I have dealth with Adobe since the 1980s.  Great Company.  But I am retired now I don't keep up with the nuisances of technology.  So I opened a form I greated for a Yatch Club like I have done for the last 10 years. And behold.  The toolbar is nothing, like chinese icons on the right and left.  I just want to change a format of text without going through a videos or entering college again.  You have made it so hard and un-intuivative that it unfuctional to me.  I spent 3 hours trying to figures out why everything changed.  This is an old Microsoft trick, change the menu and everyone will think everything is new.  Sorry guys.  Microsoft Word still basically works the same.  I will use them and save as a pdf.  You really dissapointed me on this one.  I just don't understand anymore.  But I am old so I apolgize, Adobe get your act together (KISS).

You're not alone... Many people dislike the new Acrobat UI. Luckily, it can be disabled.

To go back to the old UI click the Options button at the top left corner (Windows) or open the View menu (Mac) and select Disable New Acrobat.
