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'm with you 100% John !! I only use Adobe Acrobat Pro occationally for work. I didn't know how to use the previous version very well. This new update changed the entire interface. The few tools I use have been moved (somewhere) which makes Acrobat unusable to me. I can't even find the Hand tool now. I need to revert back so I can get some work done. There should be a verision like Photoshop Express. People like us need more than Acrobat Reader, but not all the functions and complexity of Acrobat Pro.

Thank you. I hate the newer version! All of the menus are on the wrong sides of the document and all of the icons make it difficult when you are trying to edit something in a hurry. I have now reverted back.

I would just turn it off in the view menu. See the screenshot below (in this image, I have it already turned off)

For anyone that stumbles on this post, I found this page that allowed me to revert to an older version.

Thank You!!! This update took out my entire office. Not one single person could find anything. I am extremely competent with computers and software and I could not even find the freaking Zoom functions. Worst update imaginable.

I know right?! I wasted over 20min just looking for the zoom feature normally right there front and centre of the app!? And, I never did find it!? Insane. Very glad for this post on how to revert back.
