Question

How to view individual PDFs inside the PDF Portfolio?

Before the recent Adobe Pro update, I am able to view the contents of each individual PDFs within the PDF Portfolio without clicking "Open Document". That means one click on the file name & I can immediately see the individual PDF content.

 

But that feature is no longer possible. So I have click twice: First click is on the file name and the second click on the "Open Document". Because the opened file resides on a separate tab, I have to click back the prior tab to click open another file name. So many clicks required!

 

I know it doesn't sound like a big deal to have a few additional clicks. But in my field or work, I deal with a lot of PDF Portfolio files every day. This means I have to increase 1000% of my mouse clicks!

 

Can someone please roleback the old Acrobat Pro? There was nothing wrong with that and everything is wrong with this new version!!

    Agreed! The new Adobe "Classic" is terrible for efficiency. My work relies almost exclusively on portfolios and this update literally increases everyone's work by 300%. I don't have the option to go back, but I'm telling everyone who will listen that this has literally crippled our office. It's astonishing to lose so much functionality. One thing is certain, judging by this update, Adobe is not interested in meeting the customers' needs.

    @Amal. , it will be more efficient that your engineering team read this forum instead.  Your customers have already given their feedback. It is unwise to ask them to repeat the feedback again.

     

    I managed to revert back to the old Adobe Pro. So I am all good for now. Please feedback to engineering team not to disable that old Adobe! I will use it forward but not the new version!
