC and work off my old Adobe Acrobat (in no time it turns out just how I want it!!). Who on earth thought up this new design?!?!?
    
    And - please get rid of the stupid nuisance annoying AI.

15. Combine fillable forms with identical field names in one pdf

    When merging two/more fillable forms that contain identical field names (e.g., 'Name' in two distinct form sections) into one document, the information from the first form automatically populates the corresponding fields across all forms. There should be an opt-out from this feature to prevent data duplication when the forms represent different information and still need to be combined in one document.

19. MY SAVED SIGNATURES IN FILL & SIGN ARE GONE

    For some reason Adobe DC seems to delete a user's signature data causally considering they only allow us to save two. My signatures are gone suddenly, even tried opt to the web extension to see if its only the windows software problem, unfortunately no! The signatures are gone. I had to re-draw my signature when this happens and it is time-wasting.

20. Error in placement of combining diacriticals

    I use combining diacriticals from font Cambria Math, specifically U+031F and U+0320. These have rendered properly in previous versions of Acrobat. The current version improperly places some, but not all, of the combining diacriticals. This error in placement affects both screen display and print from the PDF. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

    I am attaching two 1-page PDFs exported from my page layout application. One preserves the glyph codes, the other was set to "rasterize everything". Direct your attention to the last paragraph, following "rectangle of interest". The rasterized output properly places all four combining diacritical glyphs, while the normal output improperly places the diacritical w.r.t the 'f'. This error is repeated on the next line of text.

    I have examined the Unicode sequence in the page layout application, and the combining diacriticals properly follow the letters they are to combine with. I do not have access to the PDF internal format to confirm how they were exported.
