Acrobat is virtually useless for filling out forms. Any help?

I hav ebeen using Adobe for 15 years. I often need to quickly fill out contracts, time cards, business forms etc. Typically I cna fill out a form using Apple' spreview in a matter of minutes and its easy to quickly change font sizes etc. In adobe ive been struggling for 45 minutes to fill out some simple forms. Im sticking to Apple's preview app until this UI/ UX is improved. Its not intuitive for basic tasks and is too much of a time suck for a professional like me.

You'll need to explain more. What exactly are you trying to do that is not working?

Today - Just quickly filling out text fields and being able to quickly change the font size. I did it in 5 min w Apple Preview. W acrobat I never saw the big A little A come up as the tutorials suggested. I had to click PREPARE FORM and then RIGHT CLICK “properties” to change the font size. Wheres Apple preview has everything on one place at the top of the tool bar. The UI was far more counter intuitive with Adobe Acrobat. Had to google several times to find information.

The form designer decides on the font size, as well as all the other font properties. The only time the user has the ability to change font properties is if the form designer setup the fields for rich text.   

The "little A" doesn't have anything to do with form fields. That's a cursor for adding static text on a page, not filling in a form field.   I think that Apple preview must be doing something similar. I'm sure it's not actually changing the field text size. Apple preview doesn't even fill in the form fields correctly.
