Question

Can we have a bare bones Acrobat please? Dump the bloat and Ai junk!

Everytime I use Acrobat (Pro) it takes ages to load up my documents, freezes, doesn't respond, looks like it's crashed. And it doesn't matter how hot the spec of the machine is, it has always run like a one legged dog - and it has for years.

Can Adobe just strip back the bloat, the document Share feature, the pointless Ai trash and just provide a lean application that WORKS like it should. All my colleagues experience the painful grind of trying to use Reader or Pro. Can we have a ProLite that just has the needed features and works like programs used to back in the old days? Pretty please?????

@TMTI user 1 I have no problem with my Acrobat Pro. You could disable the new Acrobat (that's what I have on mine!)...


so yours may likely say:
