In my new experience of Adobe, my All Tools toolbar is on the left side of the screen and the Zoom in/out feature and the Rotate page features are in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.  I want to be able to move these.  I want the All tools back on the Right side of the screen and I want the Zoom & Rotate features back at the top of the page.  Is there anyway to do this?  I see how to customize the toolbar, but I don't want that small toolbar.  let me know if this is possible.  Pics are attached in the word document below. thanks in advance.

Hi @louis_2454

 

Thanks for reaching out, I understand the New Acrobat experience is a big change in terms of tools alignment.

Sadly, moving toolbars from left to right is not possible. To get to the existing experience, you need to disable the new experience. Please follow:

 

1. Go to the hamburger menu  (Windows) or  View (macOS) > Disable new Acrobat.

2. Select Restart to launch the new experience.

3. To return to your current experience, do one of the following:

  • Windows®: Select the hamburger menu, and then choose Disable new Acrobat.
  • macOS: Go to View > Disable new Acrobat.

Note: All new features and additions, like Acrobat AI assistant, will not be available to the classic experience.

Adobe needs to stop moving tools around just to be moving stuff around. Why would anyone think the contents/menu/bookmarks should on the right side?

Thanks Tariq.  Going back to old experience isn't an option.  New Work laptop so I guess I will have to get used to the new view.  thanks for the response.
