Can searching for Tools be done in past Adobe Acrobat versions?

Hello

I am going to soon be giving a presentation of Acrobat Pro commands to a large group of people.  Some of the people may have earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro/Standard/Reader (e.g., Acrobat 10, 11, DC, 2017, 2020)    The location of specific tools now may be different from where the tools are found in earlier versions.   Question: does the Search feature (Control F) in earlier versions allow users to find the tool they need like it does in the current version?

 

Thank you very much,

Craig

No, this feature was only introduced to the latest version of Acrobat/Reader (DC and maybe 2020).

thank you very much!

May I please get your suggestion on this next related question? 

As the people in the class may bring in different Adobe Acrobat versions, do you know of a site that I can go to, to find out where the Tools were located in each older version?   Maybe a screenshot that shows where the tools were located in each version?

I anticipate some student might ask where they can find a specific tool in their older version after I show them where it is in the current version.  

Thanks for any suggestion on this!

Craig

Not really, sorry. Adobe keeps moving things around and renaming tools and panels, unfortunately, so it's quite difficult to keep track of it.
