Acrobat Pro DC seems to be getting worse

Your so called "Updates" seem to be sending acrobat backwards unless you can tell me how to turn this rubbish off.

It has been sitting like this for an hour trying to read an image and vector line, this software is totally bloody useless now. This is an example of a designer/software designer completely mis-understanding that form follows function.

The primary function here being to OPEN pdf's. Not all pdf's are essays written by students, some are image and plan heavy. This half arsed approach to development is costly and very annoying.

If i want it to read the pdf i will ask it to read the pdf, otherwise i will read it myself.

Well meaning but ill advised "fiddlers" are harmful to your brand. i thought Adobe had learnt this one decades ago.
