How do I go back to the old Acrobat?

Yes please notify your product team that the way the new changes have been launched are terrible. The change was too extreme. I have used (and paid!) for acrobat for several years and rely on it for work and personal admin. I now have to completely retrain and it is not very intuitive. It is slowing me down and I now am hesitant to use it. You should not have allowed such an extreme release that has completely transformed the interface. The learning curve is too steap. Not only that, I just tried to fill in a form and wasn't able to do so, it was giving me issues all over the place and was a painful process. I was not able to just fill in the boxes. I have now reverted back to the old version (as others have said thank goodness that is possible) and now I can fill in the form just fine, just as I always did. So there are also feature performance issues. 

Perhaps the worst update I've ever seen.  Why take away all the functional tools and hide them?  It has made workflow 10x slower until I found this thread.

I have an iPad and I do not have a drop-down menu on the left. I have All Tools, But there's no option to revert back to the old version. So what do I do now?

This is a terrible "upgrade" it's difficult to use and is a tremendous time waster.  Bring back the old.  

Agreed... this new update is absolutely terrible. For everyone that couldn't find the 'Disable New Acrobat' under 'View' (like me), you can just search for it under the 'Help' -Search box and find it, click it, restart Acrobat ...and go back to being productive. 🙂

Wish List

Fellow Acrobat users!

I want to turn our complaints into something useful for Adobe's development team, so I wrote up some key fixes to the new interface that will help us get the tools we need while giving Adobe a better interface for Acrobat's future features.

Please take a minute to review my wish list.

And please add your ideas to it!

• Keep it positive and helpful. (They already know how much we hate it, they got the message.)
• Suggestions on what you want to see changed or restored.
• Just address the interface, not what features you want (that's for another post).

And be sure to describe what you use Acrobat for, how it's used for work or your personal computing. It's clear that the Adobe design team may have missed how various industries rely on Acrobat, so here's your chance to let them know what you need in the interface.

I believe it's our last chance to get the Acrobat we need before Adobe carves the new interface into stone.

The wish list is at:

This is not my first time encountering a new Acrobat interface.

And no, I don't work for Adobe.

For the record, The new interface is absolute @#$%^ garbage.  Thank god you give us the option to revert to the old interface. And no, it will not make us more productive.  We lose productivity trying to relearn a software that we already know.  Adobe is the only software company I know that compeltely abandons their UI on a regular basis.  We were productive in the old version.  Who was asking for this crap?  Why is it so hard to customize view options?     Just stop already.   

Setting back to old version still has home page with type so small can't read it on Mac Studio monitor. 

Totally agree. Why do these people have to mess around with something when it's fine the way it is? 

Thank you for asking this question! It solved my problem and I am happy to go back to the old version!
