Acrobat DC SO HORRIBLE it's making me want to cry.

I can't find anywhere to file a complaint or submit feedback, so here it is.

Acrobat DC is horrible. I feel like it wasn't made for professionals at all and makes it much more difficult to navigate a simple document. My custom toolbar at the top? Gone. Replaced by ridiculous pre-school style buttons on the right. Want to re-organize page order? It opens up an entirely separate window for that, totally unnecessarily.

Thanks for giving me a day of trying to figure out how I can delete this worthless pile of kindergarten garbage and somehow get back to just Acrobat XI while still using my cloud sub.

    You can always reinstall DC later.

    I will only address the pages issue. If you want to order the pages and not use the Pages tool, the open the LH Pane and select the pages display there (as in the past) and order the pages using that display the same was as in the past. Also not that in the Pages tool you complained about, there is a zoom button on the lower right to adjust the page sizes.

    You will likely find a lot of the other features are still there, but organized differently. It takes some time to adjust to DC and that might be you biggest issue. As will all changes there will be pros and cons. There are things in DC I do not like either, but I deal with it.

      Couldn't agree more. This update was clearly not made with graphics professionals in mind. All important functions eg. for checking print files etc are hard to find and clunky to use at best. Also got horrible display issues with larger files.
      Going back to version XI now. Adobe, please don't start neglecting your professional customers to make your software "more accessible"!

        I too have just installed this nightmare. Adobe really messed up with this bloated pile of crap. This is the "My Little Pony" version. I can only rollback to a useable version and hope the team that put this together gets sent down to kindergarten. I wasted a whole day and lost all of my settings on this little adventure.
        What is with the light background?
        Why cant I open pdf file to the preset magnification, just full screen? Do my customers get this if they download the reader?
        Did I mention the horribly bright background?

        Yes the large bright buttons are great for three year olds', but I earn my living with this software. NO!
        Every time I look at a new feature I gasp. Well now I have stopped looking. I am rolling back to XI, and spending the time wasted by filling in this form.
        This is the first time I have bothered to complain about Adobe software in some 25 years of use.
        Okay, install complete, now I go back to work.
        How about your Acrobat team go back to work too?

              Hi keebusameows,

              Thank you for your feedback.

              We would pass this on to the development team so that necessary implementations could be made.

              regards,

              Anubha

                Please pass this comment and the myriad of other posts who are totally disgusted with this mess on to the development team before having them sacked for trashing the Adobe brand.

                They have committed corporate sabotage.

                I know kids are starting to use computers earlier each year; but I didn't think Kindergarten kids were being employed by Adobe to do their programming.

                This dogs breakfast of an iteration looks like it was hand written in crayon by kindergarten kids to replicate their crayon drawings after a Rugrats marathon.

                What is even more annoying is sooner or later we will need to install yet another update to over ride this unmitigated disaster, so no point in uninstalling it.

                You've stuffed up big time this time Adobe; this has made General Custer's stuff up at the battle of Little Big Horn look like a success story!!!!!

                  creative cloud took over my acrobat dc pro and converted it to subscripotion. ADOBE are robbers and extortionists.
