Question

Adobe is trash

Can't believe I am stuck paying for this garbage program. Absolutely filled with bugs that even their support team can't fix. Brand new powerful Windows Computer exclusively used to fill out forms on Adobe and Adobe Pro won’t operate without glitches.

    You might be using the brand new version of Acrobat with the new interface. In addition to looking different, it has many bugs and missing features.

     

    Try reverting to the "classic" user interface by following the instructions here:

    And FYI, I am not an Adobe employee, just a fellow user like you.

      I"m going to try this and hope it works.  I need the original field properties and the instructions I have to revert are not working.

      Once you "Disable New Acrobat," be sure to reboot your computer.

      Hi there,

       

      Sorry to hear about the trouble caused.

      Would you please help us with more details about this issue? Is there anything specific that you did not like about the new view? Was the layout or feature not functioning well when working with the PDF form? 

      A little more information will be helpful to understand the root cause of the issue and also what's missing.

       

      Thanks,

      Akanchha

      i dont mind the layout i just need an aplication to load fast and work smoothly this one does not. it crashes  freezes all the time. it is very frustrating. other PDF viewers and editors i have installed are far superrior in this reguard. but for some reason i still have adobe as default, but not for long because now the curser is not working. that is just absurd.

       

      ther is also a pdf order form i have to use to pull POs on a daily bases that will radomly switch from me typing in a box to typing a memo at the top of the page. how does that work. SMH
