Version 2023.003.20201 is absolutely terrible!! Who decided to change the UX and UI of this app? It was perfectly fine. Now it's unusable. How does one go back a version? I should have turned off my auto-updates. This is a very dissapointing update in every possible way. Would love some info on my request. Thank you.

    I want to thank Kodak for helping me, they gave me instructions how to remove the current version and links to last years version. This version broke multiple plug-ins and so many other issues with how it ran. I cant even use any  Plug ins with a 4k monitor since over a year ago. At least last year the Plug ins would run on Non 4 K monitors. Adobe needs to be more aware of what the users needs are and work with companies like Kodak that have Prepress plug ins that are for printing. Adobe, let us know when this is fixed.

    I hadn't used my personal Acrobat in a while, but this new version is a mess. Thank you for the downgrade Adobe. What were you thinking?!

      With you. Tabbed view is not conducive and after spending 30 minutes trying to find where to turn it off, reverted back to the old format.

        I agree - I cannot do anything I used to do and am not willing to spend the time learning - time is money and this is costing me esign documents.  They are all going out blank!

          Agreed! It is absolutely AWFUL! Not user friendly or intuitive!

            This version is terrible. I get the whole "let's change it to make better" idea but this is unusable. My acrobat crashes all the time, it runs slow, the window for "what's new" pops up with every file I open. Someone should be fired for this.

              Agree the new version does not allow you to edit text efficiently. The previous version is way better, thank you for sharing this link

                its most egregious that it seems to be the only (?) CC app that you cant install older versions. 

                We use pitstop pro to get PDFs print ready and the latest update to acrobat broke it. No way to revert back to the previous version.

                  Hi @Diguru-Studio 

                   

                  We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change. We are actively working on the suggestions and feedbacks and we will address them with the highest priority.

                   

                  If your critical workflows are impacted, you can switch to the old UI from the “Menu” on the top left corner of Windows and View Menu on MacOS.

                   

                  For more info about the new Acrobat please go through the help page https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/learn-about-new-acrobat/td-p/14078856

                  This new adobe is so bad.  Agree with most all of the negative feedback.  What seems to be such an obvious mess up is how you can't even move the window if part of the window is not visibile and you have nothing to grab because tabs span what is visible of the window.  Please go back to the old adobe

                    I agree the new system sucks.  I cannot use it anymore.  Totally useless.  I will not renew.  I am looking for other options.  I mostly copy pages of pdf's to insert into word documents.  Can no longer do that.  Extremely frustrating. Not happy.

                      Adobe - please fire whoever came up with the new UI. It's IMPOSSIBLE to find how to even do the most basic tasks.
