An error occurred while saving the comment A coworker tried the new interface today, and was unable to even use the program because of feature trial popups and interminably long spinning wheel shenanigans, during which time the program would not respond to any input. So, he didn't even get to experience the interface. After waiting about 10 minutes, Acrobat Pro crashed to desktop. I guess that's progress?
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Vista Mirage,
Bevi Chagnon, who originated the thread, has a few links to reviews of suitable Acrobat Pro replacements up above. We're looking to ditch Adobe for pdf editing as well, since, as you have pointed out, some basic functionality is now no longer reliable.An error occurred while saving the comment Ting You hit the nail on the head. This is a prime example of ensh!ttification. The definition should be annotated with the 2023 Adobe Acrobat UI "upgrade". I see that no one from Adobe has yet had the intestinal fortitude to venture into this feature request. Maybe when it hits 600 votes?
An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder, will anyone at Adobe venture forth to defend these changes once we hit 500 votes? I wonder if they will ever even acknowledge our complaints. I predict that they will simply wait for the outrage to die out and then get rid of the option to roll back to the old interface, then congratulate themselves for performing such a spectacular interface update.
An error occurred while saving the comment There are dozens of feature requests that more or less repeat this one, but with less information and often an angrier bent. I hope that, instead of starting a new request or complaint along these lines, people start to upvote this one, as it is the most comprehensive and has the most votes. Then again, maybe seeing the sheer number of different requests for reverting permanently to the old UI will have some effect on Adobe.
An error occurred while saving the comment Still no comments or apparent interest from Adobe employees. I think a sadist designed the new interface. I haven't heard from a single person that thinks the new interface is an improvement. All my coworkers were freaking out until we figured out how to get the old interface back. For now. We're stuck having to pay for the full CC licenses, but we probably won't be using Acrobat much longer (once the new interface becomes absolute), so I wonder if Adobe will give us a discount, seeing as how we'll have to go to a third party pdf authoring solution.
An error occurred while saving the comment I just realized that this is like a h o s t a g e situation, and Adobe is hoping we experience Stockholm Syndrome. I bet they get rid of the option for the old interface soon, and just sit back and wait for us to numbly acquiesce to their demands. Who knows where this will end? Changing Photoshop's interface? Making Illustrator into a clown show? At least Acrobat now crashes every time I open a pdf. It recovers, sure, but why does it crash each time? Is this a stability improvement, to go along with the interface improvement? Buckle up, buttercup!
An error occurred while saving the comment Instead of adding features and UI alterations that no one asked for, how about fixing and improving core functionality of Acrobat? When I started up Acrobat this morning, I thought I was suffering a stroke. Nothing made sense. Random bits of interface were floating or rearranged. I'm glad I was able to get the old interface back, but Acrobat keeps telling me that the newer version is faster and better. Year. Right. That's why I couldn't use it. Maybe I'm just too **** old...

An error occurred while saving the comment From what some people have reported, you can't. Either you don't have this problem, or you have an adware simulator. In all seriousness, there are potential ways around this behavior. I would suggest checking the Adobe Acrobat Support Community website. Some recent posts have centered around the issues you are experiencing. User Voice has a very low level of actual Adobe to customer interaction. I wish you good luck.

Please, everyone who agrees that the new interface is terrible, go to this thread, share your constructive thoughts, and upvote.

It only has 21 upvotes, and is far more likely to garner attention from Adobe because it is focused on solutions, not just our anger and complaints.
