Question

Not really a question, I just want to blast you for this terrible piece of software.

Acrobat is without a doubt the worst software I have ever used. It crashes literally nonstop, it’s super slow, like gouge your eyeballs out slow, it will randomly delete letters of text and bullet points when you go to save/export the file, its UI is just about as awful as it gets - think of every other standard you come to expect from a software, and it is different in acrobat, it really is a very unfamiliar program - and the compress feature is HOT SHIT. Acrobat’s idea of compressing a PDF to make the file smaller is simply to delete 80% of the elements in the document! Case closed! You get a white piece of paper with random boxes and that’s it. For instance, I made a 2 page document it was 48 MB, so I thought I’d compress it… Acrobat spit out a completely white document that was 45 MB. I literally laughed out loud. 

Adobe seriously needs to retcon this piece of shit and start over. It’s honestly embarrassing.

I have not experienced any of the issues you state. 

Can’t really speak about the compression factor since I have not seen the file(s) in question. 

(You can switch back to the old interface...)
