Acrobat Pro DC is a mistake

This is the most TERRIBLE software Adobe has made. It gets stuck so many times. We can't even chose to not view the edit PDF options after Acrobat DC starts. The editing of documents menu is not only bad to operate, it is also faulty. I wish i could uninstall Acrobat DC and install Acrobat Reader XI again. This software is not an update of Reader XI, it makes me feel that I have gone 5 years behind time! I can barely see the new thumbnail icon of Acrobat DC PDF files on my desktop. I wish I could undo Acrobat DC from my laptop but sadly Adobe doesn't have Acrobat Reader XI in their downloads list!

PDFs are such important documents and they become uncomfortable to use with Acrobat DC. I might as well use some other PDF reader software for reading and editing PDFs. I tried the option of Help-Repair installation. But in vain.

    Yes yes I meant Adobe Acrobat Reader DC when I said Adobe Reader DC..was jus using a short form..


    To reiterate what try67 already said, no version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader could ever edit like you were doing. You would have had the full version of Acrobat. I know, the names are a bit confusing....

    You are right: it is not.  Despite the similarity in name Acrobat Reader (free) and Acrobat Pro (paid) are two different programs.  Also, installing Acrobat Pro DC will not uninstall Adobe Reader XI.  It may change the default file association, but that can easily be changed back.

      I think Creative Cloud has automatically uninstalled Adobe Reader XI to replace with Acrobat Pro DC. I tried to change the open with options but my laptop doesn't have Adobe Reader XI now. When I search in Google to download Acrobat Reader, the link directs me to Acrobat Pro DC installer. I hate Adobe Reader Pro DC.
