Classic view? - Adobe DC [2018]

I have to mark up PDFs a lot for my job - mostly checking staff ticks and ties and moving them as appropriate. The new adobe DC interface is terrible. The corners are so large it takes 10 times as long to move a small object - and the objects NEED to be small so that they fit and are in a relevant place. MOST places that push an upgrade offer a Classic view - is there any way I can get back to the classic view - from when Adobe was a tolerable program? It's ridiculous that it's so hard to find what you're looking for in this new program. It was a forced upgrade, so I can't go back to the version that was actually good.

    Nope. Not unless you can find a third party website that will still let you download the old version. There are plenty of alternatives to Acrobat of course, but none from Adobe.

    A half dozen or so items there deal with how people want the UI improved. Three of the top four, in fact! Please add your voice and vote the improvements that you want to see.

      It can be done!!! There was an option under the menu in the top left corner that says Disable new Acrobat.

      This option was not available 5 years ago.
