These developers think I will pay for their experimental software. What a joke. Adobe software is the most annoying, system-killing, amateur software out there. It's ridiculously overpriced and fails you when you can least afford to have it fail you.

Nice.... You suck Adobe.

Buggy and slow?" Please provide specific examples.

I see that you also made a comment about 40 minutes ago about creative cloud problems.

It helps up to know things you have tried, and their outcome.

It helps us to know if you have manually installed plugins / or any add ons-- this includes any of the standard adobe file types.

Screenshots not taken with a phone help. ensure the screenshot shows the eintore screen.

I also realize thant many users profess to know their way around computers- so they do all sorts of "monkeying around" in places they should not be looking into. Turns out they don't "know their way around computers" and often forget to mention such things, and that their friend "Bob" who also knows computers editied his registry for him.....

In most cases "buggy" is user caused.

He's about as close to being objectively correct as possible. Their software is unacceptably buggy and slow.

You have only made three posts since you joined the community, and each of those posts are generally negative:

"These mentally challenged developers"
"I am yet to work with software from a 'reputatable' company that is so broken."
"Stupid!!! So I have to re-edit my photos every couple of years... Very nice. Paying for this crap... "
"You Suck Adobe"

You seem rather frustrated with the software, your comments make it difficult to actually figure out what you are having a problem with. The negativity of your posts probably will make a number of users just not bother with providing any help, or methods to reduce your frustration.

So what exactely do you need help with today? It sounds like you are upset about older resources needing to be updated- did they in fact get updated so you can use them? Screenshots of the enitre program help.

I am as frustrated as they are. BC we do pay a hell of a lot of money for software that I have to tinker with so that it somewhat functions? Take Indesign for example, there are threads on threads on threads about the software not working. People going back to the 2025 version bc it easier than trying to make the “updated” software work. Has there been any updates to fix these bugs? Nope, I have to go and find solutions. So get off your high horse and go fix your software...or leave it and watch adobe get consumed. Adobe you suck

Hi @Designer#1!

I hear you - paying for software that requires workarounds to function is genuinely frustrating, and the feedback that users are rolling back to older versions of InDesign to get work done is something that should be reaching the right teams.

Just to make sure your feedback gets to where it can actually have an impact - InDesign has its own community forum where the team actively monitors reports: https://community.adobe.com/indesign. Specific bug reports there (with steps to reproduce, OS, app version etc.) are much more likely to be actioned than general feedback.
