Acrobat Reader for Windows and Mac: User Interface

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

Get rid of the new interface, it is not useful!!

I haven't seen anything as catastrophic as the new interface in years, it will be **** to work with this.
The problem is the new floating menu for "Add comment". The menu, if activated, used to be on top of the page, so you could access everything with one click.

Now with the new menu, I have to laboriously access everything with at least two clicks. It is beyond annoying and time-consuming.

I am an editor and I work on lage pdfs which may have hundreds of comments and corrections. This will add to my workload no end. What on earth possessed the developers to make it HARDER to access tools? What is the point? Also, there seems to be no way to enlarge the menu so all buttons are visible or to put some of the buttons that you use a lot at the top for fast access. If that was possible, things would not be quite so bad! Like this, it is catastrophic and I would really like to have the old version back.

    Also, how is resizing going to help at all? That is NOT my issue.

    Dear Ishita,

    I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Since my Acrobat Readers settings are in German, I have no way of knowing what to do.

    Thanks for my share of the favour, but this is just awful and I am in no way getting used to it, because it is not an improvement, it makes things a lot worse. Thus, how can it be more productive . What exactly is the improvement, in your view? How is it better than before? And no, I do not look forward to upcoming releases, I dread them!

    Hi Julia,

    We appreciate your valuable feedback. Few notable glitches that caught our attention is Tiny Icons.

    You can resize your New Acrobat all at once from Hamburger menu > View > Display Size > Small/Standard/Large.

    We acknowledge that the new Reader represents a notable change, however we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you can be more productive & get more out of Reader.

    Thank you once again for your feedback, and do look forward to our upcoming releases !

    - Ishita
