How do I go back to the old Acrobat?

The update is terrible. Comment tools are complicated and/or missing. Nothing is where it was

How can I reinstall the last version??

To revert to the old interface:

  • On Macs, go to the View menu and select Disable New Acrobat.
  • On Windows, to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner (where the old File menu used to be) and select Disable New Acrobat, it's about 2/3 down the menu.

Agree with Matt. The screen layout is messed up now. Can't easily find old commenting / editing tools. I would like the bookmarks / pages returned to left side of screen from the right side where it suddenly moved to. The toolbar that used to appear on top is now on the left side and has changed from what it contained before update. How can I get the old screen format / layout / page appearance like it was before this last update.

You don't need to install the previous version. You can revert to the old UI by selecting View -> Disable New Acrobat.
