I am working with Acrobat Pro since the very, VERY early days. Instead of improving the app it is getting worse with every update. Here is my current bug/missing feature list:
- Does not list last open files correctly on splash screen
- Does not list last used folders on save screen. I still did not find a way to switch off the new save screen.
- Editing tools are reduced – Using Creative Cloud I do NOT want to use Adobe Express.
- The app is overall sluggish, slow and unreliable
- Generating and editing forms in Acrobat is terrible, slow, buggy, sluggish and not intuitive, yet complicated.
- Text tools are reduced and limited in the current version. E.g. in former versions the line height when filling forms could be adjusted – not anymore.
- The recognition of form fields in scanned documents does not function anymore reliable. Crosses are not automatically set in the correct size and cannot be copied. So every cross mark set in a form has to be adjusted individually.
- Text fields altogether cannot be copied anymore when filling/generating forms.
- I could not care less for AI support as long as basic functionalities are getting worse instead of getting fixed...
No platform makes it more obvious how much silo thinking is within the dev teams of each app than Adobe CC.
Shortcuts, icons, functionality, underlying code – Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and worst in Acrobat – all apps seem to be programmed from different and rival software companies.
Where is the synergy? Where is a unfied app experience?
Why does Acrobat need to be that bad now?
